lNEFFIclENcY OF
REPUBLICANS IS
FLAYED BY BAYARD
Continued from page

A feature of the meeting was the
large percentage of women in at
tendance, fully one-half OF the audi
tors being members Of the fair sex.
TO them Mr. Bayard addressed his re-
marks. especially in an appeal for
them to get registered and to vote as
their good Judgment indicates and he
felt sure their conscience would not
permit them to vote anything but the
Democratic ticket. He declared the
sensible women OF the state must
register and vote or their effective
ness is lost by the preponderance OF
votes Of the non-thinking suffragists.
Republican Promises Broken.
Mr.. Bayard called attention to the
glowing promises the Republicans
made to the voters Of the county and
stated that since March 1919 that
party has been In complete control OF
Congress and all legislation. They
had within their power the oppor-
tunity TO pass the vital constructive
legislation so necessary to stabilize
condition following the great war and
to carry out the safe and sane pro-
gram inaugurated during the closing
days of President Wilson's admins
tration, but they had fallen down Ia
mentally on this job and since March
1921 the only piece OF legislation they
have given the nation is the tariff
bill. He then went to work on it.
showing how it has placed a great
burden upon the people of the country
and throttles out business relations
with the other nations of the world.
which business is so essential to the
success and welfare of our own in
dustries He also touched upon con-
ditions right here IN Delaware and
sroke of the heavy taxes the peo-
pie Of this state have to pay TO sup
port the elaborate and costly ma
chinery of government set up by the
Republicans with their numerous
commissions, boards and newly Gre
ated offices.
Tonight Mr.. Bayard will speak al
a meeting in Georgetown. Next week
will be candidates week in SUSSEX

LABOR LEADER FOUND
GERMANY GOING STRONG
No Unemployed and People Are
Less Poverty Punched Than
British Workers.
~ Associated PRESS to Every Evening

London. Oc.. Thomas Kennedy,
labor member OF Parliament, visited
Germany recently TO learn something
of the conditions Of the working clase-
ee there. He tells in JUSTICE what
most impressed him. and he makes
some interesting comparisons between
German and British workers.
There are no unemployed in Ger
many" Mr.. Kennedy writes. There
are gloomy forebodings Of what the
next six months may bring TO the
German workers but 80 far the Ger
man people have escaped the war
nlsorios and uncertainties that are
our lot here. The differences and d.
visions between skilled and unsleilled
workers are much less pronounced in
Germany than in Britain. At the
time of my visit. when the rate Of
exchange was anything between 1000
and 5000 marke to the pound. the
| average wage was in the neighborhood
OF 40 marks an hour.
at would be foolish Of course. to
suggest that there ia no poverty In
Germany / was told by those who
are IN close touch with the life Of the
! German worker that the general
standard Of comfort is lower today
