State and county committeeman are
the folks who have the real respOn-
slbility Of electing the Republican
ticket this fall To me this Is the
most important campaign IN the
history OF this nation Because Of
this, I was anxious 20 get the COM
mittees Of the two counties together
to show my own interest.
III we have four more years Of
waste and reckless spending your
children and grandchildren viii have
to pay the bill. We should get out
and work and nominate and elect
the Republican ticket"
Governor Unable TO Attend
Col. Edmund Mitchell, chairman Of
the Republican State Committee,
was unable to attend because Of III
ness.
Senator Townsend read a letter
from Governor C. Douglass Buck,
Republican National Committeeman,
expressing regret at his inability to
attend due to a previous engage
ment. The Senator also read a tele-
gram from Mrs. Frank G. Tallman,
Republican National CommitteeWo-
man, who said she always had
warm spot in her heart for Kent and
Sussex counties. She said i was
only By individual effort on every
ones part that they could keep Del
aware in the Republican column.
Captain Harry V. Lyons Of Lewes,
Sneaker Of the House Of Representa-
tives. introduced by Senator Town
send. said he believed the dinner was
for the purpose of laying plans for
the campaign. He regretted all the
members Of the committees were
not present.
Senator Townsend told Of senti-
ment which he has found for Ian
don IN talking to people as he trav-
els about the country. He said he
asked a taxi driver in Chicago why
he was going to vote for Landon.
The taxi driver replied he was tired
or seeing a man leaning on a shovel
five hours a day and getting more
money than he did.
Senator Townsend introduced Mrs.
Lena Messick, Of Bridgeyiile, who
told 81 I.andon sentiment she found
on The Eastern shore Of Maryland,
senator Townsend said he had
been asked whom he favors for gov
ernor. He said the men be Is behind
for governor, senator. congressman,
care the men the Republicans will
nominate at the convention In Au-
gust. And let us go out and fight for
them. he said.
Charles Hanratty, one Of the few
Kent county members present, ex-
pressed hope there would be no dis
sension in the Republican ranks, and
assured Senator Townsend he would
strive for Republican victory.
Hastings Landed
In introducing Senator Hastings,
Senator Townsend said they have
worked together perfectly in the
Senate. He said Il will be q long ]
time before Delaware again has a
man In the Senate who represents
the State more ably than has Sem
ator Hastings. He termed him able
and fearless and expressed the wish
the party had him on the ticket this
year.
Corroborating Senator Townsend
on their working together, Senator
said not many states have
senator's who are as united as Dels-
wares. He said some senator's from
the same states do not even speak
10 each other.
MANY times we have found SHs- \
sex county raising all the hell i
could" declared Senator Hastings,
.and this seems to still hold goo0
because you cannot even have
little dinner down in Rehoboth with
but raising hell But they viii get
over it and they will feel ashamed
lf themselves afterwards. The Re-
publican Party always rubs out the |
black spots. (
Il remember when the Roosevelt I
was high and the Re-
,nblican thermometer was below ,
reezing point, how anxious we all I
we're then. Now the Republican Z
has gone up and every I
me seems to be cockey and feel that
Vi viii win without a struggle.
aThey are thinking only Of their /
nominees. They had better forget 4
bat attitude. We have got too much /
,ter-conadence IN Delaware. We I
ant depend on that cockey crowd. 4
'hey are not the fellows who get q
nt and do the dirty work.
.iThe men and women who do get
Iut the vote are the important mem- !,
ers OF the party, more important !
han those who hold the bic Jobs. \
now L am talking to people who 4
now what do to and how to make ! !
olitics a success. I propose to 90 Z
lst as / have done IN the past 20 I, !,
ee TO 1t that we nominate the best Z
eopIe and then elect them
TO Fight New Deal F."
because SIN not to be a candi- Il
ate. l do not want anyone 10 think y
.at am going 70 let up In my /
eht on the New Deal. Thousands 4
Democrats are going 10 support n
q Republican candidate and oppose a
ie New Deal These are serious "
mes. No one doubts that anyone 9,
10 heard Iandon's acceptance \,
,eech can doubt the Republicans
ave picked the best man for this II
lrticuiar job. h,
