REGULAR ARMY
OFFICERS VISIT NEW
ARK FRIENDS
Carswell Brothers Home for
Reunion Here Last
Week

Captains Robert and S. Randall
Carswell, tigether with their
brother, Lieutenant w. E. Cars
well, Jr., visited the home of their
parents at Elsmere, last night. All
three are in the regular army and
did distinguished service in the
World War.
Captain Randall Carswell, who
is a graduate of Delaware College,
has many friends in Newark. He
made a visit to them and to his
Alma Mater on Thursday and
watched football practice for a
time on Frazer Field. He played
halfback on the Delaware College
teams of 1911-12 and 13. He is a
member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon
Fraternity and met many old
friends while in town. He will
leave today for Leland Stanford
University, California, where he
will take a special course for a
year. The army is sending a num-
Der of officers to various large
universities for special courses.
Captain Carswell is in the in
fantry branch of the service and
was recently stationed at Camp
Pike, Little Rock, Arkansas.
Captain Carswell made a distin-
guished record in France during
the world war. He was sent over
early in the war and was gassed
three times. The first time he was
gassed he was in charge of ma.
chine gun detachment at Belleau
Wood.
: Lieutenant Carswell was also in
Newark. He attended Delaware
College for one term several years
ago and left to enter West Point
from where he was graduated. He
has just returned from service al
Panama, has rendered his resigna
tion from the army, and will &C

| Captain Robert Carswell was OF
active service along the Mexican
border for several years and dur
ing the world war, until sum
moned from there to Washington
to confer with the general stat
about border conditions sometim,
ago. He was an officer in the Del
aware Militia, as was his brother
Randall, before going into th'
regular army, and also was con

There is only one real guide to
the new woman voter in choosing
her party affiliation. That is a
study of the history of the parties
the things they did, the princi- .
Piles they stood for: Careless
thinkers, and careless students of
history, sometimes try to tell this
body Of eager new voters that
there are after all "no funda-
mental differences" between the
two major parties.
We recommend to the new
women voters-and to the old men
voters, quite as earnestly-a study
of the history of the Republican
and the Democratic parties in
this country since, let us say, 1860.
What are the hall marks of the
Democratic Party? We all know
them: A denial Of national unity
in 1861. A states rights policy,
as opposed to strong central
government for years-aye, and
now, for the Estates rights" issue
is not so dead as some would have
us think. Notification. Free
Trade. Reputation of Debts. Un-
sound Money. A policy Of being
"too proud to fight" A policy of
"peace without victory" An i'm
practical League of Nations, senti-
mental rather than statesmanlike,
which by plunging America into
the ordinary politics of Europe
would take away our present free
dom to serve humanity unshackled
by intrigues and alliances.
What are the hall marks of the
Republican Party? Lincoln's
policy of "our Federal union-it
