l cause men of his stamp are needed
I'VE have heard OF many men IL
our country with swollen funds. Yes
I reply. but we have those also whit
perhaps have distinguished them
selves by swollen benefactions. You
Senator has shown the way OF these
swollen benefactions, and he would
further show the way TO benefit this
State and this country by the splen-
did experiences he has had and the
marvellous triumphs he has had in
construction work, industrial work
and in that kind OF work we need
now in our Congress. In these days
OF reconstruction we need men who
understand how to work and who
understand the spirit OF the workers.
After all we are a great demo-
cratic people. The workers OF this
country are beginning to think.
They are not dumb driven cattle. Who
can better handle the problems that
this industrial era projects upon us
]
cess in industrial enterprises and
who has carried with him the honor,
esteem. love and affection OF the
workers. say that Delaware in

In the Senate will do a service not
, only to the State but will do an i'm

genius to the welfare and recon-
struction OF this great country"
Senator Appreciates
Senator T. Coleman DUPONT at the
conclusion OF Mr.. Strauss address
next was called upon to say a few
words. Senator DUPONT spoke feel
ingly and said in part:
1T is a great pleasure for me to
meet so many of my Delaware
friends here this evening, men whom
I have lived with and worked with
for the past 20 years shoulder to
shoulder and doing what we could
TO improve Delaware commercially,
agriculturally and industrlally.
LAS I look over this assembly 4
recognize faces OF many friends and /
associates who. In hard times and /
business troubles never for mo-
ment hesitated TO work day and .
night. giving their very best efforts
to doing something that would make
Delaware a better place and better
known in the business world. And,
too. I see faces here OF those whose
help was essential IA the building
OF the road through Delaware now,
am glad to say, almost completed
after ~ years OF tenacious work.
Had It not been for the staunch
in the two lower coun-
les particularly, where the road was
needed most and for the loyal way
n which they gave their time and
,fforts. the road would never have
been built.
"It was their loyalty, courage ,
md sense of duty to the state that
made me stick TO the job until It
was finished. ,
'I see here too and recognize
with pleasure faces who during the ,
anxious days OF the World War and
TOO old TO shoulder a rife stayed at
home and did their bit and by loyal, (

tive work for their country. which
is the highest expression OF loyalty
