office, is such that all parts of the
state demanded that he be again
placed on the ticket. He has ably
filled the Office, and has been on the
job more than has any of the Della
ware delegation at Washington. The
Chronicle opposed his denomination
for one reason, and one reason
only-that of breaking a precedent
for denomination over two terms.
Now that the Republicans of Della
ware have seen fit to break this un-
written law, this paper shall sup
port Congressman Houston, not only
for the present term, but for re-
nomination to succeed himself two
years hence. If length of service
counts, let's keep Robert G. Hous-
ton at Washington so long as he
fulfills his official duties capably.
The remainder of the State ticket is
composed of able men, all of whom
should be supported by loyal re-
publicans.

Sen. HEFLIN SPEAKS

and their sacred honor"
"If we're not ready to fight and to
die to preserve it, we're not worth
the powder and shot expended to
kill u.s." the United States Senator
shouted to his cheering audience.
Room For All
At intervals throughout his long
address, Senator Heflin declared that
he "accords to every person the
right which 1 claim for myself, the
right to worship God according to
the dictates of conscience. There's
room for us all-Jew, Protestant and
Catholic, on one condition-one 10y
atty; one flag; one allegience 10 the
United States. That's my doctrine;
and I'll stand by it," the speaker
cried.
"Are we to be condemned because
we want to defend the faith of cur
fathers? the perspiring Senator
shouted; "they teach their children
in the parochial schools to honor
their faith; but when we do it we
become intOlerant."
Nobody ever accused me of heing
lntolerant until I got in front of the
knights of Columbus program of
war with Mexico. I took an oath.

two terms. This it is said will be
his last if elected. He holds an i'm.
j, portant membership on the Rivers
and Harbors Committee of the
House of Congress. The "dry" SEN
timent, particularly the women, de-
manded his denomination, in addi-
ton to the weight of his services to
the State and party in other direc-
tions.
Mr.. Ward has been State Treasur-
er for two years and on his record
the organization leaders declared is
entitled to another term. The only
hesitancy they had was that Mr..
Ward would consent to serve for
another two years, explaining he is
anxious to be able to devote more of
his time ITO his normal business
work. Mr.. Ward is looked upon as
one fthe largest vote "getters" in
Delaware. He is married and lives
in Wilmington.
Mr.. Baker, the nominee for State
Auditor, is married and resides at
Dover. He likewise has served two
years and by virtue of his fine rec
ord is entitled to reelection, the
same party leader said.
Mr.. Hazel, the nominee for Lieu
tenant-Governor, is in the contract
ing business at Dover. He is attach
ed to the Governors staff. He is
about 40 years old "a World War vet
eran, having served in the 59th Pho
neer Regiment overseas. He is ac-
lively connected with the American
Legion in Delaware. He is a dry

der the flag" The applause, by hand
= clapping; shouting; whistling; and
cat-calling following that decIara-
ton, was well night deafening.
We've settled the question Of the
red man and his status; the ques-
ton of the black man and his stat
us; but we've another question now
to settle: alien influence and foreign
domination" cried Senator Heflin.
"This Raskob has been making many
boasts for his 'Raskob-ocracy;' but
he only became a Democrat last
night, he'll learn"
The little Alabaman lashed with a
fiery tongue hickory nut-headed
Protestants, who when you warn
them of impending peril, and cry,
wake up!' yawn and reply, L don't
believe in intolerance"
"Great God! you know what five
Roman senators have done. What
would happen if the Senate were to
be dominated by a majority of that
group. My God! what are we coming
to with 100000 of those people in
this nation; and they're the first to
receive notice of vacancies existing
in Federal governmental depart
ments."
"Why right now go per cent of the
employees of the State Department
are Roman Catholics. Stand up and
assert your rights; I'm for equal
rights to all, and special privileges
to none"
The Senator deplored the alarm
ing extent of the Roman Catholic
control of the press" declaring
there's not to be a change"
He told of a Catholic delegation
who challenged him to debate in
New York City a prominent member
of their group. "The spokesman
tainted dead away when 1 told him
of course I'd debate anyone they Sc
cured to oppose me-they had not

States Senator, to defend my coun
try from all her enemies both with
out and within. 1 have kept anC
mean to keep that oath"
The Alabama Senator told of ris-
ing on the floor of the United States
Senate, after Senator Borah, OF Ida
no, had related the nearness OF ac-
tual war with Mexico, and of how he
(Hefin), a Democrat, had joined
forces with Borah, a Republican, to
avert the "war with Mexico into
which the K. of c. was attempting
to plunge u.s."
81 am opposed to the army of the
United States being used to fight the
battles of the Jewish, Roman CathO-
lie, Protestant or any other relig-
ion"
Senator Hefin stated that the
" Roman Senators, five of them, eX-
pressed profound regret that had
injected the religious element into
the Senate halls; when the New
York Times newspaper, the humb-
lest shoe sinner of that group, prin-
ted the statement that the Knights
of Columbus at their convention in
Philadelphia, themselves discussed
the relation of the church to Mexi-
co."
The following are few of the ma
jor charges laid at the door of "po-
litical Catholicism" by Senator Hef-
lin in his address: LET them hang
their heads in shame over the muir
der of President-elect of Mexico,
ObregOn; that group killed Lincoln,
Garfield and Mckinley, and caused |
to be shot at and wound
ed.
Enemies of restricted immigra-
ton; assaulters of the free press;
and true religious freedom is that
group" said the Senator.
Governor Alfred z. Smith was di-
rectly mentioned by name only once
IN Senator Heflin's grafton. The
mention was to a certain judge to
whom the Senator referred as an
'appointee of Alfred E. Smith"
However, Hefin made indirect ref
'rences to Governor Smith when he
aid: Il don't want to see 'one'
resident. I don't deny his right to
Worship as he chooses; but I do not ,
want to see him use the United
states army to fight religious bat !,
les. Until that group changes its at !
ltude toward the free institutions of !
his country, I don't want one of =

Concerning the 18th Amendment, q
enator Hefin said that "it is the :
est friend of America" He assert !
d that he had "seen the old .sys- :
en-; the want; the squalor; the de- L
radat1On which followed it like

According to one conception, the
love of money is the root of all evil /;
according to another, it is one of the
great principles that move the world.
1t is not deniable that love of money
leads to the commission of many
crimes. On the other hand, what
would be the material and moral
state of the world were there no
passion for wealth? We would have
few of the comforts and convenien-
ces that are now available to most
of us if most of the people were in
different to money; did not care
greatly for it or for the things that
are to be had in exchange for it.
All the great discoveries in science
and every one of the great inven-
tions that have been made might
have been brought forth if nobody
cared for money. But they would
not have been turned to account.
knowledge is useful only when en-
ployed to the general advantage. If
there were no love of money there
would be no capital to exploit the
products of science and invention,
nor would there be incentive TO en-
gage in the manufacture and distri-
button of the great mass of devices
that have become necessities to us. !
People would be born, struggle |
along through a space of time to Sc
cure a bare living and die. They
might or they might not be con-

kept as busy as we are finding the

MILFORD, FRIDAY, SEPT. IA, 1928

IT is A STRONG TICKET thai
the Republican party presents to the
voters of Delaware for the November
elections. In Mr.. Buck there is
strong personality coupled with ad-
ministrative ability, which is direct
ed by a mind schooled and trained
for the duties that will rest upon a
governor. No better man could have
been selected as leader if the Re-
publican party. He is a fine type of
man for any State to have as its
chief executive, and there can be no
quarrel over his selection on the
ground of ability The majority of
the Republican party has spoken,
and their decision will receive the
loyal support of the Milford Chron-
icle. There is a precedent for the
action of the people of New Castle
and Kent, for taking the guberna-
torial nomination from Sussex Coun-
ty at this time. When Charles R.
Miller of Wilmington was named as
the Republican candidate for COVER
nor, it was the turn for Kent Coun-
ty to have had the Office allotted to
it, by reason of rotation. But there
was no one in Kent who would ac-
cept at that time the Governorship,
who was acceptable to the people;
and it was then Sussex County join !
ed with New Castle and sent the |
nomination to that county. With |
the belief that the best interests of !
Delaware would be served, through |
the observance of the rotation of the
Office between the three counties, the
Chronicle supported the effort to
maintain the custom, and have a
Sussex County man named; and, in
I. D. Short, we believed a man cap
able mentally, with experience in
business as well as political policies,
should be named and elected to the
governOrship. However, the major
ity decisively decided against this
plan, and presented the ticket to the
voters of Delaware last Tuesday,
that will be elected at the November
at the polls. The ticket
as named is a strong one, without
weak spots, and it is our ticket in
either victory or defeat, from now
on.
