Former Judge Gray Makes Presenta-

In his speech presenting General
dupont with the elaborate silver
plaque on behalf of the people Of the
state, said:
"Mr. Chief Justice, Ladies and Cen
tlemen: | esteem it a privilege and a
pleasure to be permitted to voice IN
some measure the appreciation and
gratitude of the citizens Of Delaware
for the noble gift which you, Mr. du-
Pont, this day have formally bestow-
ed upon the people of this common
wealth,-a gift so costly and so bene-
ficent that its enduring value can
hardly be exaggerated.
"In your desire to render to the
state and its people a great service,
YOU could not have chosen one that
would have promoted the public well
fare to so great an extent, as the
building of this magnificent highway.
The building of roads has long been
recognized as one of the most impor-
tant features of progress. 1t is a
token of advancing civilization. This
great highway is something more

PRESIDENTS REPRESENTATIVE
Secretary of Labor Davis Sees Link
of Love in Gift

The Hon. James J. Davis, of Wash
ington, Secretary Of Labor in the
Coolidge administration, in the course
of his speech said:
''It is with profound satisfaction
that | am here, on the invitation Of
ware, to witness the formal presenta-
tiOn of this magnificent stretch of
road to the State. This one hundred
miles of improved roadway can be
depended upon to perform great
service not for today alone, but for
the future as well. This ribbon of

operation and prosperity, for many
years to come.
From the beginning of mankind,
roads have proved one of the great
est forces for the advancement of
human civilization. Through trans
portation and communication man
kind has moved forward steadily,
politically, economically and socially.
For in all ages isolation has meant
ignorance, and ignorance is the great
bar to progress. Every mile of road
constructed, adds just that much to
the facility with which individuals
and communities can communicate
and cooperate with each other, and
makes for that prosperity and pro-
gress which only joint action can
bring.
Improved transportation, in any
direction, is to the advantage of all.
The producer benefits by reason of
the increased marketing facilities
which better transportation affords.
The consumer benefits because each
transportation improvement brings
closer to him the things that he must
buy. That America is realizing the
importance of good roads as a matter
of general welfare may be judged by
the fact that within the last few
years the Federal Congress has ap-
propriated S75,OOO,OOO to aid the
States in their progress of road de-
: velopment.

appreciation to my friends l will
renew to them my determination to
continue an honest and efficient
service to the very best of my ability
1--WE have passed through what |
believe to have been a campaign OF
the mos reachery and personal
abuse that l have ever experienced
in any of my campaigns since / en-
tered public life, and while | have
been overwhelming indicated of
all this abuse, feel confident that
the verdict of the people will do
much 20 stop irresponsible vilifica-
ton of public officials by men who
are willing to assassinate a mans
character in their greed for office.
Let us hope that in future men who
a.. .1ire to public office will be will
ing to place their campaign on high
ground and leave off personalities
and mud-slinging.

who made our victory for us, and did
SO by standing for conscientious
service in behalf of their state, | am
deeply grateful and shall, through
the remaining years of my life, be
ever conscious of my appreciation
to them. | do not take this victory
as a personal one by any means, but
am conscious of the fact that it was
one in behalf of clean government
and faithful administration.
'Words fail me to fully express my
thanks to the recent investigating

HARDWICk ISSUES
STATEMENT ON RACE
FOR SENATE SEAT

Thomas w. Hardwick, former gov
ernor and former senator, issued
statement Friday commenting on
the results of Wednesdays primary
in which he was defeated by Sena-
tor William J. Harris for the Demo
cratic nomination for United States
senator. He thanked his support
ers.
Statements also were issued Fri.
day by Fort j.. Land, successful
candidate for the nomination for
state school superintendent, and by
George +. Hunnicutt, who was de-
feated by j. j. Brown for the nomi.
nation for state commissioner of
agriculture.
Mr.. Hardwick's statement follows;
without bitterness and without
complaint [ accept the result at the
ballot box. When the vote is Off
cially tabulated, it will be found
that I have carried good many
more counties than the early returns
have credited me with 1t will also
be found that the vote is surpris
ingly lgiht, one of the smallest in
the history of Georgia primary cleo
tons.
'In view of the latter, l am not
| surprised at the result, for [ did not
! hope to win unless there was a rea
sOnably full vote in the rural sec
| tons as we'll as in the cities ana
in the towns.
Ito the thousands of men and
women throughout Georgia who gave
| me their generous and loyal support.
l am profoundly grateful. I appre-
ciate their friendship and confidence
| more than / can tell them. 1 am
just as grateful to them, and to each
of them, as L could have been if we
had won a sweeping victory. Pos
sibly more so. l shall always cherish
! their friendship and confidence as
the most valuable of my possessions
Just a word of cheer and COM
fort to them: The battle that we
fought on Wednesday had to be
fought, regardless of results Wheo
the fundamental principles are in.
VolVed, defeat is endurable. but sur
render is unthipkable. I have lost
another fight. temporarily, but our
final triumph is certain, and the bat
tie for it will never end until it is
won. The principles for which we
stand are both fundamental and in
destructible. They constitute the
basis of all real democracy and of
all true Americanism Their ulti-
mate triumph is as certain as the
continued life of free government. -
