suits and thts fact should Be brought
to the attention Of tho Democracy OF
the country.
Hero in Delaware. ne said. the
people have been taxed heavily and
while all must bear their burdens in
proportion, II becomes dangerous,
thing when the burden becomes too
heavy. He rites the action OF Re-
publican members OF the last legis-
lature when they ignored the ex-
pressed will OF the people and he said
such government as this cannot be
trusted. He said they must first de-
termine what are the right things and
then work hard for them.
On the question OF patronage Mr.,
Isaacs first decried rabld factional-
ism and luke warm democracy and
hyphenated members He suggested
that the committee adopt resolution
that II be tho sense of the members
that the committee should have the
right to recommend In the question
of appointments and went on to show
how this would work TO the advantage
of the party, the candidate and the
man making the appointment. How
ever. the other members OF the party.
while speaking favorably of the plan,
thought this matter should be allowed
to go over for the present.
Mr.. isaacs urged n better working
organization for the party in the
state and said they have been too
modest in the past. He favored a
publicity committee TO let the people
know what they are doing; finance
committee to look after their funds
and endcavor TO increase the treasury
lrcceinpts. that they would not be handi-
capped in their work, and n legisla-
tive committee TO prepare n program
for presentation at, the next session
of the Legislature. He was later
authorized 10 name all three of thes,
committees to consider the subject
indicated by each and report at ths
next meeting. All the members favor.
ed this plan of operation.
Chairman lsaacs will arrange with
Andrew G. Gray, member OF th,
National Committee. for luncheon n
the Hotel du pont early in Januar,
when MIR. Gray will have the Stat,
meet Cordrey Hull, chairman OF th'
National Democratic Committee, wh'
will be brought here by Mr.. Gray fo
that purpose. In the evening of tina

Attorney General Palmer.
Both Senators Hall and du Pont
give as chief renson fer their oppo-
sition to this bill that they do not want
TO deprive the doctors OF their right
to prescribe what they choose for the
sick. That reason sounds plausible,
hut there are Mt least three fncts that
our Senators should have been nc
quaInted with and no doubt they were:
81. Thirty seven states In the Union
have passed laws prohibiting the uso
Of beer as medicine. Delaware is one
OF the states that by solemn act OF
lts Legislature has outlawcd beer and
wine az medicines Surely Senators
Ball and du Pont were acquainted with
this fact. In only II of the ~ states
could beer have been used az medicine
il the Senate had not prohibited It.
How strong tho sentiment in our
National Congress In favor OF this bill
liz, appears In the great maioritles for
II In both Houses. These states would
not have outlawed these beverages M
medicines had they not been convinced
that to legallze them would produce

might possibly be derived from them.

able physicians in this country were
