Delaware Republican, resigned the
office of United States Senator from

he has shown himself to be espec-
tally fitted for the office of United
States Senator by his cOnciliatorY
manner and agreeable disposition
which has caused him to be looked
upon as an extremely valuable man
in the Senate in the accomplishment

legislation.
