Senate because their judgment Is
worth something. There isn't mar
in your community better able &c
manage your affairs. His neighbors
hero don't know all that he has done
in behalf OF worthy purposes. Send
him 20 the United States Senate and
help Harding and the rest 10 accom-
plish the work OF reconstruction"
In opening the meeting Mr.. Heald
dwelt upon the importance OF the
present election. He declared the
Republican party welcomed criti-
cism so long as Il was honest crlti-
cism. He stressed consideration OF
the tax burden. declaring that just
so far as the Republican party had
lessened Il just so rar was It deserv-
ing OF support. In this connection,
he declaed he believed the admin
lstration OF the States affairs had
been most successful. This declara-
ton called forth applause. Later.
In presenting Secretary Weeks. Mr..
Heald- drew even greater applause
by declaring "the present campaign
and election is only a skirmish for
the kiEdAfl NAAAAf wv f'H@T NNN'"
for the reelection OF Mr.. Harding.
Governor Miller. in his address,
reviewed much OF the ground with
regard TO the charges OF evtrava-
gance In administration OF the
States affairs he covered In his
speeches earlier this week.
Governor Miller riddled the
speech made BY Senator Caraway,
Democrat. al Newark. and kept his
audience laughing by his witty ref
erences TO the Arkansas Senator. He
said he took up the trouble TO look
up the definition OF Caraway or
Carroway. and found It was "a
small seed having a delightful odor."
Mr.. Miller also told OF his part in
bringing about legislation providing
for the present good roads system
in Delaware. There was nothing
further from the thoughts OF sena-
tor DUPONT than using his road as
a stepping stone TO the Senate,
Governor Miller added.
In this campaign" he said. there
are some peculiar features which I
have not noticed in former cam
paigns. The Democratic speakers
coming into this State are having
considerable difficulty in finding an
issue and are making bold asser-
tons and indulging in generalities.
And when these Democratic Sena-
tors come 20 Delaware and make
these assertions they are proving
themselves apostles OF misrepresen-
tation."
And when Senator Stanley says
President Harding is the most dis
credited President the country has
ever had, I say this is rank misrep-
reservation. Senator Stanley says
no taxes have been taken of the
backs OF the American people.
I'VE cannot get away from facts
established by figures. When the
present administration took charge.
this country had debt OF s2S,eT7,-
OOO. 900. We have reduced that DEBT
10 s22, 100000. Immediately
thereafter President Harding,
through the efforts Of General
Dawes. Instituted a budget system
saving the country a tremendous
sum, between three and -four billions
Of dollars, without affecting the eff
ficiency OF the Government.
The various department heads
and Congress got together TO make
a good showing and raised the saw
ing 100000. 900 more. The Demo-
cratic party wanted $1,000. 900. 600
TO run the government In their last
In 1921 the Re-
publicans got along on s5,00O.O00.-
600. end for the fiscal year ending
this June we got along on 1851
600. 900.
1T Is failacious for these men 10
say the President and Congress have
done nothing 10 lift the burden of
tax from the American people. The
income tax law OF 1921 called for
$500. 600. 900 less than the previous
year. This Republican Congress
raised the exemption for persons
making less than $4,000 from $500
to $500. The exemption for de-
pendents was raised from $500 to
$500. They have removed the taxes
from freight bills, express bills, par
eel post charges. soda water. ice
cream, clothing, etc. Liberty bonds
have risen from Ss6 to par under
the supervision OF the Republican
administration. The first year OF
normal Democratic rule showed an
increase OF ssO,00O,D0O over the pre-
vious Republican administration"
Senator DUPONT was introduced by
Mr.. Head as "a man who can take
,are OF himself" Senator dupont
was obliged 10 wait several minutes
until the applause which greeted
1im died down. /
He spoke In glowing terms OF the /
teamwork of the Harding admin /
stration and the wonderful work .
accomplished since Hardings inau- /
guration. He pointed out the ne
,essity OF the American electorate
Joining together to maintain Presi-
lent Harding and his official family
n their efforts TO do what is best
'or the people.
AFTER every Democratic admin
stration," he said. "the people have
,alled upon the Republicans to
1ring order out of chaos
His remark that Republicanism is
lot a theory, but a necessity, was
oudly applauded. I'VE are not at
II ashamed Of what the Republican
'arty has done in the short time II
las been In power" he declared.
If the people OF the United States
an give Mr.. Harding a majority.
liz official family will feel like do
ng better work than they have al
eady done" He pointed out that
Delaware stands ahead OF every
tate in It's per capita expenditure
or good roads and good schools.
