the West and great crowds greet
him at every point, but crowds don't
always say that he will get their
votes. You must remember that four
years ago that Ex-Governor Smith
had immense crowds wherever he
appeared, but things are different
now-perhaps people are ready for
change. The American people are
peculiar people and when they get
ready for change in the political
world they bring it about quickly,
whether the change is for good or
bad.
Governor Roosevelt has proven
himself to be an able and convinc-
ing speaker, and is giving his op-
ponent some unhappy moments, but
no one can tell at this time what the
outcome will be-time alone will
tell.
For Governor-We still think of
the three candidates who have their
hats in the ring, that Wilson M.
Vinyard is the strongest of the
three. We have the greatest respect
for the other two candidates, the
Messrs. Layton and Deputy, but the
Democrats to win must put forward
their strongest man and we believe
that Mr.. Vinyard will coral more
independent votes (Which a man to
win, must do) than the others.
It would be well for those influ-
ential Democrats to take this view
of the matter if they have the well
fare of the Democratic party at
heart.
For Congress-We still espouse
the cause of ex-Judge w. H. Boyce
of Dover, but if the Democrats have
a more suitable man, then let them
bring him forth.
For Attorney General-We sup
pose that John Biggs, Jr., will be
nominated by acclimation. He will
ably fill the bill.
The other State officers will come
forward and be nominated at the
proper time.
Republican
President Hoover is not only |
holding his own but is gaining some. |
The Democratic victory in the State |
of Maine seems to have put new life |
in the Republican party and they are |
putting their best efforts forth and
if possible overcome the effects of
the unlocked for victory of the DEM
ocrats in that state. They are send /
ing their most effective speakers
out through the country to try to
convince the people that the Repub-
lican methods are best for the pub

successful or not remains to be
seen.
For Governor-The present Gov
ernor, c. Douglass Buck, won out as
did all the candidates espoused by
the Better Government League. The
opposition was feeble and showed
the diminishing strength of both Mr..
Short for Governor and Mr.. Houston
for Congress. It has left some sores
which no doubt will be healed over
before the day of election comes
around, but some of them will have
to eat a, large, amount of crow be-
fore supporting the successful can
didates.
The other State officers are very
creditable men.
F'inally-Let a man who has been
voting for over 60 years, give the
leaders of both the Democratic and
Republican parties a piece of advice
which if taken will produce a state
of things which will be for the best
interests of both parties. Stop buy
ing votes. Let women and men think I
more of themselves then to put
themselves up like cattle to the
highest and best bidder. You can ;
never have a free expression of the 1
wills of the people at the polls as ;
long as this thing exists. We will go ;
farther and say that those who sell /
themselves and the same can be |
proved, they should be forever kept
from exercising the right to vote at
any election. Money received in this A.,
way scarcely does the party receiv- +
ing it any good.
Conclusion-The party giving this (
advice never bought a vote anG c
never contributed a dollar for any
without making the stip- r
llation that not one dollar could be V
used for the purchase of votes. but S
TO be used for the legitimate ex-
penses of the campaign. I
Women Entrance Into Politics c
Has the political atmosphere been S
made more purer by the entrance of v
into the political arena? We s
we're told when women were given Il
he right to vote that they would h
urn things around and for the bet Il
er. Have they done so? We think h
lot. We hate to think the giving the
light to vote to women has brought il
ibout the freedom which they as Il
;ume today, which has led to many D
,Xcesses, unknown to the women of c,
he early period. A woman who g
would have drank highballs, smoked
cigarettes or indulged in petting o.
,arties, would have been tabooed by 81
,eople who composed the higher Sc
ociety of long ago. Il
