DEMOCRATIC JUDGE NDiCIS DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
FUDGE JOHN NJ GAfNlAN Of Wilkes-Barre Pa,
.D recognized for many years one OF the leading and
potential Democrats that section Of the Keystone state
has thrown bomb into the Democratic national organza
lion by comng unreservedy for Senator Harding and
Governor Coolidge, the Republican nominees, and the
things for which they stand in American and international
politics.
Il believe that the welfare Of country demands
ardings election that the welfare of the Democra-
tic party demands that the pirates controlling the
good ship Democracy should be thrown overheard and
weighed by their political sins, be forever submerged in
the deep dark Of oblivion" Judge Garman asserts in
open letter in which he reces several fundamental
why he refuses TO support the Wison-Tammany
Taggart- Cox Roosevelt Democratic ticket
We published in paper yesterday the full text OF the
Gaman letter Il was read by thousands OF Delawareans
and unquestonaby has caused profound sensation here
1t has done in other States.
In brief The reasons which this Pennsylvania Demo-
oat and Judge gives for abandoning his party and lining
up with The Republicans in favor OF Harding fol-
lows:
"First In view OF woodrow Wilson's vigorous at
temps to destroy the independence OF the Senate and to
deprive It OF the power conferred by the Constitution
upon that body with relation TO treaties IL is difficult to
see how any patriotic Democrat could vote for Cox
standing upon a platform which indorses Wilson's
course But some one may ASK why vote for Harding
who surely Is not Democrats The is that the
platform upon which he stands and his addresses show
that he is supporting the Constitution and is safer than
one who openly commends efforts to subver that grand
old document
second i shall vote for Harding because he is in &C
oord with my views to Wilson's crazy revolutionary
creation dubbed The League Of Nations. believe tina

free citizens and that our young men by hundreds Of

be sacrificed In European broils.
