do for an issue if they can't denounce
Hoover and his lack of leadership in
a national crisis? And where will
campaign funds come from to make
up Raskob's deficit and pay the ex-
penses of the new campaign?
Unfortunately, the bark of the
Democratic dog is determined by its
tail, located in the vicinity of New
York. Hence the platform of 1882
will contain nothing new, but merely
a series of compromises and straddles.
Why should not the real party try a
genuine platform for change-a
platform stressing the aspirations
and visions of those who believe with
President Hoover that the United
States has, a great future, coupled
with international duties? If the party
is destined to defeat in 1882, why
should it not go down with colors
flying rather than to meet defeat
flying the white flag?

PITY THE DEMOCRATS!

The leaders of the Democratic par
ty, up to recent days, have been chuck
ling to- themselves on what an easy
victory they would have in 1882 over
a party having Hoover as its candi-
date for reelection. It assumed the
choice Of Democratic banner-bearer,
wet, but no too wet, who would win
the united support of the party on
the supposition that he would carry
the election and place the party and
its office-seekers in charge of the Ma
tional administration.
Hoover's moratorium proposal has
changed all this. 1t is a good propo-
sition and rightly called out the sup
port of a practically united nation,
irrespective of party, but it has given
Hoover prestige and seems to be in a
fair way to give some stimulus to ma
tional prosperity. If his proposal sue
ceeds, as seems likely, with some mod
ifications, his party will gladly renom-
mate him and give him hearty sup
port.
But what will the poor Democrats

COMPETITION MAKES LIFE

Every person in Garrett county is
entered in competition of one kind or
another. Few are the merchants,
business or professional men who
have no competition. Farmers COM
pete against each other when they
place their grains, livestock, etc., in
the annual agricultural exhibit, and
no one will deny that winning first
place gives the winner a thrill.
Few are the people who are not
thrilled when the winner of the 100
yard dash or of some other athletic
event crosses the finish line.
Few are the people in Garrett coun-
ty who would not be thrilled at seeing
a horse race.
With this new attraction virtually
certainty the Garrett county Fair
Association stands a better chance of
financial success this year than ever
before.

Crellin Wins First Game in the
Second Half of Preston League

Before large gathering of fans the
Crellin baseball nine set the hard hit
ting Bergman nine down to defeat by
a score of 81. This was the first game
of the second half of split schedule.
Shaffer was on the mound for Crellin
scoring his fourth straight win of the
season, and but for squeeze play in
the ninth after two down when the
Bergman lads pushed run across the
plate, Shaffer would have scored a
shut-out. He held his opponents to
six scattered hits, and retired five by
strikeouts. Dennis Colaw and Wilt
were the leading hitters for Crellin,
each getting three hits in four trips
to the plate, two doubles and single.
B. Sywres was the only player on the
Bergman team able to solve Shaffer's
delivery and found him for three hits
in four trials.
Rowlesburg, winners Of the first
half, will be at Crellin to do battle
with the Crellinites next Sunday at
2:30. Rowlesburg received white
wash from the Crellin boys in their
