DEMOCRATS PUT
UP FULL TICKET
Jane HI. Hughes, Dover, For
u. S. Senator and r.. c.
McMullin, Governor
AVERT DELEGATE BOLT

lC DShlOSA dIo LII SldlC SOlINC
tion at Dover, Tuesday, presented
a united front and nominated a
full state ticket to be presented to
the voters of Delaware at the COM
ing general election in November
Unlike the Republican convention
candidates, swallowed their disap-
pointments and for the sake of
peace and harmony, got in back of
a united ticket. The ticket nomi-
mated is: Presidential electors
Henry t. Graham, New Castle
County.
DR.. G. M. Wharton, Kent County.
Andrew J.Lynch, Sussex County
us. Senator-James H. Hughes,
Dover.
Governor Richard c. McMullen,
Wilmington.
Representative in Congress Will
liam F. Allen, Seaford.
Lieutenant governor = Edward
w. Cooch, Cooch's Bridge.
State Treasurer Ernest c.
Blackstone, Millsboro.
State Auditor-James w. Wise,
Dover.
What seemed at the start to be
wrangling convention was
brought to a peace move by candi-
dates swallowing their disappoint-
ment and getting in back of one
united ticket. jaime H. Hughes of
Dover. was made the candidate for
United States Senator; Richard c.
McMullen of Wilmington, the can
didate for governor, and William
F. Allen of Seaford, the candidate
for Congress. Exercising political
strategy, leaders of the party, in
the closing minutes of the conclave
succeeded in pacifying all factions.
They averted the threat of a bolt
that had been openly voiced earlier
in the day, brought about unity
among the contending forces, and
finally engineered unanimous
vote in the convention for the en-
tire list of nominees. In addition
to the three places at the head of
the ticket. they nominated Edward
w. COoch of Cooch's Bridge as
candidate for acknowledgement
after he had failed to win nomina-
tion for governor for which he had
been a candidate in a three-corner-
ed fight with Mr. McMullen and
Henry r. Iaacs of Wilmington. AL
lens nomination for Congress was
the result of the peace move. 1t
was brought about by the surpris-
ing strength which he had display
ed in his contest with Mr.. Hughes
for the nomination for United Stat
es Senate. Although Allen said
emphatically that if he did not
win the nominee for the Senate, his
name would not be on the ticket,
he reconsidered at the urging of
leaders from all sections and
agreed to accept the Congressional
nomination. His one proviso was
that his selection for Congress
must be unanimous. This came
near disrupting the peace negotia-
tions, but, after separate caucuses,
delegates from the various dis
tricts agreed to throw their sup
port to him. Ernest c. Blackstone
of Millsboro was made the candi-
date for state treasurer and James
w. Wise of Dover for state auditor.
electors were nominat-
ed as follows: New Castle County,
Henry t. Graham, Wilmington;
Kent County, DR.. c. M. Wharton
Of Dover, who previously had been
defeated in the contest for senator,
and Sussex County, Andrew ].

three years" With that as a motif he
rang the changes on three long years"
of the Roosevelt administration, show
ing that the Roosevelt administration
had rolled up a deficit of approx
mately $1l00O,0 O,00O0 900 in three years.
Crowd Catches Swing.
II ask this question" said Steiwer,
For how long a period has the Fed
eral deficit exceeded that which the
President denounced? For three long
years For how long a period has
the Federal spending been kept above
the seven billion dollar line. For three
long years. For how long a period
has the Chief Executive called upon
the Congress to pass new tax bill
increasing the tax burden upon
helpless Nation? For three long years.
For how long have we lived under
the evil trinity of increased deficit,
increased debt and increased taxes?
For three long years. We will end
its tyranny when we rid our Govern
ment of the New Deal SPECTATORS who
have speculated for three long years.
They have speculated with the billions
of the peoples money just as the
gamblers of Wall Street speculated
with the millions belonging to those
same people
The crowd caught the spirit and
the swing. It beloved its own re-
sponse to each of the questions pro-
pounded by Steiwer-"three long
years"
Steiwer did not mince words when
he spoke of the New Deal President
and his administration. Some of the
phrases he used were, "A New Deal
Cesar" the New Deal and its can
didate are alike destructive of the
basic essentials of popular govern
ment," Capitalization of power is the
Siamese twin of bureaucracy" ''it
(the administration, depends on book
worms for practical experience and
on hook worms for energy"
Charges Recovery Retarded.
The keynoter charged that the
Roosevelt administration had delib-
erately retarded recovery. He said
Ito preserve our country we must get
into the American stride again"
Delegates listened to the speech of
Steiwer carefully, not only because
it was the keynote" but also because
they had him under observation and
were considering him for a place on
the national ticket. After he had con-
cluded, many of them declared them
selves well satisfied with both the
speech and Steiwer. To some, on the
other hand, It was only a speech"
but they appeared to be in the minor
ity.

number voting for him. If by any
chance the Landon bandwagon should
actually bog down, the Michigan Sem
ator would stand a first-claSs chance
of becoming the compromise nomi-
nee for President.
Col. Frank Knox. Chicago pub
Usher and one of the leading candi-
dates for the presidential nomination,
came to Cleveland yesterday, as he
said, because I was curious" In an
interview he declared himself out of
any coalition" He said he was for
return to the gold standard and for
constitutional amendment. if it was
necessary, to give the States the power
to deal with minimum wages. He
said that he did not desire to ad-
dress the convention.
Knox said he was in the fight for
the nomination to stay, unless the
Republican convention should write
platform full of weasel words" on
which he could not stand. He did
not expect, however, that the conven-
ton would write such a platform.
Neither Very Hopeful.
The statements made by Knox as
well as Senator Borah, since their ar
rival in Cleveland, did not give the
impression that either of these can
didates had very great hope Of becom-
ing the party standard bearer. Both
laid great emphasis upon the neces-
sity of writing a strong and liberal
platform. But their ideas Of what
should go in the platform, particu-
larly In regard TO currency. are very
different.
The Resolutions Committee, work.
ing through a subcommittee, labored
through the night in an effort to
whip platform into shape. They
planned to submit it to the full COM
mttee as early as possible today and
TO have 1t passed upon and ready for
the convention by tonight, imme-
diately after the speech by former
President Hoover.
Senator Borah may yet be invited
to appear before the convention to
defend certain platform proposals
which he desires incorporated in the
party document, provided the plat
form does not include them. If he
does, there is likely to be a warm
session of the convention.
The subcommittee of the ReSolu-
tions Committee had among its l6
members a number Of conservative,
old guard Republicans. Former
Senators Bingham of Connecticut.
Moses Of New Hampshire. Edge Of
New Jersey and Reed of Pennsylvania
were among them. Representative
Taber Of New York. a conservative.
and former Gov. james P. Goodrich

Steiwer looks like a candidate. At
one point, when he was hall through
his address, the ampl!fiers went out
of commission and he was compelled
TO wait for minute or two until the
trouble had been rectified. Despite
this. however, his speech went over
well
Vandenberg Also Is Applauded.
Steiwer was not the only man to
get hand at last nights meeting.
Senator Vandenberg of Michigan was
asked to step on the speakers plat
form so that the photographers could
make pictures of him. When the
delegates caught sight of him there
was spontaneous burst of applause.

growing discomfort within his own

sources.
The Governor gave negative replies
to questions about reports the Mary
land delegation wanted TO Join Lam

A spokesman for that group-he
has acted in that capacity for Nice
himself-said IL OF the delegates
wished to declare for Landon, pos

Several delegates urged Nice and
other leaders to call a caucus for gen.
eral discussion of the situation Nice
and William p Lawson, State chair
man, have steadfastly refused to do
so and the delegation has not held
one since reaching here.
Representatives of Landon camps

CLEVELAND, June 10. - Senator
Frederick Steiwer of Oregon was
thrust forward today into the ranks
OF vice presidential prospects by his
reSounding keynote speech.
Previously mentioned only tenta-
lively, Steiwer's speech encouraged
some delegates to boom him into

ticket.
Texas delegates launched a vice
presidential drive for Col. Frank
Knox, Chicago publisher, a candi-
date for the presidential nomination.
Whether Knox would accept the sec
ond place on the ticket remained to
be seen.
Out of the East came campaigns
for three "favorite son" candidates
for the No position. New Hamp-
shire delegates worked for 38-year-
old Gov H. Styles Bridges, New Jersey
sounded off for former Senator Walter
E Edge, while the call of Maryland's
Governor, Harry w. Nice. for an East

many observers as a bid for the post.
