Curley said, that good thinking. hard
working people ought to stop and con-
slider tho advtsability OF voting Tor
candidates that stood for such par
~.
Speaking OF the Republican candi-
dates, Mr.. Curley said that while
Congressman Layton had voted well
on some things that there was one
vote-that in favor OF voting TO re-
duce the tax on the rich and increase
il on the working man that woulo
make many working people vote
against him. As regards Senator du
Pont. Mr.. Curley said he had not the
privilege OF personal acquaintance
ship, but that he considered from
what he had heard that he was a
fine fellow.
But. it's not for what Senator du
Pont Is himself, but what he stands
for that l am opposed to him., he
continued. II wonder II he would have
been thought of as candidate for
Senator II 1t had not been for his
wealth?
IL wonder II he would have been
thought OF as a candidate II ne had
not for the past ten or twelve years
been the acknowledged leader OF his
party in this state?
IL wonder II he would have been
named TO his present position If he
had not originally named the COVER
nor who subsequently appointed him.
| This governor owes his nomination
and consequent election to the power
which Mr.. du Pont controls. There
Is not a man named to Office that does
! not bear the du Pont q. X. II he
doesn't get 1t, he doesn't get the job
| When vacancy occurred In the
| United States Senate from this State,
the man whom Mr.. du Pont created
as governor of Delaware did not hest
tate but named his creator in politics
as the man who should I'LL that
vacancy"
| Mr.. Curley then mentioned some
things which every one who reads
knows. That MIR. du Pont spends but
little time in Delaware because OF hi:
many pressing duties elsewhere.
He stops of in this city occasion
ally" said Mr.. Curley. because hi!
train passes through the city. Whei
he does come, everything stops here
From the Governor down. all III,
office holders, big and little leave thei
desks and HE themselves to Whining
ton. wait patiently hour by hour ii
the corridor waiting TO be called int
conference with the big man. Ever,
one knows that he holds position Il
New York City. When he was name
United States Senator. the New Yorl
newspapers facetiously commented o.
IL by saying that while the Constitu
ton called for each State to have bu
two L. $. Senators that New Yor
now had three because Police Com
missioner Coleman du Pont had bee
named by the Governor of Delawar
tn such position.
Comparing the Republican cand
dates with those offered by the Demo
Gratis, IL is not surprising TO me tina
SO many people are going to vote fo
the latter candidates this fall. In a
my experience / have never know
such worthy men TO be named by tn
Democrats. Mr.. Thomas F. Bayar
the candidate in opposition to Mr.. d
Pont. is a Delaware bred man, born,
call your attention to. in this Stat,
Raised here and now living here an
practicing an honorable profession
He doesn't fiit about the country bu
lives here among us all the tim,
Judge Boyce is another man whor
any citizen could proudly supper
Every one who knows him realize
his worth"
