DELAWARE AUXILIARY
WINS NATIONAL CUP

The Hobart Junior Trophy, ma
tional trophy cup awarded annually
to the department of the American
Legion Auxiliary among the smaller
states which exceeds it's highest pre-
viOus membership by the greatest
percentage, has been won this year
by the Department of Delaware, it
has been announced at national
headquarters of the Auxiliary. To
win the trophy the Delaware AuXil-
larry women secured an increase of
22.69 per cent over their highest pre-
viOus membership.

ran second to Delaware with Mary
land in third position. The trophy
cup will be transferred from the
custody of Arizona to that of Della
ware at the national convention of
the Auxiliary in San Antonio, Texas,

The increase in the membership
of the Auxiliary in Delaware is in
linA, with the gain in strength of the
organization throughout the coun-
try. In SO states the Auxiliary has
the highest membership in it's his
tory and the national membership is
approximately $4,000 larger than at
the close of last year.

result of action taken at the meet
ing of the Medical Society of Della

WHY THE FARMERS
ARE FOR HOOVER

When the farm vote is cast in No
vember, it will be substantially for
Hoover, for three reasons:
l. Republicanism is the prevail
ing political faith of a large major
ity of the farmers.
2. There is nothing in AL Smiths
Tammany antecedents to show that
his sympathies and political inter-
ests run along with the farmers.
He hangs his hope of election on
two sources of political strength
the solid south, which he counts
upon voting against it's convictions,
and the votes of the big cities-New
York and Chicago, notably. They
want cheap farm products and do
not give a thought for the farmer.
3. The democratic party's record
for free trade in farm products. It
gave the farmers free trade under
the Underwood law, enacted in 1913.
and continued through eight years
of Wilson's administration. In his
acceptance speech Governor Smith
pointed to that Underwood law.
with free trade in farm products. as
a model for future guidance.

SOME EDITORIAL
OPINIONS

Is there anything of an economic
nature to be gained by change in
administration? That question will
be asked by the average man thru
out the country. And the prevailing
answer, in view of the background
of the opposing parties and the rec
ord of their leaders, must be that
nothing is to be gained but uncer-
tainty.-Portland (Ore.) Oregonian.
THE WOMEN AND THE VOTE
There are in this country 26,0O0,-
900 women voters. That is enough
to turn any national election-Coo-
lidge in 1924 had 15,0U0,0O0 votes,
Davis 100000, LaFolBette 100000
so that woman power cOncentrat-
ed and energized at the polls can be
practically supreme. Mr.. Curtis
made special appeal to the women
in his speech accepting the vice
presidential nomination.
The vote Of the women, compare
lively small in 1920 and not sharp
ly defined in 1924, should be a pow
erful factor this year. With whom
will they align themselves?
Mr.. Smiths major appeal for sup
port is based upon his determination
TO modify the Volstead Act and
bring about an alteration of the 18th
Amendment. Freer flowing hooch
OF stouter composition may be the
logical need of this republic, but it's
restoration to the national bill of
fare is hardly/a program likely to
capture the feminine imagination.
The liquor issue is primarily mas
culine.
On the other hand, Mr.. Hoover's
marvellous record-mOthers and ba-
bies saved in Belgium, the homeless
and starving helped in the Missis-
sippi Valley, good housekeeping in
the Department of Commerce -
should prove attractive. The efii-
cheney of which Mr.. Hoover is
proven master makes for a fuller,
freer, happier domestic life.

A MAN OF PEACE

Herbert Hoover comes of Quaker
stock. He has a passion for peace
Through his career he has demon
strated his intense desire to assuage
the horrors of war. All these things
Jf experience and faith no doubt
contribute to the solemn words he
used on war and peace in his ac-
ceptance speech at Palo Alto:
For may say that l have wit
messed as much of the horror and
suffering of war as any other Ameri-
can. From it l have derived deep
passion for peace. Our foreign pol
icy has one primary object, and that
is peace. We have no hates; we
wish no further possessions; we
harbor no military threats"
This is Mr.. HoOver's most signifi-
cant remark. 1t gives the key to his
purposes, if elected President, in
American foreign policies. This is
to maintain peace between the Uni
ted States and the nations of the
world. 1t is very well considered
policy to take.
Mr.. Hoover is by no means an iso-
lationist. He is not one of those who
believes that the United States can
build a Chinese wall about our bor-
ders, and live completely to our
selves. And consequently he sets
forth that "the experiences of the
war afforded final proof that we

FORD FOR HOOVER

"The worst thing that could hap
pen to this country would be step
backward in our fight against liquor.
1 am interested in anything to keep
the eighteenth amendment as it is.
If Hoover stands on that belief, and
1 am sure he does, 1 am for him. Re-
peal of the amendment would be a
calamity, but there is no possibility
Of it. Personally, I'd turn out the
army and navy to stop bootlegging.
If the law were changed we'd have
TO shut up our plants. Everything
in the United States is keyed up to
a new pace, which started with pro-
hibitiOn. The speed at which we
run our motor cars, opeate our in
tricate machinery and generally
live would be impossible with liquor.
No, there is no chance even of modi-
fcation. Comment of Henry Ford.
