law to make possible the effective
ness of the Constitution? That is
not what they propose to do.
"They talk about the repeal of the
Klair law so that physicians can
prescribe whiskey. If an amendment
is needed to the State enforcement
act, that is a State argument and
should be fought out at Dover.
my contention in this campaign
is that the three chief. issues in
volved are tariff, tax reduction and
the Constitution. We must get home
one thought, that is that President
Hoover needs Republican Senator
from Delaware in Washington.
I'm my opinion, the Eighteenth
Amendment will not be repealed in
years to come if it is ever repealed,
because 13 states can Obstruct it,
and before the campaign is over, l
intend to smoke them out on the
question of prohibition and where
they stand"
Senator Hastings charged that the
Democratic supporters of the Bayard
candidacy are willing to trade any
thing from Congressman down to
coroner in order to save the head of
the ticket

said the Senator, than win by such
a sceheme that would bring disgrace
to the Republican party. l would
not permit trading if knew it and

Democrats have raised a question
as to the number of votes cast for
delegates for Mr.. Marvel and for
Mr.. Bayard in Sussex county, the
Nye committee having been inform
ed at its hearing that 400 votes
were cast in this county. A big ma
jority of the Sussex county vote was
cast for Marvel delegates.
According to reports received in
Washington, which lack official ver-
ification, the Nye committee has
half dozen Investigators now at
work in Delaware, and this number
may be doubled as election day
nears, as it is reported the commit
tee intends to make a close obser-
vatiOn of the activities of both the
Republican and Democratic workers
on election day, particularly as to
the expenditure of money for cleo

4947 IN STATE
OVER 65 YEARS
[COufinned from Fha Pagr]

The number of persons under one
year was 9,7OS, as compared with
4,674 in 1920. The whole group of
children under years of age also
shows a marked decrease, from 22,-
929 in 1920 to 1928 in 1880.
All the remaining age groups,
however, except that comprising
persons from 25 to 30 years of age,
show an increase between 1920 and
1880.
On a percentage basis, persons in
the age groups from 35 years up
wards represeted a larger proper
tion of the total population in 1880
than i'll 1920, as did likewise per-
sons in the group from 10 to 10 years
of age. These increased percentages
are balanced by a smaller proper
tion of persons under 10 years of
age, and of persons from 20 to 81
years.

VERSION OF VAGABOND KING

All in Technicolor from BEGIN

Fifty-fVe gorgeous settings.
From a best-selling, romantic no
vel, "If l Were King" by Justin
Huntly Mccarthy, which in turn be-
came the highly successful Broad
way operetta THE VagabOnd King
by William H. Post, Brian Hooker
and Rudolph Friml. Now enlarged
and magnifcently magnified into
filmdom's most pretentious repro
duction of a stage musical success.
The stage production played 80
weeks in New York, then was seen
and heard by thousands on its tour
to Chicago and Philadelphia
Dennis King, who created the role
in the original stage operetta, "The
Vagabond King" plays the same role
with the same dynamic spirit and
gusto in the all-color screen ver-
sion.
The two major song hits of the
show are THE Song Of the Vaga-
bonds" and only A Rose" These
are fairly well-known by this time
everywhere. They have been pro-
duced on phonOgraph records, sheet
music and innumerable times over
the radio.
A chorus of 500 voices supports
King when he sings "Thc Song of
the VagabOnds" in the picture. 1t
is one of the greatest, most blood
stirring thrills the eye and ear will
ever be favored with. Showing at

Three exciting reels Of exper-
