upon our public policies. 1t seems
to me that the wOman's role is more
important than ever in these times.
If we are to right the things that
are wrong, raise the standards of
public life and insure good govern
ment.
In my short experience in public
life as your Representative in Con-
gress, l have been greatly encour-
aged in my optimism for the future
by the predominance of patriotism
eXemplified in industry, agricul-
ture, labor and other phases Of our
state and national life. The strength
OF our state and well-being of our
communities come from the hearts
and minds of all the people, work
| ing together under our great free
American system of government.
With this in mind, l assure you
that / welcome the opportunity to
serve my fellow citizens of Della
ware as a full-time Governor, de-
voted with undivided attention to
the accomplishments of the things
we need to make Delaware an
eYer-eOntinuing better place in
which to live.
have been taking up our Re
publican program for a better Del
aware before the various meetings
which have been attending
throughout the state, and while |
nave covered many subjects from
education, highways, health, civil
service, and a sound prosperity.
do want to take this opportunity.
| if / may. to express my interest
in and my pledge of full support
of programs of accident prevention
and safety improvements for all
the people of our state. This is a
very important phase of our life.
and there are many fine Organiza-
tions whose efforts are devoted to
far-sighted programs to prevent
incidents and accidents which might
result in physical harm, loss of life
and property damage.
/ want to compliment the Della
ware Safety Council, the volunteer
firemen and many of the ladies' or
ganizations for giving time and
attention to the importance of safe
ty education in the home. in the
school, on the farm, in the factory.
on the highways, and, yes, even at
play, in our recreatiOnal periods.
There is a great saving of our hui
man resources. as well as of prop
erty, by the continuance of an ef-
fective and eVer-imprOving safety
program for the benefit Of our peo-
pie. l want to encourage such a
program in every way possible. CO.
operate and work with all those
who help year-rOund to carry out
an educational program in this i'm
pOrtant field.
Especially must we give atten-
ton to the protection of our chill
dren, prevent accidents to them.
save their lives and help them to
grow and become well trained. use
ful, happy and prosperous citizens.
1t is my hope that Delaware may
always strive to maintain first place
in all phases of its safety program.
This brings me to the thought of
volunteers. In this campaign have
noticed with great announcement
and pleasure the number of volun-
teer citizens taking an active part
in behalf of a Republican victory.
Older folks, young folks, men and
women, are volunteering to help
/ bring to our nation and our state
the type of efficient and economical
administration of our government
which is so important to sound and
continuous progress of our state
and nation and all of our people.
George Washington and his vol
unteers fought an uphill battle
against paid professionals and he
won a victory that brought us in
dependence, that gave us freedom,
and which has provided the lead
ership for free peoples the world
over. / am confident that the vol
unteer enthusiasm, work and sup
port which our Republican program
is receiving will result in a victory
for the people and for better gov
ernment in Washington and in Del
aware.
May I thank you, each and every
one, for all that you are doing, and
to assure you that all of the can
didates on the Republican ticket
are most grateful and recognize
that only through your help and
enthusiastic support is it possible
to meet successfully the oppOrtun-
ity and challenge which is before
us in this campaign.
Thank you again. and continued
best wishes in all the wonderful
work you are doing.
