Washington-As the political pot
begins to reach the boiling stage thru
out the country, it is apparent that,
instead of a dearth of tissues" over
which candidates can harangue, there
will actually be many of them. A few
short weeks ago, political leaders here
either boaster or moaned about the
lack of issues for the campaign, ac-
cording as the boaster or the moaner
was Democrat or a Republican. The
Democrats felt President Roosevelt
had been such huge success that Re-
publicans could not find vital or
vulnerable spot to attack. Republic
cans, whether they said so out loud
Or not, felt much the same way. In
the interim, however, all of this has
been changed and there surely will
be a red hot campaign during the
coming summer and fall months. Il
Looking over the situation, one
sees as probable points of controv-
ersy such things as the air mail con-
tract cancellation; the charges that
the "New DeaP' has overridden the
Constitution of the United States;
the devaluation of the dollar and the
profit-taking in which the treasury
thereafter engaged through the seiz-
ure of all gold; the encroachment of
the federal government upon business
itself thru MIRA and the scores of adj
ministrations and commissions that
have been set up; the proposal to re-
wise the method of electing the Pres
ident, and the use of taxpayers
money in development of such plans
as the Tennessess Valley authority,
to mention a few of them.
But it seems to me that the most
important issue of all is only now
coming to the surface. Succinctly, it
Is whether the voters desire to have
the various New Deal items made a
permanent part of our national gov
ernmental structure.
1t is to be recalled that virtually all
of the items of the New Deal have
been put through congress as emery
ency legislation. Some of them have
been tested in courts on constitu-
tional basis and have been upheld as
emergency laws. But it is necessary
to think of the pronouncements by
President Roosevelt almost directly
asserting his intention to make them
permanent. Otherwise they would ex-
pire in June, 1885, little more than a
year from now. The expiration date
furnishes the basis for the issue that
appears to be so important.
The 435 members of the house of
representatives and the 35 senators
who are up for election this fall will
have been reelected or defeated eight
months in advance of the time when
the decision must be made on contin-
uation of the New Deal items that
were enacted as emergency laws. Con-
gress, made up of the reelected or
new members, will conven in tn first
week of January, 1885. That will be
the congress to decide what the
course shall be. It cannot dodge the
question. If the President requests
that the emergency laws be made per-
manent, and he says he will, the new
congress either will do his bidding
and re-enact the laws he desires or it
will kill them off by it's refusal to
act.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, July 13
Q.N.S0.-Frank Martin, trusty
guard at the Jacksonville Prison

degree murder here today as the
result of his killing Helen Spence

HATS OVERFLOW
POLITICAL RING

BALTIMORE, July 13.-Candi-
dates for both Republican and
Democratic nominations to State
and county posts are beginning
to fill the political ring with hats
thrown from various portions Of
the State.
Judge Robert F. Stanton, sole
Republican member of the su-

land K. Adams, Democrat. also
is seeking one of the three vacant
posts on the bench.
A slate of candidates for the

G. o. P. leaders. Joseph S. Bige-

Dinner at night is an important
event. Many of the cottage resi-
dents dine at the excellent res
taurants or hotels. At the larger
hotels, the guests observe the
evening meal as opportunity for
a bit of formality which has been
abandoned during the day.
Promenading along the Great
White Way" sporting at the con-
ceSsionS and games of skill and
chance, attending the cinema at
the modern local theater, and
dancing to the two good orches-
tras are few of the attractions
enjoyed at night. After dancing,
many enjoy a midnight snack or
swimming party.

COURT IS GIVEN
8 VERSIONS
Of Staying

TOMS RIVER, N. j., July 13.
Three different versions Of how
Mike Dries, Trenton bootlegger,
was killed, were placed in evi'
dence here at the trial Of the
three youths accused of the slay-
ing.
The contradictory accounts Of
the killing came from statements
which the defendants, Donald
Tremper, %. of Maplewood. N. j.;
James Duncan. 21, of Point Pleas
ant, N. j., and Walter r. Bennett,
21, of Waretown, N. j., gave to
State police and prosecutors
aides.
The statements were alike in
one particular. Each defendant
protested his innocence and sought
to place blame on the other two.
Tremper, son of a well-to-do
manufacturer, denied all connec.
ton with the August /, 1888,
killing. He said he was asked by
Duncan to help him "shellac"
Dries for hi-jacking liquor. He
said he refused.
Tremper said Duncan and Ben
nett asked him to join a scheme
to flood Ocean and Monmouth
counties with counterfeit ten-dol-
lar bills.
The two, he continued, invited
him to join an arson ring in Nor
1is county. He refused again. he
said, after a conference with Byer,
Bolitho, Duncan and Bennett.
Duncan asserted that on the
day Dries was slain, near Barne-
gat, he went with Tremper and
Bennett. Their car was driven to
q lonely road. There, Duncan
said, he was put out and the other
two drove into the woods with
Dries.

Considering the summer season
here as a string of firecrackers
and the Fourth of July as a
lighted fuse, the explosion over
the holiday has started what
promises to be one of the gayest
seasons that Colonial Beach ever
has known.
Visitors have been arriving in
large numbers for the past six
weeks "by land and by sea-" The
comfortable excursion steamer
Potomac" made its first trip on
the Fourth, bringing down 1,100
passengers. It is scheduled to run
four times a week. Others are ar
riving by Peninsula buses, by the
Pennsylvania Railroad to Pope's
Creek and across the river by
ferry, in motor cars, and on pri-
vate yachts.
Varied Sports Provided
Almost all the cottages on the
Peninsula, and in Classic Shore.
are open, and the many hotels re.
port more guests than they have
entertained for several years.
Bridge and garden game tourna-
ments are being sponsored by sew
eral hotels; tennis and bicycling,
too, are popular.
The morning hours pass quickly.
A fleet of trim fishing yachts,
with experienced captains on duty,
leaves the local docks at 4:30
a. m. and 9 a. m. for the fishing
ground about five miles out. Pas
sengerS are carried reasonably and
comfortably and their catches
have been splendid recently. Hard
head, spot, and perch have been
plentiful, with an occasional good
run of trout and bluefish. Crab.
bing is a prominent morning oc'
cupation.
For the horseman, the Fal-
mouth Riding and Hunt Club
maintains a handsome string Of
mounts at it's stables here. A cap
able riding master is in attend
ance. when desired, at no extra
fee.
Historic Places Near
The historical shrines in the
vicinity of Colonial Beach are par
ticularly popular and convenient
for a short tour. "Wakefield," the
birthplace of Washington, and
"Stratford," the birthplace of Lee,
have recently been restored to
their former beauty, and are only
Is minutes away. The birthspotS
of Monroe and Madison are only
a short distance, and IL miles
away on the Rappahannock River
is Leedstown, home of the impor-
tant Deedstown Declarations Of
Revolutionary fame.
After luncheon, the beach i'm
mediately becomes the scene Of
action. Bright umbrellas and
suits add color to the natural
beauty Of the white beach and
the river. Swimming, sun bath
ing, beach games, and boating be,
come the things to do. Speed
boats whiz by. taking passengers
for rides.
The private floats and piers are
nuclei for those who enjoy aquatic
sports. Many Of the beach par
ties adjourn to one Of the "bieI
gartens" or sidewalk restaurants
for beer and fresh sea food. s.

drunk each night
He accuses Governor Herring OF
kinship with Upton Sinclair OF CAL
ifornia in sponsoring state social
ism"
The big surprise Of the campaign
is that it is being fought almost en-
tirely on state issues. Except for
relief 49, which Republicans assert is
not an issue-the G. o. P. has
stunned the New Deal" despite re-
peated hammering by Governor
Herring for an outspoken commit
ment. Republicans are silent con-
corning cOrn-hog checks Of s75,OOG,-

The Democratic reelection plea
is primarily a record Of accomplish
ment: establishment Of an old age
pension system which went into ef-
feet today; creation of state liquor
control: reduction of state depart
ments to rigid budgets; economy,
and passage OF a tax plan which
assessed a sales tax and levied indl-
vidual and corporate income taxes,
thus offsetting property taxation to
such an extent that there will be no
state levy for 1885 and none for the
last six months of this year.
Little attention has been paid to
four minor parties. Prohibition,
Farmer-Labor, Socialist and Com
munist. all of which have qualified

will poll the highest of the four,
but will be lucky to get $4,000 votes.
