The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1936-10-29
DEMOCRATS WILL WIN BY
VOTING FOR LANDON-

The Republicans are looking
forward to winning this year.
Democrats will win also this
year by voting for Landon, Real
Democrats, mean.
This same statement was
made several weeks ago in this
paper, and we emphasize it again
today.
Many Democrats in this coun-
ty are of that belief, even those
high up in the ranks of the party.
For proof of that we have only
to learn a little about the man
who seems to be running the
Roosevelt publicity and cam
paign in this county.
The name is Charles E. Hoye,
a most likable man, but he has
gotten off on the wrong foot.
On the official registration
books Of Garrett county. he is
registered as an Independent. He
has stated that before coming to
the county from California he
was a follower of the Sinclair
menace. "h
We take it from that no real
Democrats want to take the re-
sponsibility of campaigning
around here for the New Dealers
and rabble rousers.
They are making themselves
as inconspicuous as possible.
They are as much against the
Roosevelt policies as Republi-
cans, but cannot say so publicly.
We also might mention some
national figures who are real JEFF
fersonian Democrats and have
been for many years.
For the first time. in history,
two former candidates for Pres
ident on the Democratic ticket
have openly and at length criti-
cized the New Dealers (they
don't call them Democrats any
more) for the wholesale viola
ton of the Democratic platform
of 1882, the attacks on the Con-
stitution and other un-American
policies led by Mr.. Roosevelt and
backed by his Rubber Stamp Con-
gress.
There are others prominent in
Democratic ranks who have come
out openly against the reelection
of Roosevelt. ..,}
The Baltimore Sun and many
other Democratic newspapers in
all parts of the country have
openly declared why they cannot
support the New DealAbecause
it is far from Democratic in
form-more like the Socialist or
Communist platform, they aver.
According to their own state
ments these men and newspapers
are putting country above party.
They feel that in voting for
and supporting Landon they will
preserve the Constitution, the
real Democratic party and have
a part in pushing the spenders,
the planners, the "rabble rous-
ers" out of the White House.
Yes, Democrats as we'll as Re-
publicans will win this Year by
voting for and electing Landon
and Knox, Republican candidates
for President and Vice-Presi-
dent, and for Harry w. LeGore,
Republican candidate for Rep
resentative.

complish the purpose for which it was
adopted, and in many instances has
proven hindrance. It has been practi-
cally abolished so far as National
banks are concerned, as National
banks organized under the present
Federal laws do not have double liabil-
ity and it will be abolished as to all
after July 1, 1887. The proposed
amendment simply aims to put State
banks on the same footing as National
banks, and this should be done.
All of these amendments should
have the support of the voters of Gar

utilities was held in the Government
auditorium with C. j. Goodnough oi
the Pennsylvania Public Service Com.
mission presiding.
Numerous papers tracing the back
ground Of public and private utility
development in many nations were
used as the basis Of yesterdays debate
but the speakers Of the afternoon
directed their remarks most pointedly
at the holding company principle en-
ployed so extensively here.
Financial Practices Criticized.
AS a springboard for discussing this
issue, the conference had before i,
papers of contrasting content from
Judge Robert F. Healy, counsel fol
the Securities and Exchange Com
mission, and J. F. Fogarty, president
of the North American Co.
Criticizing the holding companies
for their financial practices, Judge
Healy sounded the warning that they
should devote themselves more to the
production and sale of gas and elec.
tricity and less to the sale Of securities
The financial and corporate structure
of some Of the companies stands in
striking contrast, he said, to the
engineering achievement of the sys-
TENS. Permanent success Of the pri.
vate industry, he concluded, depend!
much upon its freeing itself from
financial manipulators.
Pioneering Efforts Lauded.
Fogarty paid tribute to the holding
companies for their influence in de.
veloping utilities in earlier days when
capital was timid and difficult to at.
tract. There Is little possibility, he
said, that the entire industry will fall
into the hands of a single group.
During verbal discussion Of the
issue, most vigorous defense Of the
holding companies came from MAJ
Frederick Horn, Government com.
missioner for Belgium and a director
in standing of Sofina, one Of Europe's
largest holding companies. Horn de-
clared that abuses which have de-
veloped do not justify condemnation
of the holding company principle and
expressed regret at the implied con-
demnation found in the holding COM
pany act Of 1885. He expressed conf
dence. however, that in its administra-
ton the act will protect well-organized
and well-managed public utilities.

Edison Electric Institute and president
of the Virginia Electric g. Power Co.
presided at one Of the meetings yes

Beckford, vice president and general
manager Of the Columbia Gas g.
Electric Corp, was conducting ses-
sion considering problems peculiar to

Gov. Antonio Ortega, municipal
official, was declared to have dis
patched hundreds of anarchists to the
front line defenses to prevent them
from carrying out their threats to
burn the city to prevent its downfall
to the Fascists.
Leaders Of the diplomatic movement,
meanwhile, also were considering Q
request from Madrid that they return
to their regular embassies in the cap
ital. Their decision, they said, rested
with their respective governments.

Guarantees Of protection to en-

Alvarez del Vayo, new Spanish min

the diplomats every precaution would
be taken to prevent incidents which
might be interpreted as infringing
upon the inviolability Of the diplomatic
stations as recognized by international
law.
French Planes In Air.
French planes were ordered into the
air at Hendaye to warn away" gov

The French aviation orders were dis

were placed in cofins preparatory to

There have been reports that food

Senator Clyde Pepper and Senator

November instead of January 3, so
this gives them seniority right in
the matter of seat choice over the
newly elected Senators. Likewise
they will outrank the others with re-
spect to committee assignment prefer
ences. Representative Gillette, ap-
pointed to succeed Senator Murphy,
who was killed in an automobile acci-

The term Cherokee strip" as ap-
piled to the Senate chamber grew out
OF its historical significance as land
which belonged neither to Indian Ter
ritory nor to the State. In the Six
tieth Congress it was necessary to
assign 10 Republican Senators to the
Democratic side of the chamber, and in
the Sixty-fourth Congress one Demo-
cratic Senator, Senator Thomas Tag

Democrats Lack Room.
The present arrangement that has
been tentatively decided upon is to
switch back this last row of nine
seats to the Republican side of the
aisle and augment it with three others
on the Republican side, so that IL
Democrats will be sitting next ses-
sion on the Republican side of the
chamber. This has been necessary,
as it would be practically impossible
to place enough seats on the Demo-
cratic side to take care of all Demo-
Gratis, and such an arrangement would
leave that aisle crowded to the walls
with a glaring vacancy and plenty OF
space available on the Republican
side. Everybody agrees that so obvi-

Gus division Of the parties would
not only throw the appearance OF
the Senate chamber out of balance,
but would constitute a lack of good
taste.
The question then arose as to which
Democrats would occupy seats among
the Republicans, but this did not
present as many diffculties as might
be supposed, a traditional system gov
erning a Senator's choice.
The system of assigning seats in
the Senate chamber is based on
seniority, but even such a system can
grow complicated when special pref
erences, requirements by appointment
and other considerations enter the
picture. As a general thing, however.
Biffie states, Senators are very tract
able in the matter and ready to con-
form to whatever is suggested under
the seniority system.
There can only be change Of seat
in the Senate when a vacancy occurs
by death, retirement or defeat. In
this Congress, for example, Senator
Duncan U. Fletcher's death left a
most desirable seat available for the
next in line. The late Senator
FIetcher's desk was the first on the
aisle, always a choice location, in
the second row.

Senator Ellison D. Smith was the

Florida Senator's desk was offered to
him, but as he did not care to move
onto the aisle it was reproffered to

titled to second choice. Senator Ash
urst, who already occupies an aisle
seat, likewise declined. Next in point
