Delaware Little, But
Turning to Colonel Knox, he said: {:
LAS little as Delaware is, II can
raise as much h as any state in
the union. Don't you be disturbed
about our three electoral votes.
There's only one chance in a thou
sand they'll be necessary but we're
not going to take any chances"
Senator Hastings said that he per-
sonally takes pride in the paTty,s
candidate for President.
He's honest from beginning to
end" he said. 81 don't care II he
can't sing beautifully on the radio
and uses just plain Kansas talk.
The important thing is that he
knows what he's talking about and
will try to do what he says. He
wants the help of the American
people to get the job done.
Colonel Cannon's address was In
terrupted a dozen times by applause
from the audience.
Cannon Fears More Spending

more extravagant New Deal meas

81 shudder to think" he said,
where the country will be. with
bigger New Deals. When we were
promised a reduction Of Is per cent
in governmental expenditures and
were handed, within four years, an
added indebtedness Of $13,000,000,-
900, and when the leader of the
brain trust writes that the New Deal
has not spent too much, but failed
to spend enough, what can we ex-
pect with bigger New Deals?"
After assuring Colonel Knox that
Delaware will be in the Republican |
column on election day. the gtber- !
Material candidate lauded the State
administration headed by Governor
Buck.
"Delawareans," he said, must be
awake and appreciate the splendid
condition of our State, brought about
under Republican administrations
guided during the past eight years
by our efficient, economical, absO-
lUtely honest Governor c. Douglass
Buck.
Cites States Debt Cut
He pointed TO the facts that the
States debt has been reduced by So
900. 900, that interest charges have
been greatly reduced and that reduc-
tiOns have been put in effect on the
cost of automobile operators IL
censes and automobile registration,
while property has been freed OF
considerable taxes.
"As bad as the New Deal is today"
he continued, with its broken prom
ises, its COmmunistic brain trust, its
un-American method of issuing ex-
ecutive orders in place Of Congress-
iopal laws, it's orgy Of waste and ex-
bad as all this is, we
are promised, and know this prom
Use will be kept, that If the New Deal
should be returned to power, we will
be given bigger and more New Deal
ers."
He urged the reelection Of Con-
Stewart and Of Senator
