Milford chronicle., 1932-09-02
POlitical-DemOcratic


Columbus, Ohio, and the other at
SeaGirt, N. j., which has made the
managers who has the Republican
campaign in charge, a great deal to
think about, and if his speeches, is
an indication of what is to follow,
the country may expect a very in
teresting campaign, and it will take
all the power of the combined Re-
publican forces to offset in part
which he has already said. Cover
nor Roosevelt is an able man and
we believe strictly honest.
Two candidates for the Office of
Governor on the Democratic side
have cast their hats into the ling.
Landreth L. Layton, of Georgetown
and Wilson NJ. Vinyard of Milford,
both clever gentlemen. Are they
strong enough to command the en-
tire vote of the Democratic party
and the independent vote as well.
They must be able to do this to beat
Governor Buck if he receives the
nomination at the Republican State
Convention soon to be held.
For Congressman we still believe
that John Biggs, Jr., is the coming
man and will receive the nomina-
tion when the Democratic State
Convention meets. AS to the other
candidates for the different State
and county offices they should be
men of ability and strength of char
attef that will command the entire
vote, of the party.
Republican
President Hoover is very unfor-
tunate in having the depression now
existing during his term of office
and equally unfortunate in having
it during the time he is seeking re-
election, as people will generally |
lay the evils existing to the party |
in power, and its candidate for Of
fee of President will have tc share |
his part; while in fact he is not re-
spOnsible. Mr.. Hoover, no doubt,
has done all in his power to stay
the depression. which has seized the
country within it's grasp and he
will have to face the fact that hard \
times still exist while making his
fight for reelection. Mr.. Hoover is
an able and honest man but is very
unfortunate in having a certain set
espousing his cause.
Both Governor Buck and l. Dol
phus Short have their hats in the
ring and both will ask the next Re-
publican State Convention to name
one of them as the candidate for
governor. We believe that Cover
nor Buck will win the nomination,
(and if the Democrats are not very
particular to nominate their strong
est-man) will win the election. The
spreading broadcast circulating in
Wilmington and Rehoboth (the past
week. attacking the Governor and
saying things which are not true,
such work comes from towards who
are afraid to come out in the open
and face those whom they try to dis
grace. Such people are not fit to be-
long to any party.
Congressman-In the ring at the
present time are the hats of Con-
gressman Houston and Reuben ].
Satterthwaite who has the backing
of the Better Government League.
The drys are as unit in favor of
Nj Houston, but we believe the
cards are stacked against him and
he will not receive the nomination
and would not be elected if nomi- {
mated. We will have to wait and see.
Tatt0Oing Poultry
=, Some poultry farmers in Caroline
county, Maryland, are tattOoing t
their poultry to prevent their being
stolen by thieves. The mode is sim ]
ply this, each poultry raiser will be
assigned a different tattoo mark,
which will be registered with the {
poultry association to which they l
belong. The tattooing is done with a
special apparatus which marks the |
chicken for life within a few min
utes. S
A poultry farmer of near Centre c
vile. Md, said that the tattooing of
the hens had proven a positive v
means of Identification. v
Something of this kind will have e
to be resorted to by the poultry
raisers of Delaware. The constant i
inroads on their focks by thieves i
have in some cases made poultry v
farmers throw up their hands and a
quit the business. a
1t was suggested at the meeting in
that each buyer should be 4
given a bill of laden by the seller t
which would describe in full the b
marks on the chickens sold. 1t
would be easy for the authorities to
arrest anyone having chickens F
which they could not show a legal c
right to the possession of them. f
The whipping post has in mea- n
sure been preventive which keeps
thieves out of Delaware, but to b
catch them and prove the crime on a
them, has been hard to do. F
With the Maryland mode of tat
tooing the chickens, IT, should make S
t.. easy to apprehend those engaged "
IN the nefarious business of pur- t.
Joining poultry and should be, if
adopted by the chicken raisers of il
Delaware, comparably safe to en- Il
gage in the business of poultry far s.
ming. S
Even at the low prices for poultry N
low prevailing, those engaged in the A
business could make a few dollars, +,
f they could feel safe from further
nroads on their poultry by thieves. o
Let some of the largest poultry p
'armers call a meeting to be held fl
It, the county seats and adopt meas
Tres similar to the above, which G.
would further deter thieves from c
the confines of each coun- E
Y. Try it. "
