case T. c. DUPONT Is the man Dela-
ware should and will send to the
Senate OF the United States.
IF you go TO Washington they will
tell you they want T. c. DUPONT be-
cause of his proven and exceptional
ability. He is one OF the right bow
ers of the Republican party and
President Harding in Washington
The great work done by the Hard
ing administration On the one and
one-half years of its incumbency en-
titles II TO the future confidence OF
the American people. The Republi-
can party found a receivership
forced upon 1t and is slowly but
surely bringing the country TO a
sound basis"
Former Congressman Head pref
aced his speech with the informa-
ton that he has been member of
the Italian Republican Club for the
past twenty-three years. and with
words OF praise for the activities
and success of the club since its
formation in a two-story house on
Lincoln street. The organization. he
stated. has always been staunch
supporter OF its friends.
Il am bound TO say in all sin
certify that the Republican party is
the only party of the Nation and
State that always produces results"
Mr.. Head continued. He commented
that Woodrow Wilson Slipped"
into the ONCE OF the nations chief
executive by the connection and
consequent split in the Republican
party in 1912, deoryins that split as
the one pitiful happening in the
party.
Mr.. Head scored tho excessive
war expenditures. ct don't complain |
because Wilson spent money in the |
war. but II we had gotten in 90 oner |
n would have cost less" he said. |
President Wilson. the speaker said, |
never did have a cabinet; he had !
men, surrounding him who might bo

and were not the kind OF secretaries
that surround President Harding.
President Wilson, Mr. Head
should have been pre-

Senator. that all ths good things
that hsve been brought about were
conceived in the minds OF Demo-
Gratis Mr.. Head said that when one
gets as reckless IN claims as that It
Is certainly evidence that the condi-
lions Of the Democratic party are in
bad shape. "Ail the constructive
things in the country and State have
had full share OF inception in the
minds Of Republicans" the speaker
averred.
Mr. Head ridiculed the claims of
the Democrats to full credit for the
Federal Reserve System, setting
forth that the head OF the commits

seven banks, the Democratic idea.
Instead of one bank. the Republic

Relative to the increased value OF
