HOOVER SENTIMENT
SWEEPS DELAWARE
Democrats Privately COncede Defeat
OF Smith And Maybe OF Bayard

A letter from Wilmington to the
Public Ledger states that most OF
the Democratic leaders in private
conversations have conceded that
Herbert Hoover will carry Delaware.
They say, however that his majority
will be much smaller than that Civ
en- President Coolidge four years
ago. The Democrats profess to have
falnt hope that Senator Thomas F.
Bayard will be reelected. In fact,
the energies of the party are now
directed to trying to defeat former
Governor John G. Townsend, the op-
ponent of Senator Bayard, and Con-
gressman Robert G. Houston, who is
opposing John M. Richardson, of
Georgetown, for Delaware's seat in
the House of Representatives
Even the Republicans admit that
Senator Bayard is popular outside
of his party and will get a large
number of votes which will not be
cast for Governor Smith. Seldom in
the history of the State has a candi-
date for the United States Senate
made such a thorough campaign as

going up and down the State every
day and night speaking to meetings,
large and small. On the other hand,
his opponent has addressed few
meetings, but has been working
among the voters, especially those in
Kent and Sussex counties. Town
send is one of the politicians of the
old school and has been called one
of the best vote getters in the State.
He is depending upon the methods
which stood him so well in the past
to elect him this time. The Repub-
licans say that he will be elected |
but that he will be cut. On the other
hand, the friends of the former gov
ernOr claim that the drys will cut |
Senator Bayard
Democrats, while not claiming |
the election of Senator Bayard, are |
cOntenting themselves with saying |
that he has better chance than any |
other man on the ticket. Mr.. Town |
send has the support of the anti as
well as the organization men of the |
Republican party. He was to have |
been the candidate when Senator
Coleman DUPONT was nominated and |
elected. At the last minute, the
friends of Senator DUPONT persuaded
him to be a candidate and Mr..
Townsend stepped aside At the
time it was stated that General du
Pont would be for Townsend at the
expiration of the term of Senator
He kept his word.
Congressman Houston seems to
have the best of the contest for the
seat, the only one
from Delaware. He is a seasoned
politician, and although he has not
abandoned his old methods of get
Ting in personal touch with the vot-
ers, he has delivered a number of
speeches. Mr.. Richardson is not so
we'll known. 1t is admitted that
Houston will be cut some in Will
nington because of his dry stand,
)ut Republicans and most Demo- t
rats concede he will win. The Re- \
'ublicans base their claim upon the b
act that Delaware is normally Re- t.
ublican and that the large dry vote
the two lower counties will more Z
han make up for the wet votes he E
rill lose in Wilmington. v

year will be required to file their
application cards and pay the regis

Persons desiring special numbers
may make request for same by filing
their applications, paying the fee
and stating the number desired.
Such applications must be filed on
or before December first, so that
the request may be granted.
Beginning on Monday, December
3, all license plates will be distribut-

SEAFORD is CENTER
FOR BROCCOLI GREENS
Seed Testing On j. J. Kinder Farm,
Near SeafOrd, Is OF Interest to
Growers.

For the few last years Broccoli
has become an important crop in
Sussex county. 1t was, no doubt, in
troduced by Mr.. Thomas of Laurel
who seems to have been the first
man to grow it in this section. From
this small beginning it has become
one of our leading crops of greens
and now many acres are grown each
year and shipped to northern mar
kets.
Last March the Broccoli Commit
tee of the Del-Mar-Va Association,
called to the attention of the grow
ers the necessity of testing seeds of
different varieties, in order to learn
which variety was best adapted to
our soils.
With this in view our Agricultur-
al Experiment Station in coopera-
tion with County Agent C.. R. Sny-
der, and J. J. Kinder of Seaford
started "seed variety test" on the
latter's farm. The object of this
demonstration will be to find out
just which kind of seed is suitable
to our soils. Here we have twenty
three different kinds of seeds plant
ed. Later on the plants wilr'be COM
pared with regard to hardness to
cold, size or yield and secure the re-
actions from the growers and ship
pers in regard to the respective va
rieties This demonstration should
be of interest to all who are growing
the crop, and if at any time you are
in the vicinity of the Kinder farm,
Mr.. Kinder will gladly show you
these test plots.

THE POLITICAL PARADE
By Harry R. B1ackmon

Washington, D. c., October 25.-
Herbert Hoover will be elected tt
the presidency on November 6 will
at least so electoral votes to spare
according to the almost unanimous
opinion of news writer's who have
been making surveys of the entire
country. The eastern states are said
to be certain for him with one or two
possible exceptions, the border
states are leaning strongly toward
him and several southern states in
which Republican victory would be
a tremendous upset are classed as
uncertain territory. The west, as
usual, will stand by the party which
has contributed most to it's develop
ment and the candidate which it
produced.
What makes the outcome so GER
tain at this time? That can only
be surmissed, but certainly two fac
tors have played an important part.
They are the high type of campaign
made by Herbert Hoover, who has
dealt with the vital questions which
Will confront the next president in
an intelligent, discerning manner,
and the inability of the Democratic
nominee, by his speeches, to con-
vince the nation that he is as well
qualified to deal with those same
questions as Mr.. Hoover.

Boston speech of the Republican
nominee by radio heard a definite.

at Louisville, KY, after leaving the
country in doubt on his tariff posi-
tlon during most of the campaign,
Iashed out with an old-fashioned

publican tariff.
If money spent by the Democratic
party in organizing the farmers of

no more effective than that used in
New York gubernatorial campaigns.

his friends. Two of these are Sena-
TOR William E. Borah of Idaho.
whose sturdy endorsements of the
Republican nominee have set the
country ringing and Secretary of
the Treasury Andrew w. Mellon.
VINO displayed that remarkable abil-
lty which will give him a place in
history in replying to Governor
Smiths misrepresentation about
economy.
1t would hardly do, as Mr.. Mellon
points out, to have as president of !
the United States a man who openlv
that the fiscal reports of fed

COMMON PURPOSE

Anthropologists tell us that man in his early state lived
apart with his own little family, and archaeologists say the
first communities we're formed by confederated families
brought together for a common purpose-protection against
mans natural enemies. Today, man is distinctly a gregar-
ious animal attracted more and more to community life. And
men still build cities for a common purpose, or common pur-
poses.
In the city one finds protection against fire, disease and
the enemies of society. One goes to the city for good schools
and monumental churches, paved streets, employment, art,
entertainment, the society Of other men and comforts of life
denied the rural citizen. There is found the front rank of
civilization.
The people of Plentywood have a commo purpose. 1t
is the advancement of the community as a whole. That COM
mon purpose is hardly distinguishable from the purpose of
each individual. That which benefits the individual usually
benefits the entire community and that which benefits the
community reacts to the benefit of each of its citizens.
Prosperity and progress come to those communities
whose citizens have their eyes upon the largest number OF
common purposes. Success crowns the efforts of the man of
purpose, and the city with a common purpose works as one
man.
Common purpose" creates new industries, increases
business, minimizes unemployment, makes cities better plac-
es in which to live and performs miracles in community
betterment.

SEVEN HUNTERS
KILLED DURING

Seven fatalities and five more or
less serious accidents had marked the
Montana hunting season with the
close of the big game period. Two
were killed by guns in the hands of
others, one was drowned and four
others met death through the dis
charge of weapons in their own
hands.
There were eight deaths charged
to hunting activities within the same
period last year and six the year be-
fore.
The list of fatalities follows:
Sgt. Paul B. Ports, Fort Missoula,

Attempt Made to
Escape From Jail
in Daniels County

Scobey.-Monday evening of last
week a bold attempt to escape from
the county Jail at Scobey was made
by some of the prisoners who tried to
saw the steel bars Of the Jail win
dow. Night Jailer Axel Lawrence,
detecting the peculiar noise. investig-
ated and found a dozen hack saw
blades and bars of soap which some
one had passed in to the prisoners
from the outside.
Had Car Ready
The identity of those doing the
saving could not be learned but there
was little doubt about the assistance
given from the outside as a car was
held in readiness to make their es-
cape once outside the Jail.
Herman Wagner had left his car
beside his house while he attended
meetings at Flaxville and Whitehall
and when he returned he called the
sheriff's office to help him locate it.
Connecting the theft with the at
tempt to escape, a search was made
for the car nearby and it was found
in the alley back of the Rex Theatre
where it would be convenient for the
hack saw wielders.
Eight in Jail
There were four county prisoners
and four others confined by immi-
grafton and city officers. The of
ficers have a good idea of those who
tried the bold stroke, but none of the
prisoners would tell who used the
saws or how they got into the Jail.
The saw had not cut deep enough
to reach the steel roller in the CEN
ter of the round bars and it is doubt
full if they could have cut more than
the outside shell.
The sheriff's office has been for
tunate in detecting all attempts to
escape from the local Jail to date.
