Democrats Score
Fusion Party For
Alleged Failure
Robert Peter Gives Account Of
Present Financial Condition
In Montgomery

Three and one-half years of Fusion
failures" were scored by leading
Democratic candidates for county Of
flee Monday night before a large
gathering of the Women's Democratic
Club of Leland.
Speakers were Robert Peter, chair
man of the Democratic County Or
ganization and candidate for the State
Senate; Ben G. Wilkinson, Jr., candi-
date for States Attorney, and T
Earle Hampton, candidate for county
commissioner for the western suburb
an district.
Mr.. Peter gave an Illuminating ac-
count of the county's financial condi-
ton during the present Fusion regime
during which he declared the tax rate
has been maintained at an all-time
high notwithstanding the fact that
the administration has been practical
ly devoid of worthwhile achievement.
"Boiled down." he declared, "the
Republican Fusion record has simply
been mad scramble for jobs"
Taking the various county offices,
item by item, from courthouse jani-
tor to the highest paid administrative
position, Mr.. Peter compared the ex-
penditures today with the amount
spent by the previous Democratic adj
ministration for the same situation,
and disclosed considerable increases
in salaries.
In his talk, Mr.. Peter also analysed
the tax receipts for the present and
preceding county administrations, his
figures disclosing the fact that the
Republican Fusion regime currently
is collecting more than twice as much
in taxes as their Democratic prede-
cessors. This increased revenue, he
said, has not been accompanied by
corresponding benefits to the taxpay-
ers of the county, either in the nature
of new improvements or of retired
bonded debt. Almost the only thing
to show for the higher tax rate, he
added, is the top-heavy payroll in
the county government.
Mr.. Wilkinson's remarks dealt with
the Importance of education as a
measure of crime prevention, point
ing out that as candidate for States
Attorney he was primarily concerned
in crime, both sregards prosecution
ard prevention.
Although the States Attorney &C
tually is the county prosecutor, Mr..
Wilkinson said, he ent further and
declared that he believed one of the
most important services the States
Attorney can render the county citi-
zens is in cooperating with other Off
Gals and agencies in preventing crime
and in eliminating the causes of
juvenile delinquency.
He charged the Republican Fusion
administration with playing drop the
handkerchief" with the school prob
lem by failing to take any action to
meet continuing and future school
needs.
The need for good schools also was
stressed by Mr.. Hampton who pointed
out that the Democratic organization
always had and always would be a
strong defender of a high standard
of public education.
He pledged his efforts to carry on
the fight for good schools and we'll
rounded curriculum of education.
In addition to schools, Mr.. Hampton
also spoke vigorously for county
road construction program.

in the ears Of rural Montgomeryites.
He also struck a concordant note
when he said, 81 will only be so
much of a politician as to keep my
party together and reach my ulti-
mate objective" The Attorney
General interpreted the gathering
as being Spontaneous and joint
movement in the interest of the rank
and file in the functions of the
next State administration"
States Attorney James Pugh, suf-
fering from laryngitis, turned the
chair over to Mr.. WEIGH, relative
newcomer to county politics. With
professional gravity, Mr.. WEIGH
made a good job of his impromptu.
Mrs. Perry, former county office
holder under the Democratic regime,
said that she had "been searching
for leader" and had at last found
him in Mr.. O'Conor. 1.-THE worm
has turned" she said, in speaking
of new deal for county and state
taxpayers. She added that the wom-
en- of the county were not voting
for O'Conor just because of his pull
chritude. Mr.. Bruce repaid Mrs.
Perry with IF / ever run for Office
! hope Mrs. Perry will be on my
team"
The Attorney General outlined his
fiscal proposals as follows:
Il. No new bonds to be issued
to defray current expenses, under
any circumstances, and none for cap
ital expenditures, at least until such
expenditures can be found without
increase in the State real estate tar.
"2. No sales tax or gross receipts
tax, which our own experience has
shown to have been unluly onerous
upon the poor classes and the small
merchants, especially those in bor-
der counties.
"3. The utilization of all gasoline
taxes for road purposes, without an
ticipation by the issuance Of any
more debentures.
"a. An increase in the total rev.
enue of the State to take care Of
social security and relief, by an
adjustment and simplifcation Of the
whole tax structure, so that every
one, without favor and according
to his worth, may pay his just
share.
%. No more patchwork schemes
of temporary taxation, which is un-
settling to business enterprises.
Business enterprises ought to be en-
Outraged and not unduly handicapped
by government in the full employ
ment of their resources in legiti-
mate undertaking."

 Story Leaked Out
 The story of the selection of Maritime Commission Chairman Joseph P. Kennedy as ambassa- dor to England,leak out of the White Mhite House before Presi- dsnt Roosevelt told Kennedy he wanted him to take the job.
 There was no question about Kennedy's acceptance. He want ed it. Never before had this prize post in the diplomatic serv- ice been offered to an Irish-Am- erican, if only because of delicate BritiSh-Irish relations.
 Kennedy's appointment proba- ply will be rated as one of the new deals best. London is inn portant and Kennedy is able, Joy al, patriotic and boiled enough not to be cozened. He knows plenty about two subjects especially important in British American relations:
 1. Increasingly difficult rela- tions between the New York and London stock markets, caused by attempts of American traders tc go into foreign exchanges in or der to evade regulations here.
 2. The merchant marine-im, portant because American ex. pansion policy is deeply bound up with British reciprocal trade .treaty between the two, countries

WASHINGTON
 LETTER
(By Rodney Dutcher)

WASHINGTON, D. C.-If Am baSsador William E. Dodd feels free to talk out loud after retir- ing from his Berlin post in Jan uary, this country will be hear ing some hot stuff about fascism and nazi ambitions.
 Dodd has been increasingly dismayed, not to say mortified And the Germans have known what was on his mind. It is hard 10 tell whether the Hitler gov ernment or the ambassador will be the happier at his departure The fact that Dodd wasn't re- placed many months ago is due almost solely to the fact that his ardent preference for democracy as against fascism is shared by President Roosevelt and Secre- tary Hull.
 Urge Opposing Pact
 Insiders doubt whether Dodd's concern over the rampage of the warlike, fascist nations - Ger many, Italy and Japan - has grown more rapidly than that oi many high officials here, although domestic problems have been more pressing.
 Dodd and certain other Ameri- can envoys abroad have urged ar Anerican-Brit French-RuS- sian front against what Secretary Iokes calls the ''nightShirt na tions," and there would have been one by this time if Britain had been more willing to offe1 solid cooperation. 1T
 The alternative, as seen by diplomats and other high off cials is:
 A Mediterranean, a North Ali. rica, and near east dominated by Italy;
 An Asia mostly controlled by Japan;
 South America where oul sphere of influence already i: threatened by all three.
 The last prospect is especially

February First
 Last Date Filing
 Names Primary

According to the Territorial Election Laws, the first Tuesday in February is the last date for filing of candidates names, in the party Primary elections.
 This year the first Tuesday in February comes on the First. The Primary Election takes place the last Tuesday in April, namely, April 18th.
 The Nome Republican Club has already met and discussed the feasibility of entering a ticket in the Primary, and the Democratic Club is meeting tomorrow night, also to lay plans for the entering of ticket.
 With the Roosevelt administra- tion still having three full years of control of national affairs, there appears very little likeli- hood of a political change in Al aska-as this Territory has been especially well considered by the federal government-for one thing, the price of gold-result- ing in untold benefits and devel- opment to Alaska.
 In the 1886 general elections, Franklin D. Roosevelt and his party were returned to Washing ton, with the largest plurality and electoral vote ever received by any presidential candidate. The victory was more complete than appeared on the surface, in as-much as Vermont and Maine were the only two States to vote for the Republican candidate, Ali. M. Landon.
 With the primaries taking place in April this year and the gener- iL NA@SbACII u lIlG Cl lIOi 1dl LeS islature occurring in September, interest in Territorial politics re- awakens. Other divisions are holding their caucuses and pre- pairing for the primaries. Of particular interest this fall will be the referendum vote on the question of desirability of a unicameral legislature. Without much doubt, the Second, Third and Fourth Divisions will prob- ably oppose the choice on the grounds that they might jeopar- dize their just power and privi- lege of being represented equal ly. Anyhow it would take a lot of propaganda to educate or en- tighten the average voter other wise on this subject.
