liquor board is going to crack
down" on liquor dealers who VIC
late the law in the future, it was
announced by members Of the
board after their meeting in the
county court house in Upper Marl-
boro yesterday.
James s. Heal, clerk Of the
county commissioners, said the
board was getting tired Of excus-
ing with a reprimand liquor
dealers" who violate the law. He
said:
1--WE have made every effort
to be fair in this matter and
have tried to be lenient with
violatOrs in the hope that
dealers would stick to the law
Of their OWE accord. We have
found, however, that they only
take advantage Of our leniency.
From now on we will enforce
the law to the letter. First of.
tenders win get the same pun
ishment they would If they were
third or fourth offenders"
The application Of William s.
Loveless for a beer license at the
Showboat, a new establishment
on the Baltimore Boulevard near
Muirkirk, Md, was rejected by
the board on the grounds that the
applicant was not the manager
of the establishment.

NEW YORK, Sept. A.-WlInam
Lemke, Union party candidate for
President, joined yesterday with
Norman Thomas, Socialist candi-
date for President, in charging
active Communist support has
been thrown to President Roose-
velt in his fight for reelection.
Addressing 5000 women at the
Herald Tribune forum, Lemke con-
cluded with this ringing challenge:
81 do not charge that the
President of the Nation Is a
Communist, but l do charge that
BrOwder, DubinSky and other
Communist leaders have laid
their cuckoo eggs in his Demo
cratic nest and that he is hatch
ing them.
"The American people demand
that he roll those eggs out Of the
Democratic party"
REPEATS CHARGE
For the second time in two days,
the Socialist candidate for Presi'
dent charged Communists have
Joined with Democrats in frantic
efforts to keep Gov. Landon out
of the White House. He asserted
Earl Browder, Communist candi,
date, has become a Democratic
campaign aide. He said:
"BrOwder heads ticket, but
here in New York, a great many
of his party, at his direction, are
working in q labor party which
Is explicitly pledged to ROOsc-
welt and Lehman"
He denied William Randolph
Hearst is correct 'in attaching a
Socialist or Communist label to
President Roosevelt" but added
that Browder's fight "iS against
Landon, and his campaign gives
indirect aid to Roosevelt, although
for reasons and under conditions
quite different from those stated
by Mr.. Hearst"
BrOwder Speaks
From the same platform, few
minutes later, Browder admitted
that I'VE Communists support
fully" the Farmer-Labor party
which he said, is supporting the
reelection of Roosevelt. He de,
clared:
THE camp of progress, Of the
peoples mass organizations, Of
the Farmer-LabOr party, is still
not fully formed, has not COM
pletely won its political indepen-
dence, and is supporting the re-
election of Roosevelt, while re-
fuSing to indOrSe the Democratic
party.
"We Communists support fully
the building of this Independent
political force of the people,
this Farmer-LabOr party move
ment, even while we agree with
its determination to defeat Lam
don and Knox as the represent
atives of Wall Street, reaction,
faSciSm and war"
In further explanation Of the
Communist attitude, Mr.. Browder
continued:
HC NOIuHlulAlSS party AS
campaigning, first of all, with
the aim to help bring all pro-
greSSive people and their Organi-
cations into a peoples front
against Wall Street, against re-
action, faSciSm and war, in q
new political alignment-the
Farmer-LabOr party.
SEES MISTAKE
"Despite the fact that the
prOgresSives in their great ma
jOrity have decided to rely upon
Roosevelt nationally this year
a decision which we think was
a miStake-yet inevitably they
are moving in the direction Of
a Farmer-LabOr party on local,
State and national scale, which
will soon be one Of the first
parties Of the land.
1--WE Communists are support
ing, we are a part of, this
Farmer-LabOr movement, pre-
serving our Independent role in
the presidential elections"

Lemlke Declares

Attacking both major parties
Browder declared President Roose
velt has tried to take a middle
of.the-road course" and has sat
isfied neither the conservatives
nor progressives. He said:
"In the Solid South, traditional
base of the Democratic party,
the ruling class still votes Dem
Ocratic but already prays Re-
publican. In the border States,
the wealthy best families march
openly into the LandOn camp
bearing the banner of Jeffer-
son. The Democratic party is
n house divided, two souls
struggling for possession of one
body, a political Hamlet moving
inexOrably to its tragic end"
DANGEROUS WORD"
Thomas declared that the wore
"fasciSm" is being used with
dangerous inaccuracy," assert
ing:
Both Roosevelt and LandOn
have been called Fascist" and
neither of them Is a Fascist. 1
was one of the first to warn Of
a real danger of fasciSm in
America, a fascism which will
call itself by another name.

ity a large section of American

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-n q
unique political meeting, John D.
Ham lton, Republican national
chairman, and James A. Farley,
Dem ocratic national chairman
proclaimed the virtues Of their
party platforms before an audi,
ence of 5000 women at the Her
ald-Tribune Forum on current
problems yesterday.
Hamilton declared the Repub-
ncan platform is IAN attempt by
the freely chosen delegates at
Cleveland to put into concrete
form the ideas of millions Of our
people"
He said:
ESSENTIAL TO WELFARE
"The document stresses the
devotion of the party to the in
stitutiOns of Self-gOvernment,
not because Of any academic in
terest in those institutions but
because of a conviction that
their maintenance, unimpaired,
is essential to the welfare and
continued freedom Of every man,
woman and child in this cOun-
try"
He said the platform emphasizes
the all Importance of the issues OF
unemployment, relief and security
Declaring the only permanent solu'
ton of the employment problem Is
absorption of the unemployed by
industry and agriculture, he as,
serted:
ut is pledged to bring about
the accomplishment of this by
preserving free competition and
equality of opportunity, not only
against the unfair competition
and unequal opportunity arising
from private monopoly, but
against encrOachment of indi-
vidual freedom and individual
initiative by government itself.
''It would lift from private en-
terpriSe the StranglehOld that
had developed during an admin
StratiOn which seeks to allocate
to itself a control Of enterprise
and the launching of initiative"
Mr.. Farley opened his address
with a defense against the com.
mon charge that the Democratic
party has Strayed from its plat.
form of 1882.
Farley's Defense
Farley said:
81 wonder if those who find
fault with the Administration,
because it has not been 100 per
cent perfect in every detail Of
its vast effort, ever stop to
think what would have hap
pened to this country of ours if
we had waited to check and
prove every measure of relief,
recovery and reform before
acting. Something had to be
dOne-nOt next year or next
month but now.
1T was better to make mis-
takes and remedy them when
the error was discovered.
1T was better even to go
ahead under acts that the Su-
preme Court later found to be
beyond the strict limits of the
Constitution than to have drifted
along as the country had been
drifting until complete disaster
made recovery impossible"

devote their entire time to the work of our organization, surely the work must be worthwhile.
 When the delegates return to their respective homes, after at tending the convention and after hearing the reports of all of the various committees of the Depart ment, as well as the reports of each unit, they give report of the ac- complishments of the Department and begin the work with renewed interest and enthusiasm.
 The convention now in session is the fourteenth annual convention of the American Legion Auxiliary in Alaska. Following is the list of towns and the years in which such conventions have been held: 1923, Anchorage; 1924, Sitka; 1925, Fair banks; 1926, Wrangell; 1927, Cor dova; 1928, Ketchikan; 1929, Ju- neau; 1880, Anchorage; 1881. Pet ersburg; 1892, Fairbanks; 1883. Cor dova; 1884, Ketchikan and 1885, Seward.
 The American Legion Auxiliary, Department of Alaska, has exceeded the quota of 378 members, assigned by National, by 43 percent, as it now has 545 paid up members. Our work is rapidly increasing and each year we have additional burdens to carry. Every eligible woman or girl should be member of this im- portant organization.
 May the 1886 Convention in Ju- neau, the Capital City of Alaska. be a grand success!
