Three hours the barrage continu

the limit, started at noon. In th'
gold ballroom, and foyer, upstairs il
the duBarry room, out in The Greer
room and even in the main corridor:
the diners were crowded.
Il was the biggest event in the
history of the hotel and, as Gov
ernor Buck said, it was the great
est Republican rally the party had
ever held in Delaware.
Trumpeting elephants, traditional
party symbols, appeared on every
hand-at the dinner places and in
larger editions on the speakers
table. At the far end of the ball
room an heroic-size painting of
Abraham Lincoln looked down on
the throngs. 1t was done by John

Governor Reviews Work
In a speech that many of his
friends declared. the best of his
career, Governor Buck dealt largely
with the intra-State aspects of the
political situation by sharply re-
proving the Democratic activities
during the last session of the State
Legislation, and by reviewing the
administration accomplishments
in that session.

1O5th General Assembly" the Cover

before political expediency and sell
fish interest-the welfare of the cit
izens of our country can be safely
and fully projected. under what we
know and revere as the system OF
government under The constitution
of these United States of America.

cialism and Farleyism."
"The high calibre of men elected
by the Republican party to the last
Delaware Legislature established a

success of the Republican party in
this years coming campaign is in
tensfied by the alarm felt for the
future safety of The Constitution,
and the protection of that form oI
government our fOrefathers estab- /
lished and fought for ourselves ana
our children"
Governor Buck ehowed that the
transfere of county roads to the
state Highway Department, cutting
the property tax in each of the
three counties, meant an actual saw
ing of S75,S75 to the taxpayers ot
Sussex. S6O,243 to the taxpayers Of
Kent and S774,S45 to the taxpayers
of New Castle county |
