STRICTLY POLITICAL

the dwarfs in Snow White and tn,
Seven Dwarfs,' was a Democrat
Certainly Dopey's antics in thai
movie remind us very much OF som,
Democrats in this state. You've
guessed it--because they act SC
dumb.
1t is a pity, just when the Demo
cratic party returned to power in
Delaware that the party leaders
should run true TO form-for Demo-
Gratis always quarrel among them
selves when they get in power-and
virtually restore the state to the Re
publicans. Ousting of such men as
Collector of Internal Revenue VIII
lard Deputy and the threatened re-
moval of United States Marshal Aus
tin ID. Smith are good examples Of
their idiotic brand of politics we re-
fer to. Men who have always served
their party well and who are Serving
the people efficiently and faithfully
in the offices to which they were
named, kicked out to reward some
other political lieutenants. That
may be political expediency-but in
our opinion il is also political sui
eide. If Democratic leaders are
tired of running the state and wish
TO retire to private life again, all well
and good. They are going about II In
just the right way to get that re-
tirement"
That is not a Republican speaking
but a Democrat who represents a
large number of his own party.

A prominent Democrat is reported
to have said Every Democrat in the
state is to have work of some sort
before the election and every home
owner who is in financial stress is to
have the helping hand stretched out
to him or her" Haven't you heard
those promises before? Seems to us ]
they were said before the last cleo
tion. How much work have you re-
ceived from the party and how much
aid have you received? Don't worry
voters will not be fooled |
again. Most Delawareans are fairly |
trusting the first time, but don't try |
TO sell the same gold brick again. |
1t isn't going to work this time. Del |
aware voters are not going to believe |
any more bedtime stories. They |
will vote this election to keep taxes |
down, cut the waste of the state ad-
and to bring prices
within reach of the ordinary fam
lily.
There is still one political writer
who doesn't believe that Kent county
are working in har-
mOny. He will wake up the day
after election to find that he is away
behind the times. There always have
been some "kickers" in every organ
cation and in every political party
md there still are. but every report
hat comes out of Kent county
proves that the large majority are
hand in hand for a real vic
Ory in that county, while the Demo-
,ratic factions seem like they are
working knife to knife TO cut the
hroats of the many candidates that

friends at the expense of other Dem
Dcrats.

Have you heard the. story that is
.Oing around about who the first new
eal Democrat was? The answer runs
hat il was Christopher Columbus.
When he left home he didn't know
there he was going-when he got
here he didn't know where he was
nd when he returned he didn't know :
here he had been. 4
