increase in government personnel
and expense. He cited what he term
ed the administration failure to
keep its oath to support the COnsti-
tuition Of the United States and said
the nation wants a government of
laws not of men.
Offers Remedy
Mr.. Duffy said when the New Deal
is criticised the question is asked
what the Republicans propose as a
remedy. Il can only say" Mr.. Duffy
stated, that my own judgment is
that:
81. It will advocate the return to
Constitutional form of govern
ment.
20. It will insist that the rights of
the states under the Constitution be
preserved.
"3. It will insist upon a return to
sound currency. and condemn the
authority given to the President to
issue printing press money.
"a. It will insist upon economy in
government and condemn the use of
federal Jobs and federal money for
political purposes.
IS. It will insist that relief is nee
essary where real distress is pres |
ent, but that it can be more econo-
mically and efficiently managed,
both from the standpoint of the
State and the recipient, through
State agencies.
"6. 1t will take the government
out of all forms of business.
~. It will adopt such policies as
will restore business confidence and
open the doors of the business con-
Germs to the 12,5OOO,OO0 now out of a
Job.
"S. II will provide for a system Of
and economy that will en-
lble the budget to be balanced, and
will do this by adopting a courage
,us plan fair to all classes of our
,itizens. :
These suggestions are general in
character but in my judgment they
approach what the great mass OF the I
,Oters is demanding today.
II am convinced" Mr.. Duffy con-
luded, that we shall reject the I
lien path and cOnsecrate ourselves 8
new in devotion to our time-tried ,
american institutions" $
Governor Gets Ovation
While Mr.. Duffy was speaking ,
Governor Buck came into the the !
tire by a doorway leading to the !
latform. Mr.. Duffy stopped talk {
lg and everyone in the theatre G
rose and applauded as Governor [
luck took a seat on the stage. He !
regret at his having in
errupted the keynote speech, but
lr. Duffy told him he was glad he
ad interrupted it by his attendance.
After the applause which greeted
ne keynote address had subsided
Ir. Herring submitted the report of c
ne committee on resolutions which S
as adopted and which he read as i
ne platform of the convention. 1t i
1llowed closely the high lights of
lr. Duffy's speech and its recon- d
and pledges were almost =
lentical with the principal which
he convention chairman had set !.
nth in his address. n
Chairman Duffy introduced Rep Il
sentative J. George Stewart who Il
as the only member of the Con- "
ressiOnal delegation able to attend Il
le convention. Mr.. Stewart said I
e Democrats would not be the real t
,ponents in the election this year. Il
be real enemy, he said. was the a
CUP of prOpagandists in Washing m
n who do not have the best inter
Is of the government at heart and n
hose chief aim he is convinced is G
e overthrow of this government.
THE time has arrived" Mr.. Stew rt
t said, for the party in our State Ii
d in the nation to harmOniOusly III
ganize to combat the actions of ia
is most insidiOus group who have 81
their ultimate purpose the COM
etc destruction of our form of fr
vernment" He said this group is cd
eking to continue unrest in the of
lited States in the interests of ed
: Commmunistic Party. He said
: intelligent people of this cOun- u
are realizing that it will take
lch hard work to undo what has
an done. He said many of the
lntry's ideals have been ruined on
4 many people have been fooled, III
,ecially the farmers and laboTers. III
said there are able and con- WI
entiOus men i'm the administra- 4
n hut he sometimes wonders if it'
y. too, have not been fooled or IL
by or made victims of le;
insidiOus propaganda which is 20
ng used.
layOr Walter w. Bacon, of Will wa
lgtOn, told the delegates that the al'
lvention opened the most impOr- en-
[ campaign in the history of the uT u
publican party in this State. He 49,

ed a complete registration of all ,',l %u
ty voters. He termed Delaware 'i'
