At his splendid speech in George
town the night of the opening of
the Republican campaign, staged by
the young Republicans of George
town, when 800 people stood out in
the square and listened for an hour
and a half, George Williams, the
nominee for Congress, brought out
some facts that were of extreme in
terest to the farmers of this State.
He told how he went to get a break
fast of ham and eggs and discovered
that the ham had been brought into
this. country from some foreign land
through the New Deal juggling of
our tariff laws. He told of how the
wheat cakes with which he embel-
lished that breakfast were made of
wheat shipped in from the Argentine.
This is the New Deal way of help
ing the farmers. They hand them $40
to cut down crops and then steal
their market away from them to-
give it to some foreign country who
ships in butter, wheat and pork pro-
ducts at prices away under what
the farmer here should be getting.
1t was a thought worth keeping in
mind. FARMERS don't let the New
Deal fool you. They are handing you |
a present in money for curtailing /
your crops and then stealing your
market from you so you cannot get a !
decent price for what you do raise.
Better be FREE and raise what /
crops you please at a decent price
for your own markets. What kind of
a price are you offered for your
wheat? What kind of a price for
corn? II is time for Delaware far
mers to wake up and stop this finn
fam game.

Auditor Wise of Dover has never
answered the allegations made by
Jim MOrford who is running on the
Republican ticket for Attorney-Gen-
eral in his speech at Georgetown
when he alleged that the Democratic
Administration had diverted half a
million dollars from the State High !
way Departments gasoline taxes and /
4. quarter of a million dollars from !
he Board of Education's school {
'und for the running expenses of &
he Democratic job holders. Wonder i
Why? The answer is plain-Becausel
is true.
For the first time in twenty years il
he Republican Party of Kent county C
vent through a primary without a I
ontest. If the New Dealers think f
hat the Republicans in Delaware o
re not well organized. let them look p
yer Kent county where for the first a
Ime in many years, the Republicans o
re going to defeat the-not Demo- a
the NEW DEAL forces. e.
American farmers will receive one 81
lllion dollars less for their pro- A
Icts this year than they did in the al
asst year. Why? Because the New S
cal allowed them to raise fewer D
'ops and what they did raise was Il
ct with underselling from foreign D
rmers in other countries. Does W
lis not convince you farmers that te
'rmer Republican tariffs were bet
r for your pocketbOoks?
Oh. bOy-is that some mixed up CT
'imaTy which was pulled off in bC
Essex county by the Democrats. Not ia
lily was there a Democratic ticket SO
by the duly authorized di
lunty Committee but the opposing SC
ction pulled a double cross among in
and put out tickets on tn
hich the names of their own fac W,
