" killed Thursday afternoon while
playing in a lumber yard. The
boy, with six others, was swinging
on a pile loading outfit when a big
iron ring gave way and fell. Har-
rington was struck on the head
and killed. Physicians were call
ed, but the boy was dead when
they reached him.

They're picking ripe tomatoes
off the vines in Sussex county as
all records for mild weather are
broken. According to those who
keep records, December 1881 will
be recorded as one winter month
when the ground has not been COW
cred with snow. The season has
been SO open that in many sections
grass has taken on a green ap-
pearance and fruit buds have
started out again.

While the number of charters
filed for the month of December
has not been compiled, it is thought
that they will equal if not surpass
any other month of last year. The
largest number filed during the
year was in March, with 426. The
smallest number filed during the
year was in September, with 282.

for an improved system of school

IN 1896. AND 1882

Depression was extensively capita
lized in the campaign of 1896, but not
by the Republicans. 1t was taken
over by William j. Bryan, who es-
poused the free coinage of silver as
the paramount issue and offered it as
the cure for the hard times. The is
sue of free silver smashed party lines.
There were silver Republicans and
gold Democrats. The gold Democrats
had ticket of their own. The silver
Republicans went along with Bryan.
So incorporating were the sound
money Democrats that in the conven-
ton that nominated Bryan, 1852 dele
gates refused to vote, because of the
platform declaration on money, and
they sat unrecorded through the five
ballots necessary to nominate.
Bryan, through his impassioned ap-
peals to the unemployed, to all who
had suffered from business reverses,
and his specious arguments in favor
of bimetallism, gave the sober-think-
ing people of the country one of the
greatest scares of our history. For
weeks before election it was predicted
that he would sweep the country with

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1932-10-27
POINTS IN THE CAMPAIGN

On points the Republicans have the
best of it so far in the national polit-
ical campaign. President Hoover
stands for certain concrete things in
governmental policies, while his oppo-
nents has failed to make positive
statement upon any national issue,
except prohibition.
President Hoover's few addresses
have been far meatier than Roose-
velt's many. President Hoover's ac-
complishments in Office are far more
important comparatively, than the ac-
complishments of Governor Roosevelt
in office.
President Hoover's conception of
the probabilities of the job are
away beyond those of Roosevelt's.
The presidents deliberate effort to
avoid anything like false promises, or
vote catching phrases must strike
those people informed on the subject
of world depression as being more
full of promise than .Roosevelt's gen
eralities.
Former President Coolidge has
spoken more ably than any spokes-
man for Roosevelt. Secretary of the
Treasury Mills has given his audience
truer picture of affairs than has
emanated from the Democratic camp.
The President has stood by his
guns, has taken responsibility for his
errors and has presented himself to
the people for what he is. Roosevelt,
the man who in three years ran up
New York States expenses 100000
900, has tried to spread the implica-
ton that he is fitted to effect econom-
les in government.
Hoover has refused to compromise
himself or his principles by tacitly al
lying himself with contradictory ele-
ments. Roosevelt has actively sought
the support of two such antipodal
classes as those represented by Al
Smith and William McAdoo.
Of the two, Hoover has been by far
the most consistent and the most
solid. Roosevelt has tried being all
things to all people.
And Hoover, despite the fact that
many may not agree with his position
on various questions, has at least
taken a position, and that, after all,
puts him ahead and shoulders above
his opponent, who has taken none.
