beaten to a fizzle, and then when
you take in consideration what
Roosevelt did for Smith in the last
campaign, not only nominated him
but worked hard to elect him, and
then for Smith to prove Q traitor
when most needed. Perhaps there Is
something back of il all, we don't
/ understand.
The next Congressman, well we
will still nominate John Biggs, Jr.
Now for the Governor ii DI. Payn-
ter's health will permit. let The State
Democratic Convention nominate
him by acclamation. lie has the abil-
ity and the qualifications to make
Delaware one of the beat Governors
the State has ever had.
Republican
There seems to be only one man
in the race for the nomination for
the office of President of the United
States, that is President Hoover He
seems to gather all delegates with
out much trouble. In fact, Mr.. Hoo
yer is about the only man that
stands any chance to receive the
nomination.
Other candidates will appear from
time to time and perhaps corral
few delegates, but not enough to do
them any good President Hoover
will be the next nominee for Presi-
dent on the Republican ticket.
Some people are saying that Gov
ernor Buck will not accept another
nomination. We don't know whether
there is any truth in the report or
not. The Republican party will lose
their most available candidate if
Governor Buck refuses to serve and
the only one that is likely to win.
If Governor Buck refuses to serve
for another term, that would bring
DOlphus Short of Sussex prominent
ly before the public for the office OF
Governor. Mr.. Short has been a cam
didate for the office for sometime |
but has been turned down several |
times and will continue to be turned
down as long as the organization |
forces has the upper hand. Mr.. I
Short is a good fellow and deserves I
better treatment from his fellow
l don't believe this is the /
year for Mr.. Short to receive the
for Governor. A great
many people are saying this is to be
4 Democratic year.
Congressman Houston seems to
be the only one that has his hat in
he ring. If the organization wants
him for another term he will re-
:eive the nomination and we believe
hey do, and it will not be of any
Use for any others to seek the place
low occupied by Mr. Houston.
4 Word To Congress
AS President Hoover has said he
vas willing to work for one year for
/ dollar, giving back to the Govern
nent the sum of $74,999 from his
salary. How would it do for every
Senator and Congressman to do like
wise, and include every cabinet Of
icer and heads of all departments,
nd in fact include everyone holding
government position? At this rate
lie saving would be tremendous and
Don pay the debt which the United
states now owes. Try it.
