Evening journal., 1922-10-28

Senate. answer roll call and bach
upstairs TO the committee, is no
only useless but unwise, and II II IL
only for a quorum and 1 know there
is a quorum present, 1 seldom an
swer the roll call.
The Every Evening states that Mr.
Bayard said had only voted on 81,
, subjects. Mr.. Bayard. whom
know. like and admire, would mo-
willingly make any false statements
This l say without any reservation
but he is misinformed.
Il want Delaware to judge my
stewardship in the Senate, not by
the number of hours sit in the Sen
ate Chamber. not by any LONG
speeches that I may have to make
in self-defense, but by the results
accomplished for the State OF Della
ware and for the United States.
Mr. Bayard. also, so the Every
Evening states, says that Newbery-
ism and duPontlsm are eynonomous.
My only answer TO this is that the
comparison is an insult to the in
telligence Of the Delaware electorate.
Il want TO say frankly, publicly
and with all sincerity that do not
want, and the citizens Of Delaware
should not send me to the u. S.
Senate, for what I have done for
Delaware. The one reason for the
people of Delaware sending me to
the Senate is for what I may be able
TO do for Delaware and the U. S.
1T has been brought TO my at
tention and the statement was made
that had gotten up in a Labor
Committee meeting in Washington
and said, in answer to a request of
the labor people for some arrange
ment or board that would discuss
and elaborate their affairs. that we
did not need any more boards or
committees to look after labor"
''there is too much fussing about la
Dor now" and TO cut It out.
Il want to say right here that this
statement is false, malicious and alb
solutely untrue and the records of
the Labor Committee are open to
any one who cares to go into it."
Mr.. dupont then recited the great
achievements OF the Harding ad-
ministration and OF the wisdom of
Delaware Republicans In backing
him up.
Record Open To Inspection.
As Senator dupont made his reply
to the criticisms OF Judge Boyce and
Mr.. Bayard, he was given rapt atten-
ton. When he made mention OF
Delaware's low taxes the audience
broke out into applause. His dec
laration that he wanted his record in
the Senate TO be judged by results |
and not by roll calls" met hearty |
response from the audience which /
also showed its appreciation when /
he mentioned the announcement In !
The Evening Journal OF the success
full termination of the long fight for /
the dredging and improvement of /
St. Jones Creek.
When Senator DUPONT declared he
always had been a friend Of labor
and believed labor today had mo
better friend in Delaware" the au-
dience burst into rigorous applause.
i've been through the mill, my
self, boysl" he added, causing more
Con Wins the Audience.
Assistant Attorney-General J4off
promptly won the audience by de-
claring that It was his opinion, from
study and from what he personally
had seen, that Delaware possessed I
many attributes that other States
should envy.
Col. Goff continued:
I'VE are in the midst OF crisis
such as comes to nations and civil
cations when the peace Of continued

and economic disorders are the
stakes at issue. The questions that
confront US today affect the count
