nutty. Under the new plan you will
sell your crops at two prices. A very
low price to the very poor man. an
other price to everyone else. Who is
going to set the mark for the very

know where Delaware is. He will
say a very poor man is one who gets
$40 week and above that, the man
who makes $11 or S12 a week will
pay the high price. Isn't that nice?

Old time Democrats are whisper
ing that there are enough of them
who are sick and tired of the New
Deal that they will give a majority
to George S. Williams, the candidate
for Congress, just to get clear of the
present incumbent, VINO has shifted

Let's look over the record OF the
Republican and Democratic leader
ship during the past ten years. I'm
der Republican rule the funded debt
of the State was reduced, maturing
bonds were paid off, new
schools were built, highway con-
went on apace, a new State
building was erected, a State Wei
fare Home was built, other institu-
tional buildings were brought into
being, school and county bonds were
taken over and a grand total of $685.

The State. Despite these large and
necessary expenditures, the State
debt was reduced while TAXES were
in every county and dis

taxes were reduced to the
owest ever before. What are the
Democrats doing? BY Democrats, we
