CONTINUED from First Page)
The following resolution, whic
was introduced and read by Sena
tor-elect Yerkers, was unanimOusl
Whereas the Republican Par
ty of Delaware has publicly
pledged itself to use every effort
to support and maintain a home
front worthy in all respects of
the magnificent struggle being
waged in our behalf by the arm
ed forces of our country and
our Allies in every quarter of
the world, and
Whereas the compelling ne
cessities of the times, as well
as the requirement of good gov
ernment, demand that the leg
islative business of the State of
Delaware be transacted with
efficiency and dispatch to the
end that each citizen of the
state may devote himself whole
heartedly to the successful
prosecution of the present war;
Now, therefore, we, the Re-
publican Senators and Repre-
sentatives, duly elected to rep
resent the citizens of Delaware
at the 109th General Assembly,
do pledge ourselves that we will
devote our entire energies to
the strengthening and ad-
vancement of the war effort in
the state and in the Nation in
order that we may look for
ward to a successful and
speedy termination of the con-
flict;
60-Day Limit Set
We do further pledge our
selves to carry out the spirit of
the constitutional limitation
and to complete our official bus
mess within 60 legislative days;
Realizing that the efficient
conduct of our business re-
quires the employment of
minimum number of assistants,
and that advanced living costs
may demand for such services,
as in all other employment both
public and private, an increas-
ed rate of compensation, but
believing that rigid economy is
demanded by both patriotism
and the principles of proper
government, we have determin-
ed that the necessities of the
Session require maximum of
4S employees to be divided be-
tween the two Houses and to be
paid as we may determine.
