A CAMPAIGN OF MISREPRESENTATION

One is the statement that American farmers due to
economic conditions in Europe, have lost their foreign

Will Confuse Situation

If Short deserts Ball it will result il
a peculiar situation. Senator Ball ha
been counting on Alfred l., to delive
to him the support of all the forme
Alfred 1. men. In fact, it is said tha
Mr.. du POnt virtually promised this
1t is known that Mr.. du Pont feels un
der great obligation to Senator Ball
After the United States Supreme Cour
decided that Mr.. du Pont must pay
more than S1,000,O0O Federal income
taxes, which he contested, the Treas
ury Department added interest
amounting to more than 100000, tC
the original bill. Mr.. du Pont did moi
think that he was treated fairly, as he
did not default in payment, but simply
awaited a decision of the court as to
the legality Of the tax before paying
the bill. The Government thought
otherwise. Senator Ball was called in
by Mr.. du POnt and succeeded in con-
v1ncing the department of the injus-
tice of the levy. He saved Mr.. du Pont
100000. Because of this the magnate
felt very grateful to Senator Ball and,
it is said, promised not to do anything
that would endanger his chances of
being renominated by the Republican
Party. Both Short and Taylor being
Alfred I. men, it is said that Mr.. du
Pont would look upon their doing any
thing to shelve Ball with disfavor. The
outcome is being watched with inter-
est.
Throwing in of Miller Hat Seen
Before the name of Vail was men
toned it looked as if Townsend would
be able to round up the Sussex county
delegates to the State convention. If
Vail has any following and can pre-
vent Townsend from being nominated
in the Sussex county caucus it is hard
to tell what the result will be. Should
such a situation result an effort will
be made to bring out Thomas W. Mil
Ter, alien property custodian. Mr.. Mil
Ter is not a candidate at the present
time, but is lined up behind Mr.. Town
send, believing that he is one person
who can defeat Senator Ball. With
such a split as outlined above and the
delegates looking around for a COM
promise candidate, Mr.. Miller stands
a good chance of having his name
placed before the convention.
Although it has been known for
some time that the Klan was planning
10 get into politics it was not official
Iy announced until this week. It is
not believed that the organization will
AXE much Of part in the Senatorial
light. It is announced, however, that
t will concentrate its efforts to elect
o the General Assembly men who are !
lnOwn to be favorable to the princi-
)les of the Klan.
The political lines will be so sharp
y drawn on national issues that ra-
,ial or religious questions will have
title effect on the voters.
