FIVE BOXING BOUTS AT
DELMARVIA A. C.
Promoter Hump Campbell Has Ar
ranged Excellent Card

Professional boxing returns 20 the
Eastern Shore when the Delmarvia
Athletic Club presents its inaugural
show at the new Arena, two miles
south of Milford, on the DUPONT
highway, tonight.
Promoter Hump Campbell, we'll
known sportsman on the Shore, and
Fred Barth, Baltimore matchmaker,
have lined up an attractive five-bout
card of twenty-eight rounds, and
from advance ticket sales, a near
capacity crowd is expected.
Charley Thompson, long recog-
hized as the welterweight champion
of the Delmarvia peninsula, is sched-
uled to trade wallops with Vic Finaz-
20, rugged Baltimore Italian, in the
eight-round bout.
This will be the third meeting be-
tween Thompson and Finazzo.
Thompson successfully defended his
welter title against the Italian in
Salisbury last winter and was award
ed a beautiful gold buckle and belt
by the Maryland State Athletic Com
mission for his victory.
Because Of the fine fight put up by
these two walloping welterweights,
officials of the Cape Charles Inde-
pendence Day celebration committee
signed them to head their Fourth of
July boxing show.

New Deal March stopped

Heretofore, the Democrats have
moved steadily ahead with the
Roosevelt program. Topheavy ma
jorities in House and Senate have
enacted statute after statute, and
each new election has given the par
ty added strength and vigor. -,
Not until the last Congress did
President Roosevelt meet any force
full opposition on Capitol Hill, and
even then he was beaten only by
revolt in his own party. Nor did his
defeats on the court bill and the
government reorganization bill stop
the development of other phases Of
his economic and soical program.
The new election and the scope Of
the Republican showing makes It
clear, however. that every new step
the President takes toward expand
ing and bolstering his program will
be well surveyed for pitfalls.

The Democrats have five hold

county, and George Leslie Gooden,
in the upper part of Kent county.
The Republicans have two hold

Republicans elected 10 members
of the House in New Castle county,
three in Kent and seven in Sussex.
The tie vote in Appoquinimink

Pluralities that reached nearly
1851, far exceeding the prediction
concensus Of G. o. P. State, county
and district leaders, were recorded
on Wednesday as returns were tab
ulated from Tuesdays Republican
landslide. in Delaware.
The barrage of Republican ballots
not only swept U. s. Representative
William F. Allen out OF Congress
and put Republicans into every Offlce
on the Statewide ticket, but gave
the party undisputed control of the
State Legislature-H0use and Sem
ate.
Even the "super-optimistic" pre-
election estimate of Republican
State Chairman Ebe W. Chandler,
whose claim of a $4,000 plurality
was branded by Democrats as laugh
able, came within less than 1900
votes of being reality.
Democrats, who went down to
nearly complete defeat in New Cas-
tie and Sussex counties, could con-
sole themselves only with the coun-
ty offices in their normally faithful
Kent. all OF which they saved ex-
cept one.
Control OF Legislature
With the advantage of five hold
over Senators in the General Assem-
bly, to two for the Republicans, the
Democrats lost control of the upper
house when they we're able to fill
only two out of the ten Senatorial
seats on which the electorate bal
loted.
At the same time, the lower
branch, which they had controlled.
shofted to Republican sway by 20
seats to IA.
A patch Of election districts that
lay athwart the New Castle-Kent
county boundary was all the Demo-
Gratis could carry for the Senate.
There they eletced Robert A. Der
rickson from lower New Castle
county and George Leslie Gooden

One hundred and twenty millions
Of dollars for Montanans.
That is the mount Of new wealth
created in the Treasure state by
the oil and gas industry The fig-
ure gives some idea Of the posi-
bilities Of the real development
that will come when Montana peo-
pie buy only Montana-made petrol
cum products.
The oil industry has produced,
in round numbers, $50. oG0, 600 Of
new wealth and the gas industry
has produced o,O0O,0 900 of new
wealth.
OF the total, s12.OOO,00O has been
paid TO the landowners-to the
Montana farmers who have oil and
gas as their crop, instead of sugar
beets or wheat. The farmers share
is usually 1914 per cent of the gross
production OF his land ans is cali
ed royalty. It is paid TO aim, free
of cost of production. This money
has built fine homes and enriched
communities that would have Jared
badly in the past Is years. had it
not been for the discovery of Oil.
Millions Of dollars have gone IN
to the tax Golfers of the state. to
be divided among the variDus coun-
ties and contributed largely to the
school funds. Since the State Of
Montana owns thousands of acres
of school lands on potential oil
fields. people Of Montana can look
forward to the day when Montana
VIII have great educational insti-
tutions largely supported by oil
as has the state OF Texas today.
This viii come only when the peo-
pie OK Montana realize that deveI-
opment of the oil industry enriches
every man, woman and child in the
state, directly or indirectly, and
Iightens the tax burdens Of every
one.
