weeks / have spent no little time
listening to people who are con-
cerned about the future of the Re-
publican Party. / have found that
the people who have talked to me
have a sustained interest in that
future. / can say that i speak with
out any question for Sussex Coun-
ty when / place in nomination the
name of c. Edward Duffy for chair
man of the Republican State Central
Committee"
Mr.. Duffy was elected immediate
ly. Before he took office and made
his speech of acceptance, Mr.. Kill
loran spoke briefly, saying:
81 thank this committee and for
mer committees for the honor they
have paid me. We have all worked
for the same thing-Republican
principles which have made this
country great. We have been con-
cerned and we still are concerned
about the preservation of these
principles. AS / bid you a fond
adieu | now resign to that oblivion" "
After Mr.. Duffy had made his
speech of acceptance, he said that
he was resigning as member OF
the State Committee of which he
has served as secretary for the past
two years. His place as a member,
but not secretary, was filled by the
nomination of Alfred Smith of the
Brandywine Hundred Republican
Committee. Mr. Smith was nomina-
ted by Ellwood S. Leach, chairman
of the New Castle County Republi-
can Committee.
1t is understood that Mr.. Smith,
who has been a close associate of
Mr.. Duffy's in the organization of
the Brandywine Hundred Republi-
can Committee for the past six
years, will succeed Mr.. Duffy as
chairman.
Rollins Speaks
1t. Gov. John w. Rollins said
that, Il believe that this committee
has made an excellent choice. / be-
lieve that we have an awful lot to
be thankful for in obtaining a
person whom we know to be as out
standing a Republican as Ed Duffy
At the same time, / know we should
be thankful for the fine job turned
in by Jack Killoran during the Pc
riod he has served as chairman.
1--WE are up against different
situation in our Legislature. We
find that the Democratic majority
is interested in rabbits and ripper.

Gratis pass anything that comes

At this point it was announced
that Mrs. Gordan Willis of Dover,
had resigned with regrets as a vice
chairman representing Kent Coun-
ty. In her place, and on the nom
ination by former State Senator

ner meeting ON April IL that rip
per" legislation is neither good gov
eminent nor good politics. Such
advice" said Mr.. Duffy, is sound
and well worth attention" He said
a newspaper report made it clear
that the advice had fallen upon
deaf ears"
The new state chairman next re-
ferred to the charge by State Rep
James H. Snowden (R-Wilming-
in the Legislature was concentra-
ting on bills dealing with rum
racing and rippers," rather than on
their platform. Mr.. Duffy said that
Ebert ~ Carvel, the Democratic
state chairman, called Mr.. Snow
den's statement irresponsible" and
quoted Mr.. Carvel as saying that
this is the most sober. orderly, and
dedicated Legislature with which
have ever been associated" Mr..
Duffy said he did not know about
the sober and orderly qualities, and
added:
'As for the dedication of the
| Democratic majority, / sincerely
agree they are truly dedicated to
any and all legislation that will adj
vance the fortunes of the Democra-
tic Party, whatever might be the
cost to the state. Furthermore, by
Mr.. Carvel's admiration of the con-
duct of his Democratic majority in
the present Legislature, we are CIV
en- good insight into his true
sense of values. This being so, the
conduct of the present Democratic
majority in the General Assembly
represents the height of statesman
ship that we can expect from the
present leadership of the DemOcra-
tic Party
Mr.. Duffy concluded:
Il sincerely promise you here
and now, that / shall work and
fight with every mower at my COM
mand to secure the election of peo-
pie to public office who are dedica-
ted to serve the cause of an orderly,
constitutional form of Government,
and not for the advancement of the
selfish, power drunk interests of a
political party. l shall say further
that l am a Republican because
know that the Republican Party
stands for precisely this philosophy
of politics.

at the very fundamentals of a rep.
resentative form of government.
'Power Drunk Majority
I'VE have seen the power DRUM
Democratic majority in the Genera
Assembly roar their defiance at the
wishes of the people, as we'll as al
long established and duly constitu-
ted forms of government We have
seen the overwhelming Democratic
majority in the House cast into the
discard the wishes of the voters OF
the Tenth Representative District
in Sussex County, expressed al q
legally held election. 1t must be
remembered that in ousting Ray
mond M. Lank they ousted the only
man who possesses a certificate OF
election from the Board of Canvass
of the Superior Court of Sussex
County. His successor, Mr.. Smith
possesses no such certificate of au-
thority On the contrary, the certifi-
cate Of Mr.. Lark, in effect, certifies
the rejection of Mr. Smith by the
voters of that Representative Dis
trict of Sussex County. There can
be no doubt but that the reason for
this ,tyrannical act was to give
their party twenty-seven members
of the House instead of twenty-six
the seat that was necessary to
give them a majority of three
fourths. They accomplished this
high-handed, dictatorial feat by ar
rogating unto Themselves group
of laymen-the power and wisdom
to declare unconstitutional an act
of prior General Assembly"
The new Republican chairman re-
ferred to the system of checks and
balances dividing the powers and
responsibilities" of government into
, the executive, legislative, and judi
cial branches. He as serted:
Until the present irI espOnsible
Democratic majority in tie House,
for selfish political reasons, casts
this constitutional concept of Gov
eminent into oblivion 1t was uni
versally recognized that it was the
function of the Legislature to pass
the laws and that the sole right to
vested in the Judiciary"
Such conduct must, of necessity,
make all citizens pause and indulge
in some rather sober thinking. If
this-what next?"
I'VE have all seen the dedication
of the Democratic majority to So
called ripper legislation In our
form of state government, the same
as in our national government, the
Chief Executive is given the power
to appoint members of the various
boards and commissions. Since a
chief executive is elected on his
platform, he must have the oppOr-
tunity to name people who will be
sympathetic to that platform and
carry out the wishes of the people, ;"
Mr.. Duffy continued.
I'm order to gain political power
and block the Administrations pro-
gram. thus again thwarting the
wishes of the people, the Demo-
cratic majority in the General AS
sembly had introduced bills to rip
out all boards and commissions,
the control of political advantage
to them, and create new boards and
commissions with the members
named by the General Assembly
rather than the Governor.
!. Assembly Deaf To Advice

The Nations Schools, an influen-
tial m a e inc concerned with
school administration, said 98 per
cent of the country's school super
intendents want federal aid for
school construction confined solely
to public schools.
Reporting on the survey, which
took sample opinions from superin-
tendants in each state, the maya
zine asserted that "only two per
cent would include private or
parochial schools in the scheme of
things"
In Philadelphia, Archbishop
John r. o't4ara, c.S.cY urged
careful study of all current pro-
posals for an emergency pro-
gram of federal aid for school
construction.
Citing figures which indicated
that each year nearly 20 per cent
of the population moved from one
house to another, the Archbishop
said this must be taken into ac-
count when new school buildings
are planned.
''The construction of elaborate
school facilities in what may be a
ghost town ten years from now
would later be stigmatized as poor
planning" he warned.
He also said closer study was
needed on the problem of varia-
tions in estimated construction

Z Sisters Dedicate Lives to Poor

Seven nuns who are dedi-
eating their lives to the spirit
ual and material betterment
of society, made life a little
easier last year for 123 per-
sons in metropolitan Colum-
bus.
They are members of the
Dominican Sisters of the Sick
Poor, an order which nurses the
sick and gives food to the poor,
whether they are negro or white,
Protestant or Catholic.
From the Convent of st. Rose of
Lima, 168 E. Lincoln ST., the sisters
travel to all parts of the city each
day to perform such duties as cook
ing, housework, baby care, and
nursing. Their aim is to aid the
family during critical period.
AS an example, up until several
months ago, they made daily visits
to the bedside of a woman (now
deceased) who was in a coma. For
more than four years, they minis
tered to her needs during the day.
Her husband, as a result, was able
to keep his job, and thus bring in
enough money to maintain the
household.
The sisters, incidentally, never
take money for their work. They
help only those who are not able
to pay for nursing service.
The benefits of their service are
not always material. For instance,
their two-year vigil at the bedside
of an elderly woman who broke
her leg bore unexpected results.
Six months after the woman's
death, her son called Sister Clara
Marie, superior at the convent, and
declared:
"If the Catholic Church will do
such work without asking for
pay. then I'm interested in learn
ing more about fhe church"
Later, he became Catholic.
