SOME DEMOCRATIC
MAJ0RITIES RANGE
TO 1854 In KENT
rCOnfinued from FRI P4gsj

Lower House from the Second Dis
trict, received the highest majority
that any candidate has ever receiv-
ed from that district, that of 219,
this district having given in former
years, the close majorities of l, 2,
8 and 4.
The election of the three members
of the Kent County Levy Court, all
Democrats, with substantial majori-
ties, John J. Hurd of the First dis
trict by 1856; Fred P. Parker of the
Second district. by 545, and J.. B.
Counselman OF the Third district by
1876, was another surprise of Tues
days election.
With the election of the Demo-
cratic Levy Court will mean a DEM
ocratic Board of Assessment which
has been held for many years by the
Republicans.
One of the surprises in Dover, was
the carrying by the Democrats of
the Second Election District of the
Fifth Representative District. This
is strong Republican district and
was carried two years ago by the
Republicans by majority of 250.
This year it gave a Democratic ma
jority from 40 to 81. There is a large
colored vote in this district.
The entire county government in
Kent county for the next two years
will be in control of the Democrats.

Forces demanding immediate
change in Federal prohibition, eth
err through repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment or through modification
of the Volstead act, appeared def
nitely to have gained control of both
branches of Congress on the basis
of early election returns.
With 25 contests for the Senate
and 141 for the House still in doubt
the anti-prohibitionists were GER
tain of 40 votes in the Senate, or a
majority of one, and 2S1 in Congress
"a margin of 63. Only thirteen out
right "drys" appeared sure of cleo
ton to the House, the other 422 be-
ing counted either among those
committed to prohibition reform or
in the doubtful column of less than
$50 votes.
The chances for immediate
change of the Volstead Act so as to
allow light wines and beer, as pro-
vided in the Democratic platform,
appeared more probable than for
outright repeal. Sixty-four Senate
seats and 29O in the House would be
required for the latter, whereas
only a bare majority of 40 in the
Senate and 218 in the House would
be required to change the national
prohibition (Volstead) law. These
numbers appeared certain, calculat-
ed on the simple addition of the out
and out "wets" of both Houses, to
the Democrats who during the cam
paign promised to stand by their
platform as adopted by the Chicago
convention.
A large number of votes from the
"dry" South were being added to the
'wet" columns as returns came in,
coupled with declaration of views
accredited to candidates at the last
moment. In Alabama and North
Carolina, for instance, where party
harmony was the veritable theme
song of the campaign, the Senators
and Representative elected were
listed as anti-prohibitionists in
keeping with the Democratic decla-

RAISES 19,9OO CANS OF
TOMATOES TO AN ACRE

The farm packing plant is prov
ing an efficient means of utilizing
both time and crop. Tomatoes, for
example, can be picked at exactly
the proper time, cleaned and packed
at onse, and stored under the best
and most economical conditions
until the best prices can be obtain
ed.
One example of a successful farm
canning plant is that of George H.
Seeley and his two sons of Green
wood, Sussex county. This year, ac-
cording to a report to the American
Agricultural Chemical Company,
manufacturers of the special brand
of fertilizer which they use, they
packed 5000 cases, or $4,000 10 OF.
cans from ten acres of tomatoes
grown on their farm. Their yield av-
eraging 9.4 tons to the acre has been
seldom equalled in their neighbor-
hood. One measured acre produced
as high as 1871 tons.
All of the cultivated land on Mr..
Seeley's farm was cleared by him.
His sweet potato crop, also grown
with AAC fertilizer, average 2S5
baskets of .firsts per acre.

the legislation he will propose, and
for future political wars.
In doing so, his intimates expect
continuation of that unceasing
communication with thousands of
people which-through his advisory
staff-was carried on for several
years in the quest for nomination
and during the struggle to reach the
White House. Unless there is a shift,
there will be no strict respecting of
party affiliations as such.
Meantime, the plans of President
Hoover and lesser chiefs of regular
Republicanism have become sub
jects of engrOssing interest.
How extensively Mr.. Hoover will
participate in party affairs will be
watched. His distaste for some as
poets of politics is well known.
With Mr. Hoover rests a decision
whether he is to invite a coopera-
tion of mis- successful rival in meet
ing legislative and budgetary prob
lens that face the government this
winter. Mr.. Roosevelt's influence
with the old Congress will be meal
culable and Mr.. Hoover himself de-
scribed the plight of the nation as
even graver than in war.
That Mr.. Hoover soon will be
back at his desk is certain. An op-
portunity for an early meeting be-
tween the two will come within the
next fortnight. The President-elect
is expected to stop in Washington,
at least over night on his way from
Albany 20 Warm Springs, Ga.
Roosevelt is likely to break an
other political precedent, his asso-
ciates said by announcing the make
up of his cabinet much earlier than
is customary.

Secretary OF the Navy: Senator

Recommendation that a profess
SIGNAL director be provided to organ

instruction, in her biennial report.
Miss Palmer recommended that the
director have qualifications and COM

the institutions and be attached to
the board of administration.
This is an economic as well as
educational necessity" the report
said. "One private and seven state
institutions are training teachers fol
cur state public schools. The present
situation may be compared to a pub
lie school Of eight rooms with NO
principal or superintendent.
Over-Supply of Teachers

quires the undivided attention of one
person with necessary experience and
authority to eliminate duplicating
courses, to combine similar courses,
introduce new content to other
courses and direct the necessary
changes to give the state a unified
system which will supply the needs
OF the state and give wider oppor-
tunities to the yodng people than are
now available.
Miss Palmer also recommended a

Of lay members be established, with
the duty of selecting and appointing

ton.
Educational advancement in the
state. the report said, has been iden-
titled with the long administrations
when "a continuing policy in the de-
partment made leadership possible. u
The present system was termed in
efficient, wasteful and non produc-
tive of leadership.
The change recommended would
require an amendment to the state
constitution. =
Need Vocational Direction
The great need of the public
schools is vocational direction and
the opportunity for children to learn
to use their hands, the report states
1.-THE suggestion is made that one
or two of our teacher-training insti-
tutions be closed as an economy
measure" Miss Palmer said, but it
is not economy to allow expensive
buildings and good equipment to
stand idle when hundreds of young
people want to go to school.
1T is economy to change what VIC
have into what we need. Our insti-
tutionS are well located to serve the
whole state but the courses offered
should be reorganized so that through,
personal guidance the student espe-
cially fitted to teach shall be trained
and recommended for certification
and other students who do not wish
to teach shall have the opportunity
to study advantages and disadyan-
tages, chance of employment, supply
