ay- to describe the deep and sincere in
ore terest Mr.. dupont has always taker
re- in the social. political and economic
IA welfare OF our state and its citizens
inc Coming to Delaware as he did in
49, 1902. Mr.. dupont organized the du-
- Pont Company TO take over a busi-
- ness which heretofore had been con-
Quoted as a partnership with its
vas principal offices and operations scat
the tered throughout the country. He
,ps quickly evolved a scheme for bring
al ing the principal offices and the ad-
,aa ministration of the business to Del
re aware. resulting in the employment
,rs Of thousands OF people. Under his
,rs able management and direction the
IN company grew and prospered and it
m. was not long before the fruits Of
ed his labor, which flowed TO him. be-
ch gan to be devoted to the promotion
he Of good work in every direction In
In our state.
Sy. We now have in washington, in
ed the person OF Mr.. Harding a presi-
an dent who is devoting all his ener-
us gies not only TO instituting business
rs. in government but so TO shape the |
nd efforts OF the nation as to result in |
p a revival OF business. in which ef- |
he forts he should be most heartily
no supported, for the reason that within
Of another twelve months the fruits Of
Id his efforts will spell the greatest era
ly Of prosperity this country has ever
le known.
II Il know General dupont to be a
ri fhOrOprh ~
s. a man who has unselhshly given Of
It his time and money TO the upbuild-
ing OF industry in this country and
principally, as I stated in the begin
ming. TO the promotion of the best
. interests Of the citizens OF Delaware.
. I. politically, socially and economi-
cally.
! / am sure all here Join me in the
belief that the interests of the state
of Delaware cannot be looked after
in our National Government better
than through securing the same kind
OF untiring energy and devotion
from Coleman dupont that he mas al
ways given to those things in which
he has been connected.
state Chairman Praises
AT the conclusion OF his speech
Mr.. Rsskob called on State Chairman
charles Warner to say few words.
l feel that we all have a sense of
real and genuine appreciation of the
privilege of being here this evening !
to honor Coleman DUPONT said Mr.. I
Warner. I'VE who have had a close b
/ up on Senator dupont in Washing r
ton the past few months realize l
more than ever how high he stands
as a big man among big men To
one OF Coleman duPont's inclinations e
and disposition II is a great sacri- T
ice for him to devote himself 10 /
work of this kind and I honor him l
! Tor making the sacrifice when the I
| opportunity came. Since he is will
ing II II Is the desire OF the citizens Y
10 continue him In the work in the
Senate, 1t Is certainly up to us to 9
bring that about. Personally I am /
convinced the future stands out sat q
isfactorily for us in the coming cam !
paign and we should do our duty
toward rolling up the biggest Re-
publican majority the State has ever
given to show our appreciation OF
Coleman DUPONT and what he has
done for our State"
Mr.. Raskob next called on GOV
I ernor Denney. Il am more than {
pleased TO join you in honoring Cole
man DUPONT" said the Governor. | Z
Too much praise cannot be bestow- Il
ed upon him for what he has done. "
I heartily endorse his nomination a
and election TO the Senate" e
Judge Daniel o. Hastings was the a
next speaker called upon. II new al
er had any doubt about Coleman du- NJ
Pont being a candidate for the SEN 81
ate when he knew he could be elect 81
ed" remarked Judge Hastings hu- IN
morously, "and I never had any W
doubt about the people being for him %
when he was going to be a candi- pi
date" pc
Judge Hastings said he was not
going TO make political speech be- uu
cause he was judge of the municipal ~ ~
court, and in the second place he =
had nothing to say. and in the third |
place, the Judge added. Coleman ~ ~
dupont Is going TO be nominated and pt
elected anyway" I think this IS -
really great opportunity for Della -, -,
opportunity for electing n
IN unusual man 10 a high office. :,
rhe great trouble today is the re- A,
usal of great men to become inter sol
'sted in politics and particularly TO
,ecome candidates for office. It be- 6
zones a matter of courage for IN
nan TO become a candidate and sub q ~,
ect himself TO criticism and attack sne
\ man like Coleman dupont. who Gre
las done great things. who has held Mr.
ligh Office cannot hope to become a sne
'reater man by being elected to Of STR
Ice. II we could have in the Unit "
ID States Senate today a majority and
of men with the business experience gre
Of Coleman dupont we would see her
real revolution in the Senate. A ton
majority of the men there are able Won
,i.eh' Drl.haht men but most OF them wei
are what we call statesmen. The q
great problems OF today are business ~
problems. In addition to real states du,
menship. we need real business men ero
in the Senate" -.
Judge Hastings expressed the de- he,
lief that most Republicans and many mo-
Democrats would vote for Senator tn,
dupont because OF what he has done te,
for the State. He said some critisism ha
had been made because OF Senator pc
duPont's attitude in favor OF leeisla- In
ton allowing liquor to be prescrib- Sc
ed by physicians. "But know Cole
man DUPONT is ready and willing at IN
all times to enforce the law. regard al
less Of his own personal opinions" 20
