Page Six The Story of Our States By JONATHAN BRACE I— DELAWARE TO DBLD> ™ 1 VV A It B fulls the honor of being the first of the originul thir teen states. December 7, 1787, It otUciully adopted the Con stitution und thus wus made a beginning of our present Federal government. According to the seventh article of the C onstitu tion, however, It was necessary for nine states to ratify It before It actually came into force. So It was not until tlie following June, by which time eight other stales had accepted the Consti tution, that the United S tates of America uctually came into be ing. * * The early history of D elaw are was a varied one. It sturted in 1638 when a small p a rty of Swedes settled a t tlie mouth of the Delawure river and called it New Sweden. In 1055, P e te r Stuyvesunt, t ht» governor of the Dutch colony of New N ether lands, annexed th is territory. But it did not long rem ain Dutch, for in 1004 t lie English took possession. When Pennsylvania was deeded to William Penn he desired access to the seuconst and at ids urgent request Dela w are was tran sferred to P enn’s proprietorship. From the be ginning of the eighteenth cen tury, however, Delaware had its separate legislature, and a t the time of the Revolution it be came an independent state. Delaware Is next to the small est of our states, having an area of only 2,570 square miles. Its participation In presidential elec tions Is limited to three electors. Tills Is arranged according to population. Each state is entitled to the same num ber of presiden tial electors as It has members of congress, so the influence of the different s tates in voting for the President varies from Dela w are’s three electors to New York’s 45. As to the derivation of the inline Delaware, this was appro priately given to tlie state from the river, which ip turn w«s named afte r the bay and the bay was called D elaw are in honor of l.ord Delaware, win» was gover nor of the Virginia colony In 1610.
