The arrival of Colonel Roosevelt
and his party on the stage was signal
for roar of applause and shouting.
Women. who were many in the audi

I lily as the men. With the Colonel
were DR.. Grier. Senator =. Coleman
DUPONT, Congressman Caleb r. Lay
ton, Colonel Thomas w. Miller. and
committee OF representative Re-
publicans Of Kent and Sussex.
Knowing that Colonl Roosevelt's
stay was limited, as he had TO speak
on Saturday night in Lancaster Pa,
DIR. Grier lost no time in presenting
the distinguished guest of the day.
Nor did Colonel Roosevelt lose any
time in beginning his address, plung-

that called forth applause at the end
Of his opening sentence.

going before the men and women OF
this state after IS months of an ad-
ministration that should appeal to

colonel hammered home point after
point with a vigor so reminiscent of
his father as 10 call forth frequent

because of the work they have done
there and because of the work they Y
can do for the Nation nnd for Della
ware, the audience voiced its APP

Laughter and applause greeted
his thrust.
When we Republicans took over

months ago" he remarked, Eve were e
confronted with three great prob J
