''Nhen the railroads are returned 10

hoped 20 gain a victory that would
be the start of nationwide revolt
against bonedryness. William Jen-
nings Bryan was the chief munition
maker for the "drys" lie has made
a few speeches IN the prohibition
campaign In Kentucky.
Democrats made an issue OF treaty
ratification in Kentucky, where the
naht centered on the gOyernorship.
Democratic candidates demanded un-
qualified endorsement Of the pact.
Prohibition also was an indirect
issue in New Jersey, the Republican
candidate for governor being pledged
20 uphold the Federal constitutional
amendment, while his Democratic
opponent was comml ted 20 making
every legal effort TO block enforce
ment. National politicians professed
10 see In the New Jersey vote an
Indication OF the public's attitude
toward the Federal administration.
Woman suffrage was another issue
In New Jersey, but apparently was
overshadowed by other propositions.
The gubernatorial campaign In Mas

sibIe test OF the strength OF the
union, the trade unions having asked

Gov. Cox, OF Ohio, probably will have
HIS State delegation with him when the

SCHUOL CODE Toes
TRY Meeting GRAB
lConIlnuod From Pase On..


Farm Bureau meeting and have a school
code barbecue2" they asked, and they
started out TO try 10 seize that meet
ing
Posters were put up all over The
county advertising a public meeting IN
the court house at ? o'clock today, at
which prominent speakers would
state objections to the school code. In
small type there appeared an announce
ment that anyone desiring 10 speak in
behalf OF the code would be given a
hearing.
County Agent Vaughn was surpr s.
ed TO find the school code meeting ad-
yerlised for the same time and place
that thc Farm Bureau meeting had pre-
empted two months before. so he ap-
penred before tie Levy Court to in
quire whether Tie Farm Bureau or the
school code opponents were to have
the use OF the court room this after
noon. The Levy Courtmen Informed
him that the Farm Bureau was the
only body that had asked for permis-
5 on to use the court room this after
noon. that the Farm Bureau could use
10 and nobody else had been given per
mission 10 use IT, The Levy Courimen
suggested that Agent Vaughn make
written application, which he did and
the Levy Court formally granted per-
mission for use OF the court room from
i30 to 4 O'Clock, which appears on the
records.
"lf tie school code opponents or ad-
vocates use ihe Farm Bureau audience,
they will have TO do so after o'clock -
said County Agent Vaughn this MORN
ing. Understand me, I'm not taking
any part in this school code coniro-
versy one way or the other. Our meet
ing is strictly q farm bureau meeting.
Afier we get through our business,
don't care what they do in the court
room"
Last night former Senator W F.
Blackstone called on Agent Nauhgn and
said the school code opponents would
like 10 share todays meeting with the
Farm Bureau Were going to hire a
band and you'll get the benefit Of our
crowd" Blackstone said in effect Agent
Vaughn. however, was firm in insisting
that the meeting be confined to Farm
Bureau topics.
! Opponents OF The school code had not
given up hope at noon OF trying 60
force consideration OF the school code
and turn the meeting into an opposi-
ton to that progressive law. Opponents
Of school and educational reform are
becoming greatly concerned over the
dying out Of opposition 70 the new
school law.
Residents OF Sussex county are find-
ing that the school code hasn't bitten
them and given them hydrophobia' Is
the way one man expressed the situa-
ton today. The school code oppon-
ents thought they were going to stage
a barbecue OF the school code today
and are disappointed because no advo-
Gates Of the code are coming down
from Wilmington 10 furnish them raw
meat for that barbecue"
Il was said today that politician op-
moments Of the school code tried TO gel
Rober. C. Harman 20 come down from
Wilmington 10 speak against the code
but he declined 10 do so.
