great Government after the man.
date OF the people expressed by the
greatest majority ever given a presi-
dent in a contest between two OF
the major parties In Delaware this
year the United states Senator and
Congressman are to be elected, as
well as a State Auditor and Trea-
surer. In 1921, when President
Harding was inaugurated, we found
debt Of twenty-four billions OF
dollars and an annual interest
charge Of one billion dollars. In the
first year OF President Harding's ad-
ministration three hundred and
fifty million dollars OF the prin-
cipal of this debt was paid off in
spite OF the fact that we found our
selves confronted with the most dis
astrous revenue system ever enact
ed on the statute books. This Con-
gress, under President Harding, has
reduced the burden OF taxes upon
the people by eight hundred and
nineteen million dollars n year.

can Congress. the annual appropria-
tions were reduced to $3.9O9'OOO'OOO'

pioyees on March 4. 1921, which has
been reduced by 10000 employees
under the present Administration,
and the Government is being run at
least as efficiently, II not more so,
than before.
I'VE found the ports OF the coun-
try open to the cheap labor OF the
world and our local industries at the
mercy OF the foreign imports. This
was checked by a wise Congress in
the passage of a just immigration
law. We also closed this country 20
the food OF cheap foreign goods,
made by cheap foreign labor, cheap
er than ever because OF conditions
abroad. and we closed them by the
Emergency Tariff Law. In spite OF
the dilatory tactics OF the Demo-
cratic minority in the Senate. just
and proper tariff law wdll be passed
In the very near future which will
further regulate and protect Ameri-
can industries, which need protec-
lion as never before because OF the
