johnson Praises Senator.
Former Secretary OF State Everett
c. Johnson. next made a stir
ring speech. Mr.. johnson said In
part:
There was an eminent philosopher
by the name OF Emerson who said
Institution is the length and shadow
of one man, and just as we have a
man Caesar born we have a Roman
Empire; just as we have a man
Luther born we have a German Rec
lamation; just as we have man
Coleman DUPONT born we have the
longest shadow known in American
history-the DUPONT Highway Not
only does he cast his shadow eco
nomically. not only does he cast
probably the longest shadow physi-
cally in Delaware. but he also casts
the biggest shadow in relations be-
tween the rural sections of Delaware
and the city OF Wilmington, which
does not do Wilmington any harm.
"A few days ago in Levy Court a
rural member from Pencader hun
dred was listening to a Wilmington
resident who was condemning our
rural Republicans OF not being OF
much consideration. He raved on
for quite a time and our friend from
Pencader hundred said he admitted
the fact. but also that rural Della
ware has sent to Wilmington several
responsible citizens who are con-
Quoting your civic affairs. He said,
Can you tell me of any Wilmington
man that has ever gone to rural
Delaware but you sooner or later
had to send his father down to bail
him out?'
Delaware has an opportunity this
year to stand on trial. She has stood
first in war first In peace, when the
world called. when humanity called, !
she stood first. And, the guest of
this evening was a leader in that /,
,ause. You men OF Wilmington and |
,ou Republicans. you business men. |
10 not think for a moment that |
'ural Delaware is going to fail when
[ comes to exercising the privilege
II showing ordinary common sense
hat we people in rural Delaware
ometimes feel we are conceited
nough to tell you we have. VIII i
nington may rest assured that rural
Delaware will do its best in this
oming campaign to make its first
itizen take his first rank in the first
ssembly of the world. Delaware
as a chance at this time to do
onor to herself. to do honor to our
alton, and to do honor to the world,
nd the world needs and the nation
eeds business common sense that
ou and I have always seen and al
Ways recognized in phln everyday
ural citizenship as exemplified in T.
coleman DUPONT.
''The two great things in Amer
can civilization today are transpor-
alton and improved methods OF
transportation and education. and in
hese today Delaware leads in her
improved highway. which is her
natural and logical position in any
hing she attempts. The name OF
uPont has called Delaware to lead
gain, and I bring to you from the
ills OF Pencader, Mill Creek and
White Clay the message that we
hall recognize common sense, and
Il that we ask Is that Wilmington
1rnish Its equal"

Mayor Leroy Harvey asked the
rivilege of saying a few words "I
ssure you on election day. Will
iington will be heard from in sup
ort of her own citizen" the Mayor
i'd. Delaware will send Coleman

couldn't she? Wilmington will give
