Milford chronicle., 1922-05-19

should he no questions asked but the |
work should be taken up, cheerfully, the |
foremost thought being how to do this
work most effectively, and it is for such,
friends as I have had in Delaware that |
inspires me to do what can for the peo-
pie of this state.
This state is only very small portion
Of our great United States of America
and will, 1 know, proudly do its bit to-
wards helping the administration of Pres
ident Harding who perhaps has had the
most difficult role to fill that any Presi-
dent of the United States has ever had
There were former Presidents who
had big jobs and who did them well, but
to do a good job when you have ten men
to handle, or a good job when you have
a million men to handle, makes quite a
difference. Mr.. Harding's task after eight
years of Democratic mismanagement and
after four years of the most disastrous
and expensive war ever known, has been
such that if he even made start in
the right direction out of such chaos he
would be doing well.
president Harding is trying to intro
duce more business methods into the adj
ministration of our Government and 1
am glad to say every now and then you
can see evidence of system, organization
and of careful and painstaking forez
Thought I think it behooves every citi-
zen of Delaware to give Mr.. Harding and
the Republican administrators at Wash
ington their approval of his efforts by re-
turning to Congress this fall a Republican
Congressman and Republican Senator
"Al of you know that I have never had
a legal or political training. This new
honor that has been conferred on me by
the Governor of Delaware was not one
for which I have been trained or equip
ped. My whole life has been devoted to
commercial industrial and constructive
work and to the work of organization,
and to take on new work at my age is
something unwise, but feel that if the
citizens of Delaware think can serve
them in the administration of the af-
fairs of the Nation at Washington and
be of help to Mr.. Harding it is not for
me to ask the reason why but for me to
do and live and to use my utmost ability
to keep Delaware somewhere near the
top of the list.
st want to take this occasion to thank
John Raslob for a wonderful party and
for the gathering together i'm his beauti-
full home many of the best friends I
have"
ovation for P. S. DUPONT
Pierre S. dupont, who was next called
upon, was given an ovation when he
arose to speak. 'I can't imagine why 1
should be called upon to speak at a pol
itical gathering" said Mr.. DUPONT. Il
don't know as much of the doctrines of
the Republican party as I should,
don't know as much of the doctrines ef
the Democratic party as I should, but I
know one doctrine that should hold every
where-If you get a good man in a
place, hold him there I believe that in
Coleman DUPONT we have a good man in
the Senate and should keep him there.
I am for him heart and soul because he
is a great man and Delaware needs a
good representative"
