Evening journal., 1922-10-10


rendered In the past.
Did time permit, IL would give
me great pleasure 10 soy few
words in regard TO the excellent
nominees on the county ticket. Their
merits, however, are personally
4 known to most OF the voters.
Now, my friends, although il has
always been a maxim OF mine that
the principal duty Of the person who
prosides over a political gathering
/ was 10 introduce the speakers and
not inhict. upon the audience his
personal views. fear that l have
violated my rule on this occasion. 1
hasten to apologize and present to
you the first speaker of the evening"
senator dupont Applauded.
After the applause which greeted
him died away Senator T. Coleman
dupont expressed first his thanks to
Colonel Henry A. DUPONT for at
tending and addressing the meeting.
He has always taken a great inter-
est in the Republican party in Della
ware and the Nation" Senator du
Pont added.
The senator stressed the import
ance of registering. If everyone is
registered once on October 81 and
votes twice on November T. every
thing viii be all right" he remarked
humorously amid laughter. Contin-
uing. Senator dupont said:
President Harding has served
the people Of Delaware and the ma
ton by selecting a very efficient.
strong and able cabinet. They have
worked together and they all pull
together and are working as in
teamwork with the Senate and
House. or course, there are a few
fiare-ups occasionally. but in the
last analysis. teamwork is going on
IN Washington. Mr.. Hughes showed
beyond any question his ability in
his handling of the Disarmament
Conference last January, and
through his efforts more than any |
other one man the size OF our Navy |
was cut down. which means in turn
that II will enable Republicans to |
cut materially the appropriations
and expenditures that were started I
in Congress and ran wild during the
war The conference showed that
he stood head and shoulders above
any other diplomat sent here by the
foreign countries that took part in
It.
Secretary Mellon was well chosen
for the Treasury Department be-
cause he Is a business man and a
fDancier second to none IL this
country The same can be said of
the other cabinet members and
shows the wisdom of the President
IN selecting such men. At this time

on in Washington would be very

show him that we believe in him,
Delaware should elect men to the ,
Senate and House who will work
with him. &
