Hits "EffOrt To Destroy"
Mr.. Vale. who has offices in Phila-
delphia though his home is in Mil
. ford, denounced the effort to de-
story" as being without any war
rant of protest or criticism Of either
the competency or honesty of any
Republican official, county or state,
who has held Office in Delaware in
the last quarter of a century"
He asked: Have those who would
betray LandOn in their desire to de-
feat the state nominees pointed to
one Republican official who has
failed in the diligent discharge of
his duty; have they named one Of (
flee in which there has been even
the suggestion of either dishonesty !
or corruption; have they adverted /
to any act or neglect indicative of |
bad government"
Is it not a fact. he continued
that Delaware during the whole
period OF its government by Re-
publican state and county officials
has been one of the best and most
efficiently managed states in the
uniOn?"
Points TO Tax LeVies
Is it not true. he pursued. that
our state police, our highway. tax.
and every administrative depart l
ment is honestly and economically 4
administered? Are not our high {
ways the best, and our taxes on q
and real property. income,
and estates. the lowest of any Amer
ican state?"
The speaker said he sought Ito 7
contrast the utter unjustifiab blenesB :
and futility of thwaTted selfish am /
bitiOn with the transcendent import
to the future Of America Of the vital I
issue of this campaign"
Can there be in right and rea- n

radicalism to the ideals Of America,
for any Republican in Delaware to >,
be false to the basal principles on !,
which constitutional representative n
democracy is grounded and to the p.
of which the Republi- =,
,an party with LandOn as its leader y
n most sacred promise is now o.
pledged to defend and sustain?" y,
Finally. he inquired. "is one nOmi-
lee on the state ticket unworthy of N,
