first treatment is the most impor-
tant. When an efficient antiseptic

man or beast, BorOzone is t h G
ideal antiseptic and healing agent.

THE DEMOCRATIC Administration
protects the southern cotton grower
because the Democratic Congress is
largely composed of southern men
Everything we wear contains cotton.
Stockings, shirts, jumpers, overalls.
sheets, table linen-from head to an
kle joints we are clothed in cotton.
The price has jumped from a little
over six cents to thirty eight, because
the Democratic congress refuses TO
limit the price. The Democratic con-
gress has not refused to limit the
price that might be obtained from the
northern, eastern and western farm
products. Wheat is regulated. and
thereby corn is regulated. The price
OF tomatoes was regulated through
the War Department. Everything a
Delaware farmer raises is either di-
rectly or indirectly controlled in
price but the great southern cotton
crop is let alone. If price-fxing is
all right in Delaware why is it not
right in Alabama? If your profit is
limited, why is not the southern farm
er's profit limited? The Republican
membership in Congress has tried in
vain to remedy this injustice, and thew
nave failed because they have been
out-voted. A Republican congress
will see to it that the Delaware farm
er is given the same chance as is the
southern farmer.

Immediately the Democratic Levy
Court, elected on a platform of econ
omy and lower taxes, raised the tax
rate one third. It is now and has
been for the two years Of the Demo
cratic administration, sixty cents.
Thousands of dollars have been spent
in road machinery. A great deal Of
it has been lying in the open all sum-
mer, rusting and going to ruin. Three
automobiles have been purchased, and
they have now cost US in upkeep and
repairs as much as their original cost.
The County Engineers office, under
the Democratic Levy Court, has cost
the county $500. All last winter an
assistant engineer was kept on the
payroll when no road work was being
done. In two years we have spent
S175,OO000 on roads, and not one mile
OF permanent road has been built. We
in our homes and in our various en-
ployments, are compelled to be saw
ing and careful of money. The war
makes US do this. At a time when |
every man is counting his dollars,
cutting down his expenses, the Levy
Court refuses to save. The interest
Of the taxpayer demands the most
rigid economy in such times as these.
The worst thing possible would be a

WHETHER YOU are a Republican
or a Democrat, you are fair minded,
and you regret that the President of
the United States has been persuaded
TO issue a partisan, political appeal on
the eve of election. If the Republi-
cans in congress had opposed the
President in the conduct of the war,
if they had hampered him in the sup
ply Of men. money and munitions, his
appeal for the election of a Demo-
cratic congress could have been un-
derstoOd. Last spring the President
said Politics is adjourned. And
the country believed him. The Re
publican membership in congress be-
lieved him, and supported him Loyalty
through thick and thin, and saved his
war measures time after time. The
President admits the loyalty of Re
publicans. He cannot deny that 10y
atty. In return for all this loyalty.
we are told by the President that De-
mocratic Senators and Congressman
must be elected, that Republican SEN
atOrs and Congressman must be de-
feated; that he wants no divided
councils, in spite of the fact that ev-
cry allied nation has divided coun- |
ellis. Republicans are told that they |
can fight and die, that they can buy
bonds and give money, but as to the
government of the country they can
lave no share in it. It is just that
lnrighteous principle Of government
hat we are fighting Germany for to-
lay. The Presidents ill-advised and
ncalled for appeal is condemned by
ight-thinking people, regardless Of
olitics, because it is wrong. This
ountry's most vital need is a utiliza-
ion of all the ability of the Nation.

THE REPUBLICAN POSITION


Win the war now. The harder
blows we can strike the sooner the
war will be over. Let nothing be
done to interfere with the prosecution
Of the war TO the limit. Republican
Congressional candidates are pledged
and they will redeem their pledges.
From the time the Lusitania was
sunk by the pirate German submarine
was was inevitable. The Republican
leaders urged, in every possible man
ner, immediate preparation. They
knew and you know now, that imme-
date preparation would have saved
billions of dollars and millions of
priceless lives. The Democratic Par
", in its keen desire to win the cleo
tions Of 1916, faltered and allowed the
opportunity to pass 1t adopted a
campaign slogan, He kept u out of
war" This battle cry appealed to
thousands of voters. They believed
that the President had knowledge
which We did not have. and that he
knew that we would not be called up
on to wage war with Germany.
Now We know better. We know that
We were deceived two years ago. We
know that the Democratic admins
tration, at the time it was crying |
Peace, Peace" when there was no !
peace, realized that war was coming.
It delayed until after election, and in
less than six months, without pre-
Paration, war was declared.
From that moment the Republican
membership in Congress has given
the country an example of loyalty and
patriotism which has never been ap-
preached by minority party. They
have saved the Presidents program
time after time. He has always had
the assurance that he could rely upon
the Republicans in Congress.
Peace is not far of. We should !
set ready for its problems. Repub- s
licans, in Congress and out, foresee S
the tremendous crisis which will con- i
front US. They want to prepare for 2
peace. Four or FIVE millions of men o
are in the army and navy. The most t
OF them will return TO take up their i
former employments. ten millions are g
engaged in war work of various kinds. p
They will be out of employment. The n
business man, the farmer and the p
iaboTing man, their several interests Il
are identical. If there is a business o
panic labor will be out of employ Il
ment, the farmer will not be able to D
sell his produce, hard times, such as Re
we have not seen for years, will be p
upon us. C.
The Democratic administration is a
headed toward free trade. All of the ri
utterances Of the President point that Ii
way. Ell
His words, the removal Of econom- m
&c barriers" is only another way of W
saying Free Trade. We all know h;
what that means. This country will OF
be a dumping ground for foreign "
goods. er
Republicans have insisted that we SO
'end our efforts right now to pre-
ARE for questions and problems Of
uch importance and immensity that Do
hey appall US. Under present condi- tn
ions a Republican Congress is the m,
lost vital, necessary thing that con- DO
