KENT DEMOCRATS
HAVE PLATFORM IDEAS
Want Single Board To Control All
Expenditures OF State Funds

The Kent County Boosters Club
has not approved of all the platform
drawn up by the committee of the
Democratic State Committee. and has
prepared several strong recommen-
datiOns of its own.
Among the recommendation are
the creation of one State Board or
Commission to control all expendi-
lures of State funds devoted tc
welfare work, charities and correc-
tional institutions: reduction of the
cost of State government; preven-
ton of further increase of needless
political jobs; maintenance of the
school funds for education only. and
complete reform of all election laws.
The club also recommended that
the natural advantages of Delaware
be properly utilized as a highly i'm
portant and profitable enterprise.
ReforestatiOn of land not suited for
crop growing purposes and drainage
OF crop land. now in need of drain
age, and the conversion of existing
ponds and ponds which have washed
out into suitable recreational loca-
tions as work relief, were urged.

sented payments from the govern
ment for crop reduction under the
agricultural adjustment program.
No money was paid out in Delaware
in the hog slaughter program.
The department put the total cash
income of Delaware farmers for
1882 at $9,964.000 and for 1881 at
s13,619,O 900. The cash income of the
States farms in the first year OF
the operation of the AAA was
therefore slightly below that Of the
previous year and about S4,00O,OOO
below that of 1881.
OF the total cash income for 1888,

LIBERTY LEAGUE

The American Liberty League has
selected Delaware as the State in
which to launch its national drive
for 5000, 900 to 100000 members
before the opening of the next Con-
gTess. - =
p, The league, avowedly non-parti-
san, and intent upon weighing the
various phases of the New Deal,
will in the next few days organize
the Delaware branch under the lead
ership of Captain William H. Stay
ton. formerly of Smyrna and leader
in the fight against prohibition.
Irenee dupont is a founder of the
league together with Alfred E.
Smith, John W. Davis, James w.
Wadworth and Nathan L. Miller.
Jouett Shouse. the former chairman
of the Democratic National Execu-
tive Committee and president of the
Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment, is president of the ma
tional league.
The league. according to its foun-
ders. will act in defense of the U. S.
Constitution. And because Delaware
was the first State to ratify the
Constitution. the founders believe
the State should logically be the
first to organize under the league
and thus be the first to come to the
defense of the Constitution.

last Sunday, Aug. 26th, for the pic
mic sponsored by Hope Chapter No.

the night before and clouded skies
considerably reduced the number of
those attending, but by 1 o'clock the
pier and boardwalk were well filled
with visitors. Through the efforts
of S. G. Pierce, of the Bay View
Hotel. ,the guests were given the
courtesy of free admission to the
pier. Here many enjoyed watching
the fishing and the boat racing which
took place in the afternoon. Because
of the overcast sky arrangements
were made with DR.. Beebe, through
Hance Chamberlain, well-known resi-
dent of Lewes. to use the Ocean
Hotel, which is not open this year,
as a headquarters. Some of the
visitors ate their lunches on the
porch of the hotel, while others pre-
