DARK HORSE’ MAY'
'WIN GOP RACE
REPUBLICAN LEADERS LOOK FOR
PRACTICAL BUSINESS MAN
TO HEAD TICKET A
COLEMAN DU PONT NAMED
AS LIKELY CANDIDATE
Delaware Man Haa 8plendid Reputa-
tion aa a Self-Made Leader In
Constructive Builneae
With the Republican convention on-
ly a scant twelve weeks away the
most popular topic of conversation In
political circles these dayg concerns
the O O P’s choice of a candidate
to run against Wilson
The Republicans will probably go
back to old principles and look for a
candidate wbo will command the sup-
port of the same army of voters who
elected McKinley when a wave of
patriotic common sense swept the
country and business men by' the
hundreds of thousands marched the
streets demanding a practical govern-
ment It Is interesting to note that
the name of General Coleman du Pont
of Delaware has been repeatedly men-
tioned recently as the man eminently
qualified for the nomination To those
who look upon the government as
a big business concern demanding
the supervision of a trained business
man tbe name of General du Pont car-
ries a strong appeal for there Is no
man more qualified to handle the big
problems of today than this same self-
made leader in constructive business
Moreover both the public and private
record of General du Pont will stand
up well under the searchlight of po-
litical opposition
GENERAL COLEMAN DU PONT
Coleman du Pont was born in Kerk
tucky and started his working life in
the mines of the Blue Grass State He
stands today as one of the few suc-
cessful men who have acquired their
positions by methods that will stand
scrutiny He has been a producer—
not a stock Jobber He has never an-
tagonized any class of people Capital
and Labor alike admire him
Without self-advertisement he does
more charity than do most men He is
an ardent advocate of good roads and
believes that a really perfect system
of highways will enhance the farmer's
Income and reduce the cost of living
to the cities He has built roads and
given them to his state always with a
sound business scheme to perpetuate
them and save them from being a
burden to the taxpayers
He comes from a family more Amer-
ican than most — a family identified
with the building of the nation since
the Revolution His grandfather was
Thomas Jefferson’s most valued per-
sonal friend and advisor In the time
of great need during the dark days
of the Republic
The great Powder Company with
which he was formerly identified has
supplied our government with all Its
powder at a price always named by
our government officials themselves
and never by the company
Because of hlB great executive abil-
ity and high standing in the business
worhl some of the shrewdest po-
litical minds In the country consider
him as being one of the most likely
dark horses’’ for the Republican
nomination They point to the fact
that his success in life would elimin-
ate any need for a friendly Colonel
House or any other financial Influence
standing ever behind the presidential
chair Nor would he be compelled to
take orders from any man or group of
men
Another factor that the supporters of
General du Pont are pointing to is his
knowledge of military affairs For
sixteen years he haB been identified
with the soldiery of his state and Is
thoroughly alive to the necessity for
preparedness He has also had
practical training In politics hav-
ing been a delegate to a number of
State and National conventions and
serving as a member of the Republican
National committee for many years
It Is the splendid business training
of General du Pont that Is pointing
the way for him to the non
Inatlon For It Is conceded on all
sides that the biggest problems of this
country at the close of the European
war will be business problems and
there are few men among those men-
tioned who have had his experience
In coping with such huge problems
As a manager of constructive busi-
ness and as a -reorganizer Coleman
du Pont stands In a class by himself
