"The Republican Party of tn
State of Delaware, through dul
elected delegates to State COnven
tiOn, assembled at Dover on Septem
ber IL, 1928, reaffirms its devotion
to the Constitution of the Unite,
States and renews its faith in tn
principle of the American system o
representative government.
'In furtherance of this declara
tion, we pledge our steadfast allegi
ance to the National Republican
Party and its platform as annuncia
ted by the convention held at Kan
sas City, Missouri
National Administration
Our historic party, noted for its
achievements, has probably never
submitted to the American people a
greater record of constructive action
than presented by the administra-
ton of Calvin Coolidge. This re-
markable record reflects a type of
political leadership rarely expert
enced in this or any other country
and justifies the confidence of the
EAAAGA ANeln pCOpAC uOW ACBOoCu III II
and assures their renewed support.
In the execution OF the great emer-
gency actions of this Administra-
tiOn a vital and intimate part has
been taken by the Secretary of Com
merce, Herbert Hoover, a never
failing supporter of the President
in all his constructive designs.

''That the constructive policies of
a Republican Administration shall
control this nation, Hon. Herbert
Hoover has been nominated for the
office of President of the United
States and Hon. Charles Curtis has
been nominated for the office of
Vice-President of the United States.
To these nominees of the Republi-
can Party we pledge our loyal and
energetic support and express the
belief that a large majority of the
citizens of Delaware have confidence
in their ability to lead this great
republic to widespread opportuni-
ties and greater hopes-a better and
finer America.
NaIlOnal Representatives

rendered by our party representa-
tives in the national legislative body |

measures. The accom-
plishments of Senator Coleman du- |

fully appreciate.
Prosperity
"By the establishment and main
of high level Of wages and
standard of living, which insures
he maximum prosperity of all the
people, the soundness of Republican
policies has contributed nightly to
he general welfare. That the con-
inuance of these policies is a guar
.ntee of prosperity and cOntentment
nd a reliable warranty of greater I
omfort and leisure, is our faith.
Tariff
Our belief in the protective tar
# as a fundamental and essential
rinciple of the economic life of
his nation is steadfast. Adherence
D that principle is necessary for the q
7elfare and progress of the country
nd tinkering with protective tar
f laws by those opposed to this
rinciple will result in business dis
ster and distress. Where q revis- =,
IN of tariff schedules is advisable, u
