If Governor Denney could have found anywhere a
more capable suitable to appoint to the

do not know where it could be who might that man.
That Gen. du Points preseE ill-health is not
enough to prevent his acceptance appointment
most gratifying and has only to judge from the
ord industry and achievement has marked his
whole to know that he will fill the office such
way to do credit to himself and to State and
country.
No in Delaware, and few, if any, in the nation
better equipped to be service both State

scrbing him months ago. well summed up some
of his remarkable characteristics and abilities that

the affairs of some of the largest corporations in the
country. His genius for organization is known in all
parts of the world It matters not whether it be
business, political labor organization,
farther than he the thing that needs to be done.
No man can formulate plans quickly and execute
them with such accuracy. No work longer
hours or do more in single hour than he No man
has original IDEAS can express them in as
few words, and abandons his own ideas so
quickly when he they practical His great

America better than his own life. He realizes that

Of what other could such a description be truth

We congratulate Governor Denney upon his choice
