Republican Unknown
is Favored 10 Defeat
Tunnel in Delaware
Much Of Labor Vote,
Which Fuvors Democrats
Has Moved From Stote
By Gould Lincoln
By Gould Lincoln
Stcr Staff Correspondent

WILMINGTON, Del, Oct. 2s.-
Only once in the last 40-odd
years have the Republicans lost
an "off year" Statewide election
to the Democrats in Delaware
back in 1922 when Senator Bay
ard, Democrat, won by about
$50 votes. In the most recent
off-year election, in 1912, the
Republicans won with Senator
Buck and elected a Governor
This year-another off-year with
no presidential contest-the odds
favor the Republicans again.
The politically wise men in the
State believe that John j. Williams
the Republican senatorial candidate
will take the measure of Senator
Tunnel, Democrat, on November S
They argue that the Democrats are
certainly no stronger than they were
in 1912 when President Roosevelt
was in the White House and the
country was at war. Indeed, the con-
tention is the Democrats are not SO
popular as they were four years ago
The Republican organization is
strong, hitting on all cylinders, and
can tap the necessary sources for
whatever money is needed in the
campaign. On election day it stim-
ulates the party workers and gets the
voters to the polls. The Republicans
have control of State offices, have
the State employees on their side,
and control of the election machin-
cry. All these items mean some
thing in an off-year election, when
the vote is usually far less than in a
presidential year.
Elections Have Been Close.
Senator Tunnel, running in 1910
with Mr.. Roosevelt at the head Of
the Democratic ticket, won election
by little less than 5000 votes. Sen
ator Buck, two years later, carried
the State by little more than 5000
votes. Statistically, it does not look
well for Senator Tunnel.
Senator Tunnel, however, has

States Blamed for
Discrimination
Against coIored

Washington, D. C. (NNPA) =
The Agriculture Department. last
Wednesday laid the discrimination
against colored boys and girls in
the international Livestock Show
squarely in the laps of the state
leaders of agricultural extension
work in the states.
Questioned whether representa-
tives Of the 228,000 colored All
workers in the nation would par
ticipate in the International Live
stock Show to open at Chicago
Saturday, the Agriculture Depart
ment said there is nothing in the
rules of the show which would
deny them participation and if
colored people were not represent
ed it would be the fault of state
agricultural leaders who select the
delegates to the show.
A spokesman for the Depart
ment attempted to explain that
even if no colored All workers
were sent as delegates to the con-
ference it did mot necessarily
mean they were being discrimin-
ated against. When asked, how
ever, how it happeder that not a
single colored person had even
been chosen as a delegate from a
membership of over 100000 when
such smaller minorities as Japan
csc, Chinese and Puerto Ricians
were regularly represented, the
official said he could not answer
that question.
1t could be, he offered, that it
was due to the reluctance on the
part of colored All workers to
"push ahead"
The Department explained that
delegates to the livestock show
are selected by state agricultural
leaders over whom the Depart
ment has no control, but empha-
sized that no rules or regulations
ban any racial group from parti-
cipation.
