Never Quit Says Senator DUPONT in Denying Democratic Reports

biles then, We did not have tele-
I phones: trolley cars were not plen-
tiful then; Wilmington had no sky
: scrapers-and we have progressed
in thousand and one ways too nu-
merous TO mention.
But how has Delaware under Re-
publican Administration spent so
much more. 10 which our Demo-
cratic Orators now object7 Look at
the appropriations made by the last
Legislature and find out The
money goes TO support the University
OF Delaware, Public Schools. Schools
for Feeble Minded. institutions for
the protection OF wayward boys and
girls, child welfare work. mothers
pensions, and such efforts for the
benefit and uplift OF humanity.
Would the Democratic Party close
such Institutions, would Mr.. Bayard
demand that our Legislatures refuse
these appropriations? OF course
not. Every Legislature during this
period OF appropriations has had
large representation OF Democratic
members. Sometimes the House of
Representatives has been Democra-t
TIC but have you heard any of these !
Democratic m m b g RS protesting |
against such appropriations? Not {
one. They have supported and vot- :
ed for them and TO that extent are
responsible for these increased ex
penditures for State purposes, and /
III becomes Mr.. Bayard or any other
Democrat to undertake to mislead /
the voters of this State by such de-
ception.
Democrats Hard Put
1T shows to what straits the
Democrats are driven this campaign.
They are without argument. they
have no facts.t present to support
their demand for return to power.
Their record in the Wilson Admin
istration condemns them They be-
trayed the trust the people reposed
in them. We cannot so soon forget /
their mismanagement, their ex-
travagance, their waste. They have !
been tried and found wanting. We
must assure the future by voting the
Republican Ticket We must up-
mold President Harding by giving
him Republican Congress to help
MIN restore 'normalcy' in this United
States. We cannot afford to do 9TH !
