Now getting back TO the ques-
tion OF the man. We have at the
head OF our ticket a man whom II
has been my great privilege 10 know
for the past twenty years. For the
most part OF the twenty years was
closely associated with him in the
great DUPONT Company which he
purchased in 1902, and which he de-
veloped from an old reliable COM
pany 10 one of the greatest indus
trial enterprises in the world today,
which directly and indirectly,
through It's holdings and control OF
other companies. gives employment
to hundreds OF thousands of people
in these great United States.
About seven years ago Mr.. du
Pont severed his connection with
the dupont Company since which
time there has been no association
between us. except that of the
warmest and closest friendship, and
/ can truly say that there is not
single man In the dupont Company,
who was ever privileged to he as
ISOLATED with Coleman, who would
not welcome him back today. II such
thing were possible. In my opin-
ion Coleman DUPONT Is one OF the
ablest and best posted farmers in
our State and perhaps the greatest
and most versatile business man the
State has ever produced.
