Il am going 10 say 10 you" he de-
clared. that in Senator dupont you
have man who equals Secretary
Mellon in his capacity for handling
the difficult financial affairs OF the
nation. You must send Senator du-
Pont back 10 Washington. for he is
needed there"
After the applause which greeted
former Governor Bartlett's praise of
Senator dupont had died away, Col.
Miller closed the speaking part OF
the rally by calling attention to the
size of the audience and the enthusi-
asm shown as complete refutation
of Democratic charges OF apathy in
the Republican ranks. The motion
picture film followed.
The film, when Dreams Come
True" was developed from an idea
originating in the State Highway De-
partment. The Department realizing
that the story Of roads in Delaware
told IN moving pictures. had great
possibilities. Secretary OF State A. r.
Benson was so much interested in
working out the idea, that he
decided 20 have the film produced

slides and a moving picture Aim
which are likely TO make history in
Delaware and for Delaware. The pic

The beautifully colored slides
which preceded the Aim, showed
spots OF beauty in all three counties
OF the State to illustrate the song,
Our Delaware. written by George ID.
Hynson. Under each picture pro-
jected on the screen were the lines
OF the song which the audience was
supposed 10 sing. but such a rouad
OF applause greeted each familiar
and beautiful scene OF corn all in
tassel," OF cattle cropping clover"
OF the bloom that tints the
peaches" that no attempt could be
made 10 start the song. The holly
and pine" OF dear old Sussex" was
greeted with special enthusiasm.
Particularly effective was the
choosing OF Stanley NJ. Arthur's pic

Delaware Soldiers at Appomattox to
represent the chorus:
Here's the loyal son that pledges
Faith TO good old Delaware"
