J. which he pleaded Let's get back to
n common sense and reverence for the
C Constitution which this State helped
; TO form" DR.. Layton said that with
n 25S Federal commissions bureaus,
20 boards, etc. this is fast becoming a
e. bureaucratic government" A bureau
- cratic government never can be a
s democratic government" he added.
In two more yeans. unless there is
enlisted a power IN this country
that will resist the tendency now so
well marked, you will see the funda-
mental safeguard, OF the Constitu-
tion as II protects the taxpayer swept
away"
Grafton for p. S. dupont.
Pierre s. DUPONT, who was next
called upon, was given an ovation
when he arose to speak. IT can't
imagine why should be called upon
to speak at a political gathering"
sand Mr.. DUPONT. Il don't know as
much of the doctrines OF the Repub-
lican party as should, don't know
as much of the doctrines Of tba
Democratic party as 1 should. but 7
know one doctrine that should hold
everywhere-'If you get good man
IN place, hold him there I be-
Heve that In Coleman dupont we
nave a good man in the Senate and
should keep him there. 1 am for
MN heart and soul because he is a
great man and Delaware needs a
good representative"
Henry p. Scott then was called
upon. Il pledge my support TO Cole
man DUPONT and will do all can to
promote his candidacy" said Mr..
Scott. Let's rally around Coleman
DUPONT in this campaign and every
thing will be all right. / am grateful
Tor Mr.. Raskob's hospitality, I am
grateful for the friendship OF Cole |
man DUPONT Our personal friend
ships are our richest possessions"
william 5. Hilles, the next speaker
said he was appreciative OF the hos
pitality OF Mr.. Raskob which all had
enjoyed. THE problems which con-
front our country today are not
problems which any political party
can selfishly appropriate to itself.
They are the problems Of the Amer
lean people. Let's send down to
Washington as representative of
the first State which gave adherence
10 the Constitution n man we can
trust to ring true when the time
comes. The fact that we all call
him Coleman DUPONT means some
thing. We know him, we've tried
him, he's one OF us and we know he {
rings true"

Mr.. Raskob said he felt some I

If he were elected president. I'D :

good" was Mr. duPont's reply. Mr. ,
Richards cited this as an illustration ,
of the business methods that have ,
characterized Senator duPont's sue O,
cess. There isn't man in the ,
State of Delaware today who can :
render as great value TO the nation =
IN the Senate as Coleman dupont"
Mr.. Richards asserted "There isn't
my man in the State of Delaware.
excepting Pierre S. DUPONT, who has =,
lone so much for the advancement y
nd betterment of the State. It's a y
latural thing that man of his 81
haracteristics and achievements -
hould have, after less than a year u
n the Senate. a feeling that ne I'
-cJld like TO do something in the u
