Says f. ID. r. Saved Foes

ship Of Roosevelt to get US around
the corner There never was a time
when problem so simple was pre-
sented to the American people. The
very people who now are antagOnis-
tic to President Roosevelt are those
whom he has saved from ruin. The
great body of wage earners recOg-
nize what he has done for them ana
from them will come a wave of votes
that will sweep the present admins
tratiOn back into power.
Chairman Farley has promised |
US he will do all he can to help the |
Democrats of this State during the |
campaign. Delaware is not normally |
a Republican State. The man nomi-
mated for governor here today must
free you and me and also the Re-
publicans of this State"
