In presenting his program. Mr.
MorfOrd cited the advancenhents
made under Republican administra-
! tion in the State and cOntrasted the
inefficient and expensive ideas now
being advanced aud entertained in
I the various State Democratic-cOn-
trOlled departments.
Let us look for a moment at the
State Liquor Commission with its
present nOn-pOlitieal set-up. Com
pare it with the proposed change by
the Democrats who expect to ap-
point a Democratic politician. When
this is done it will throw all the tap
rooms and liquor businesses into the
worst kind of politics. and make ev-
cry liquor dispenser ION edge" as
they are right now. wondering what
the change will mean. The Demo-
Gratis also propose to set a large sal
airy for the position which the Re
publicans filled without spending a |

While we are on the subject of jobs.
have you known yet of any meeting
of Democrats. either official or non
official. which has not protested that
there was not enough jobs? Running
affairs efficiently brings no concern
from the Democratic gatherings
The chief topic is where they can
get more jobs for the hungry faith
full. At a recent meeting of the New
Castle County Democratic Commit
tee. speakers throughout the evening
about a more equitable
of jobs to build up their
party organization. What did they
care about the welfare OF the state?
The party needs more jobs. Speakers
declared that although Wilmington
and rural New Castle cast &c per
cent of the total Democratic votes in
the last election. they are not re-
ceiving their share of jobs. Chair
man Jester suggested that in the
future the hundred having the most
active workers should receive the I
argest number of jobs. City Chair
nan Lyons said that Kent county and
,nly zone faction in Sussex county" I
we're getting all the jobs and that u
should stop such unfair q
less. Nothing was said about eff p
iency or the welfare of the state: e
[ was just a question of location D
when il came TO jobs. Surely the II
oters of the state who pay the tax
S are not going to allow any party p
o prevail whose whole sense Of an IL
lection is how many jobs can they "
i've out? q
