asserted the national organization
"is most vitally affected by the sue
cess or failure OF the party in this
state" Even with the Democrats
united In Delaware. he only saw "a
fair chance for party success"
Chairman Hull and a party Of
leading Democrats from all three
counties both men and women. had
dinner at the Hotel Richardson at
noon. There was no speaking az
this dinner hut many Democrats
took the occasion TO meet informally
their national leader.
At las o'clock Mr.. Hull went 10
the Kent Court House and addressed
public meeting. A';er this meet
ing Mr. Hull conferred with mem
hers of the State Committee at
meeting at the Hotel Richardson.
Nearly every member Of the State
committee was present and also
large number OF party men, especial
ly from Kent county.
Mr. Hull in the course OF his ad-
dress said:
Il am indeed fortunate to have
the pleasing privilege and opportun-
Try OF visiting the party officials and
other representative Democrats OF
Delaware. I thank you sincerely for
your invitation TO attend this con-
ference.
Il find q most desirable. apart
from the personal pleasure TO meet
and 10 get acquainted with my asso-
ciate party workers in the different
states Thus TO know each other
contributes 10 better understanding
better teamwork. and I'm all essential
respects better coordination Of our
Joint and separate party activities.
There are chief party agencies.
viz: the Democratic membership Of
the two Houses Of Congress whose
function Il is. at least during the in
terim period. to make the issues.
the National Committee and the
state and local committees. These
three great agencies. supreme in
their respective spheres. are striving
for a common end. and hence arc
expected 10 prosecute their respec-
tice activities in conjunction and
co-operation with each other. SO as
10 avoid duplication. conserve effort.
preserve mutual understanding. and
exert the maximum Of joint endeav-
ors to promote party success.
Democratic success this year
with all that il means 20 the party
and country is in the hands Of the
Democrats themselves. II depends
first on whether Democratic officials
and individuals are sufficiently inter
ested in our great party cause 70
work harmoniously and unselhshiy
as one person for a real Democratic
victory next November, and secondly
on whether men and women will
make up their minds. as In the old
davs. to devote substantial time
energy and some substance TO the
work of selecting the cleanest and
abiegt persons as candidates and OF
securing their election at the polls.
A marty that Is worth standing for
issworth hghting for. There never
was time when Democrats had
less To he ashamed of and more %
be proud or than today. our party
has an unsurpassed record OF
achievements and nothing Tor Wnlch
20 apologize.
For more than a hundred years
when In charge Of the government
10 has demonstrated its entire ability
10 lead the people whether in peace
or in war. The Democratic pro-
gram OF principles and policies are
broad and comprehensive enough 70
embrace every part OF the country
md every class Of persons and OF
legitimate business. Whatever may
he said about the Democratic party
IN has always been honest and in
,orruptible IN It's official actions
throughout its long periods or faith-
pl public service The fundament-
ais OF our party are synonymous with
those on which the government was
founded. Democrats in mosi
. efficient way always show the coun-
frv what they can do when entrust-
I'd with power. our opportunity
for success in coming elections Is
snlendid. but Democrats must take
nothing for granted. They should
on the contrary redouble their activ'
tiles In order TO safeguard the op'
portunities we now have.
TN other states wherever differ

brethren and sisters are forgettinf

OF mutual concession and OF patrio
tic zeal for the welfare OF their party
and their country, in order 20 do yeo
man service henceforth. They have
unanimously concluded that h
Democratic party is bigger than any
faction, or group, or element. and
that Democratic success means IA
more than that Of any individual oi
group or OF any other part OF thu
party.
'I am told that the Democrats o
Delaware have had their interna
troubles. This experience, after all
is hut human nature. and Il Is no

however. that the Delaware Demo

integral part OF our National Dem
