Delaware, not the railroad map. but
the Boulevard map, showing what
this man has accomplished within
his own State.
This man will be elected Senator
from the State of Delaware as sure
as God made little peaches in Cali
fornia and large ones in Delaware.
Il nominate for the short and long
term, the first man from the First
City from the First State in the
Union. Coleman DUPONT, of Della
ware"
There was more applause for Sen
ator dupont when Mrs. Julia H.
Ashbrook seconded the nomination.
Mrs. Ashbrook. in her speech said:
"On behalf of the Republican
women of the State, through first
hand knowledge of the attitude Of
them, individually and by endorse
ment of the organized committees
Of Republican women. I wish TO name
Coleman DUPONT as their choice for
United States Senator.
Women, from the experience
with public service. both in and out
of politics, are united upon the one
fundamental qualification of any
candidate for ONCE; that qualifica-
tion Is ability specially directed to-
ward the duties which he will have
to perform. No one, I think, will
gainsay that in the matter OF sheer
ability, the man whom 1 have men
TONED stands foremost among all
possible candidates from this State,
wh9m, at a time when grave indus
trial and other domestic problems
are to be solved. we might propose
to represent us in national council.
This recognition OF the ability OF
Coleman DUPONT is undisputed both
locally and nationally. Senator du-
Pont has many other qualifications
that fit him TO represent the State
of Delaware at Washington. but it is
particularly because he has in su-
preme measure that one qualifica-
tlon for which the women of Della
ware and the whole country stand
first, that the Republican women of
the State are pleased to enter thoir
first convention, with the name OF
Coleman DUPONT at the head of the
ticket.
Il know that II Is most unusual
to mention a mans wife In second. |
ing his nomination as candidate |
for election to the United States |
Senate, but the woman who inspires /
this mention is delightfully."- unusual !
herself. She is known nationally as !
we'll as locally with the greatest and /
most genuine admiration for her |
work and her personality. The |
women OF Delaware feel peculiarly
close 10 Mrs. Coleman DUPONT be-
cause OF association with her in
practically every worthy cause
which appeals 10 the best that Is in
women and womanhood, and her be-
Ing at Washington will give to us
an additional representative in
whom we have this special conf
ience.
Therefore. on behalf OF the Re
publican women OF the State. as ap-
)eallng not only to them and women
