of Dictator.
WANTS DEMOCRACY REVIVED

DIR. William f. Hoey. OF Frederick.
chairman of the Democratic State
Committee. has just issued clear
and comprehensive outline of the
Democratic position In the present
campaign which. IL is believed, will
appeal strongly to the voters of Della
ware who may be wavering in their
decision as to which Of the major
parties they shall support at the
election next month. In this state.
ment he says the Democratic party
of the State is asking the voters Of
Delaware to cast their ballots In No
vember for the entire Democratic
ticket that our State may return TO n
Republican form of government and
maintain. not an autocracy or a pluto
cracy, but n real Democracy"
DR.. Hoey's complete statement reads
as follows:
ITO the Voters of the State II Della
ware:
AT the Democratic State Con-
Nention of 1922 ticket was nomi-
mated by the delegates assembled
without the dictation of any man
| VI 6iphp tl iltI. tNN the action
OF that convention a candidate for
United States Senator was pre-
sented to the citizens of Della
ware, who will represent the State
In the Senate OF the United States
with honor to the State and
credit 10 himself.
For representative in congress
our candidate is so we'll known to
All our people, after twenty four
years of faithful and honorable
service as judge in our courts.
mat II Is not necessary 10 discuss
his qualifications. In short all
the candidates are of such Charac-
ter as 10 need no special commen-
uation from any one.
We appeal 10 all the voters OF
the State to consider well the
merits of our cause as compared
with performances OF the party in
, power whose record for extrava-
gance and profiigwcy in the
management of the States affairs
is without parallel in our his
tory. Indeed IL seems TO have be-
come quite the fashion in our
state 10 find more and ever more
need for new offices thereby maxi
Ing new positions for the faithful,
until IL is necessary that no nook
or corner be left unscratched by
way of new taxes to get more coin
TO be dumped into the hopper.
We appeal to all the voters
OF the State 10 begin now 10 rid
the State of the autocratic rule of
single man who. without fear or
: favor, dominates the State. Who
by word of command tells us
who we must send to congress or
who We must have for governor.
Who dictates our legislative action
to very great extent, and tells
US how we may spend our money
= We ask you to vote for men for
e senator and all other offices that
s were nominated in a real conven-
6 ton of delegates from all parts
of the State elected to carry out
., not the dictates OF a man, but the
expressed will of the people of the
State. Men for the national legis-
= lative bodies who stand for a
: tariff policy fair 10 the consumer
p as well as the producer. Men who
d believe our great agricultural and
n manufacturing industries are en-
II titled TO an outlet for their surplus
= stocks in the very best markets
TO be found. Men who do not be-
lieve in the hoodwinking of the
q producer by levying high import
duties on commodities we never i'm
:. port. thus affording an excuse for
= the outrageous burdens OF taxa
s ton laid on the articles OF neces-
# sity TO all the people.
{ In short we ask the voters
n of Delaware to cast their ballots
on November seventh for Bayard.
Boyce and the whole ticket that
our State may return to a Re-
publican form of government and
maintain not an autoCracy or a
l. plutocracy but a real Democracy.
A Democracy in which the citizens
= of the State control their own
J. affairs by the will OF the majority
=. rather than by the will of any
-, single person however capable or
willing he may be-"
