ONLY SHORT TO
RUN ON STATE
DRYS' TICKET
Leaders Of Opinion Full
Strength Should Be
Centered In One Candi-
date.

The independence Party State
Committee met Wednesday night in
Wesley NJ. E. Church, Dover, and
decided not to nominate any addi-
tional candidates on the party's
State ticket. Horace G. Eastburn, of
Wilmington, presided.
The Rev. Dr. F. Burgette Short, OF
Milford, will be the only candidate
on the ticket. He was nominated
for Congress at the party's recent
State convention.
The advisability of the State
committee nominating candidates
for the Legislature in the three
counties was discussed pro and con,
! difference of opinion existed be-
! tween members of the committee on
this subject. Mr.. Eastburn denied,
however, that the difference of opin-
ion threatened a split in the party.
He said it was decided to leave the
question to the three counties COM
mittees for decision.
Some were opposed to making
any Legislature nominations con-
tending that the full strength of the
party should be exerted in behalf of
DR.. Shorts election.
At the meeting Wednesday night,
the party continued rounding out its
State organization and made prepa-
rations for its campaign. It was an
nounced that Whiting Williams,
member of the Royal Geographical
Society, former vice president OF
the Cleveland Pressed Steel Com
pany and a prominent dry, would
make three speeches in the State,
one in Dover, one in either George
town or Ocean View, Sussex county,
and one in Wilmington.
E. Frank Burris, of Houston, was
elected chairman of the Kent coun-
ty committee, with A. L. Walker.
secretary and treasurer.
The Sussex county committee was
organized Immediately after the
convention. Ralph Jones, of Lewes,
who was elected chairman, was not
present Wednesday night and Mrs. |
Howard Dickerson acted in his
place. Charles Belts, who had pre-
viously been elected secretary and
treasurer of the Sussex county COM
mittee, resigned because of person
al business obligations and Herman
Helm, of Clarksville, was elected in
his place.
The Rev. Ivanhoe Willis, pastor
of Asbury M. E. Church, Whining
ton, was elected treasurer of the
State organization.
Speaking and campaign commit
tees were named for Kent and Sus-
sex counties. Those on the commit
tee for Kent are: The Rev. Alfred
White, Mrs. E. M. Bringhurst, Cap
tain Thomas Munsey, Mrs. Ella Cor
dray and Captain John Buckson.

creasing realization that the admin
istration is not responsible for
everything that has happened. The
list of such comments is long and
significant.
There is growing appreciation
that Mr.. Hoover's fighting speech
has materially affected the campaign
situation. He has produced the first
general response from thousands of
lukewarm or undecided voters. Let
the Republicans continue the pace
he has set during the remaining
month of the campaign. The Dem
ocrats have already shown that they
do not relish this aggressive oppo-
sition.
Milford chronicle., 1932-10-14

Signs of discomfort with these tao
tics are multiplying. So are evil
dences that Mr.. Hoover's blows were
well aimed and that his program
carries much more conviction than
that of his opponent.
The New York World-Telegram,
which is pro-Roosevelt, comments
that there is basis for the Presi-
dents hot rebuke of the Democratic
party's legislative leadership. The
country might well hear more of the
same" Several Democratic newspa-
pers acknowledged the soundness
of his discussion of the national
situation. The frankly partisan
Democratic press has as yet offered
no rebuttal but abuse.
Three prominent members of the
Grange have indorsed Mr.. Hoover's
farm program in glowing terms.
Senator Frazier, the North Dakota
Insurgent, who recently announced
that he would not actively support
the President in this campaign, finds
an upward swing for Mr.. Hoover. It's
causes, he says, are dissatisfaction
over the Roosevelt speeches and in

Milford, Friday, October IA, 1882

DRIVEN on the defensive by Pres
ident Hoover's smashing attack on
their record in his speech at Des
Moines, the Democrats are hurried
ly marshaling their forces in an eff
fort to retake some of the ground
they have lost.
This is a new and striking phase
of the campaign. Hitherto, like the
summer soldiers and sunshine pa
triots of Revolutionary times, the
Democrats have preferred to fight
under consditions of their own
choosing. Their confidence and en-
thusiasm have been based very def
nitely upon the conviction that there
are enough discontented voters to
assure a Democratic victory in No
.vember. Now, with the Republicans
assuming the offensive, the Demo-
Gratis are well-nigh forced to do
something and say something that is
constructive-if they can.
The Democrats have been insisting
that the election was "in the bay"
Some of them still voice that asser-
ton. But actions speak louder than
mere words. If the Democrats are
son confident, why their hurried
summons to Jim" Reed, one of their
ablest orators, to reply to Mr.. Hoov-
er in Iowa? Is Speaker Garner still
as cocksure as when he said, 1--WE
have got this election won now, and
I'm not going to do anything to lose
it,? If so, what impelled him to
spring so quickly to the defense of
the Democratic House, when his
party has shown a desire to avoid
publicity for its record?
If sentiment against the President
is frozen" as pro-Roosevelt spokes-
men assert, why don't they ignore

Milford chronicle., 1932-10-14

IN HIS Address TO the women
of the United States, Mr.. Hoover dis
played the same aggressive and con-
structive qualities which made his
Des Moines speech to the farmers
such striking exhibition of leader
ship. Both speeches reveal a direct
ness of attack based upon thorough
comprehension of national prob
lens as well as sympathetic under
standing of the interests of particu-
lar groups.
He again showed that the main
thesis of his campaign is the issue
of conservative, constructive action
in the final stages of the depression,
as against a radicalism with which
the Democratic leadership is increas-
ingly associated in the minds of
American voters. In his address to
the women of the Nation the dis
cussion of this issue centered upon
three great tasks before the coun-
try: Recovery from depression, cor
rection of economic evils, including
prevention of business collapses, and
upbuilding of moral leadership.
In dealing with the task of recov-
cry Mr.. Hoover again made a vigor-
GUS defense of his reconstruction
program and a smashing attack
upon Democratic "pork-barrel' pro-
posals. There is abundant justitica-
tion, as a pro-Roosevelt newspaper
remarked following the Des Moines
speech, for Mr.. Hoover's "hot re-
buke of the Democratic party's legis-
lative leadership" and his Indictment
of it's record in the House was not
too severe.
In addition to outlining the meas
ures taken by his administration to
check the crisis and set forces of
recovery in motion, which are daily
proving their value, the President
presented a program for the correc-
tion of economic evils. This second
task, in his opinion, requires a re-
vision of the system of government
regulation of utilities and financial |
institutions. But such a revision, as
he points out, must not be in form |
that will destroy the basis of real
service which these enterprises rem
der to the country. Here again is
an opportunity for fair-minded vot-
efs to CONTRAST proposals made by
the President with some of the aims
of the more radical groups support
ing is opponent.
What Mr.. Hoover said about the
third task, that of upbuilding moral
and social conditions, with particu-
lar attention to security of the fam
lily and the home, is based upon a
sound philosophy that our econom-
ic life is not an end in itself, but "a
means to high and worthy life"
This emphasis upon moral, social
and spiritual values constitutes
message which is seriously needed
by the Nation.
The third point may seem remote
rom the battle-ground of politics. But
intelligent voters recognize that a
program of leadership must not be
merely sufficient unto the day in
which it is presented, but point to- .
ward a brighter and better future.
IN this respect Mr.. Hoover has rec
,rd that commends itself strongly
o all voters who have not let dis
content destroy sober judgment. ,
Milford chronicle., 1932-10-14

Something more than the sting of
Mr.. Hoovers fighting words is be-
hind these Democratic activities.
The Democrats strategy since the
beginning of this campaign has been
to keep the voters mind on his
troubles, and to endeavor to con-
vince him that the Administration
was responsible for them. So long
as this strategy seemed effective,
they could avoid taking a strong po-
sition on controversial issues and
rely on vague promises to do some
thing about national problems.
Mr.. Garner frankly declares that
he will take no stand on the bonus
question. Thus far Governor Roose-
velt has not mentioned it since his
nomination. In his only known ref
erence to it, published last April
20, he said merely that he did not
see how, "as a matter of practical
sense" the Government could "con-
slider the anticipation of bonus pay
ments until it has balanced about
any merits or dement's of such de-
mands.
Governor Roosevelt and other
Democratic spokesmen heap abuse
upon the Smoot-Hawley tariff act.
What do they propose to do with it
if they win the election? Will they
slash it's rates all along the line, as
their low-tariff brethren demand?
Or will they uphold high duties for
the protection of products of the
Northwest, the Southwest or even
the Solid South, which Democratic
Senators and Representatives put
through Congress? These spokes-
men do not say.
Milford chronicle., 1932-10-14

THE candidates who win the po-
litical campaigns are the ones who
talk most persuasively to the peo-
pie. Similarly, the business con-
Germs that are elected to success,
win out by their persuasive adver-
tising.
