General Coleman dupont, former u.

tional Committeeman from this State.
was unanimously nominated for L. S.

opposed the General at the primaries,
Saturday ascended the platform and
pledged his support to the nominee

Only Woman Nominated Withdraws
With the Senatorship out of the
way, the selection of the other State
offices was but a matter of presenting
the names and declaring the same
elected with the exception of selection
of Lieutenant Governor, when an at
tempt was made to nominate Mrs.
Julia Ashbrook, member of the State
Central Committee, for that Office.
Mr.. Anderson had been nominated by
the Kent County delegation. As Mrs.
AshbrOOk- did not withdraw when her
name was placed before the conven-
ton by Representative Harry G. Lit
tie, there was nothing to do but to
call vote on the two candidates.
The roll call of the Wilmington dele
gates had been concluded when Mrs.
AshbrOOk arose and withdrew her
name. She took occasion to remind
the convention that it evidently was
not women's day in the convention as
none had been named for any offices.
The selection of Anderson was then
made unanimous.
Senator Ball Warns of Third Party
After the nominations had been con-
cluded, United States Senator Ball,
who failed of denomination, was call
ed for and made a strong appeal for
the support of the national and State
tickets and sounded a warning note
of the third-party movement. The
platform adopted pledged faith in the
Constitution of the United States and
loyalty thereto; indorsed the national
platform as adopted at the Cleveland
convention; pledged support to Presi-
dent Coolidge and General Dawes, the
national candidates; commended the
policy of the Republican Administra-
ton with respect to the Dawes repair
alton plans and permanent peace; fav-
ored a permanent Worlds Court of
Justice; opposed any meddling with
political controversies of Europe;
favored protective tariff and restrict
ed immigration; pledged loyal support
to law enforcement; commended ac-
ton of Senator Ball in national af-
fairs and the services rendered by
Governor Denney and other State of
icials in administration of State af-
fairs and commended the State high
way system of Delaware and COM
mended the excellent condition of
State finances.
