Trio Enter Claims to Wine
As Oldest District Democrat

the Orphans Court in Upper Marl-
boro, Md, for many years, says he got
the Democratic habit in the District
and has been voting it ever since in
Maryland.
He seemed to feel about the same
way as Mr.. Combs about parades, but
allowed as how he could take on a
bottle of wine any old time.
First candidate for the Nominators'
award showed up yesterday in the
sprightly person of Richard F. Bicker-
ton, IS, native and lifelong resident
of the District. Mr. Bickerton voted
Democratic in 1872 and thinks he
ought to be allowed to vote somehow
in 1886. He also pleaded guilty to
some modesty about parades, but
showed no reluctance in his interest
in the bottle of wine.

Three candidates today tossed their
hats into the ring for the distinction
of being oldest Democratic voters in
the District and were prepared to
climb in themselves to defend their
claims.
Their immediate objective in each
case was to capture the bottle of

youngsters" was born in st. Marys

1t was not established definitely
whether he did his first Democratic
voting in 1871 or 1872, District elec-

YOUNG G. 0. P.
ADVISED TO Be
INDEPENDENT
National Chairman Makes
Appeal in Third Talk at
Columbia Club.

Young Republicans of Indiana
today are seeking independence in
action, following an appeal last
night by George Olmstead of Iowa,
national organization chairman. II
was the third Of series of adj
dresses at the Columbia Club.
Leadership in the liberal ranks
dictated by the national committee
will fail to achieve its purpose, he
said. He charged that James A.
Farley, national Democratic chair
man, had SO dominated that party's
young organization that he had
created "stooges" who are inef-
fective.
America today is at the cross
roads" Mr. Olmstead said. In our
country up until 1882 we had no
class consciousness. There was only
a vague belief that our economic
system was unjust and political
tyranny was unknown.
"'Citizen' Is Forgotten Word"
To-day our governmental leaders

rich, the poor, the laborer, the
farmer, the white-collared worker
We never hear the word citizen
THE vague belief that economic
injustice existed is much less vague
and the injustices are more appar-
ent now and have increased since
1882.
To-day our government is reach
ing farther into our daily lives and
political tyranny bids fair to be
again the great political issue. If we
follow blindly the old and mellow
politicians of the New Deal, or of
the old order we are doomed for
the wilderness"
Mr.. Olmstead was introduced by
John K Ruckelshaus, program COM
mittee chairman.
