G. O. P. LEADER ASSAILS
NEW DEAL AT DOVER
[Conf,nned Irom Ffrsf FaaeI

Senator White said: They have a
planned economy in Russia, Ger
many and Italy. One thing is COM
mon to them all that is, dictator
ship"
AS a result of mounting public
debt, he asserted, each man. woman
and child in Delaware must bear a
debt of $3.50. The daily expenditures
of the government, he said, have
mounted from 100000 in July,
1888, to $32 100000 in January. 1884.
He estimated the national debt as
$32 100000.
The principals of the Republican
party Senator White defined as fol-
lows:
"The Republican party would give
to the people of America such econ
Omy in expenditure as is consistent
with the nations obligation to those
in distressful circumstances. We
would maintain at all hazards a
sound currency. That is common
honesty; that is good business. We
would maintain the nations credit
with the people of the world and
with our own. We would have the
nation keep faith with its citizens
and honor its obligations. We would
maintain a protective tariff. We

ernment has an annual expenditure
of about $12.OOOO0O for the protec-
tion and replacement of wild life in
this country. This vast amount of
money is being spent on this pro-
gram because of the great interest
which so many people have in hunt
ing and fishing, and also for the rea-
son that it is necessary to maintain
the propagation of all forms of wild
life to make these sports possible.
Following the explanation of the
work of the fish and game commits
sion, Mr.. Foster showed two reels
of motion pictures which were taken
of the various bodies of water in
Delaware that are stocked with fish,
and the woodlands which are used
for hunting.
Ronald Joseph, guest of Harry C.
Evans, was the only visitor at the
meeting. Singing during the supper
hour was led by Leonard Schwarz,
song leader of the club.

trict Supreme Court yesterday by

The Nationalists opposed his pro-

caused the fall of Won BApen, and in

LANCER SENTENCE
REOPENS FIGHT
Custer Proceedings Based
on Outcome of Felony
Charges.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associa ted Press.
FARGO, N. Oak. June 30.-A new
move to oust Gov. william LANCER
from office, based on his conviction
of a felony and subsequent sentence
to serve 18 months in a Federal
penitentiary, was under way today by
counsel for Lieut.. Gov. Ole Olson.
Olson claims he now is the legal chief
executive of North Dakota.
Counsel for Olson; who took the
oath as Governor shortly after LANCER
was convicted June II with four CO.
defendants for soliciting funds from
Federal relief workers, prepared today
to offer a petition to the State Su-
preme Court asking permission to be-
gin removal proceedings.
Previous Request Refused.
A previous request by Olson sup
porters for the Supreme Court to take
original jurisdiction in proceedings
seeking Langer's custer was refused
by the high court "at this time" The
case ordinarily would have to be
started in District Court.
Supporters of Olson claim Langers
conviction of a felony disqualified him
to act further as Governor. LANCER
contends he has the right to retain
the ofice-an opinion seconded by
the States attorney general, a LANCER
supporter-until final disposition Of
the case An immediate appeal to the
United States Circuit Court of Ap-
peals ana, if necessary. to the United
States Supreme Court is contemplated
by the chief executive.
Also Fined $4,000.

eral Judge Andrew Miller came two
Gays after the State primary election.
in which the chief executive was re-
nominated overwhelmingly over two
Republican opponents Besides the
prison term, LANCER was ordered to
pay a $4,000 fine.
In passing sentence, Judge Miller
said. mo honest jury would return a
different verdict The verdict
leaves this court with nothing to do
but to impose a sentence as an ad-
judgement of the court to deter Others
from committing a like crime against

SECRETARIES HEAR
TALK BY AUTHOR
Mrs. Keyes Gives Graduates
Recipe for Success
in Business.

The secretary who wishes to dis
tinguish herself in secretarial work
must be willing to plan her working
hours to fit the needs of employers,
Mrs Frances Parkinson Keyes ad-
vised the graduating class of the
Washington School for Secretaries at
commencement exercises in the Press
Club Auditorium last night.
Mrs. Keyes. noted author and wife
of Senator Keyes of New Hampshire,
agreed that every one has right to
certain amount of leisure time, but
those secretaries who succeed as such
are not the ones who refuse to work
beyond the usual business day A
living can be earned by working regu-
lar hours, she said, but if position is
to amount to a great deal there must
be a merging of time with that of
the employer, she said.
Mrs. Keyes referred to Miss Marga-
ret Hensey, secretary to Col Theodore
Roosevelt for the past IA years as
the perfect secretary" Mrs. John
Nance Garner and Mrs Henry T
Rainey also were cited as outstand-
ing examples of secretaries.
