Startling, head of the secret service
under several presidents, often
talked to me about how much Wilson
loved the theater. Startling enjoyed
it, I enjoyed it, and perhaps togeth-

ton for the footlights. But Startling
used to say that Wilson got more

White House." he says Wilson pre-
ferred musical comedy and vaude-
vile to serious drama. That was
the general impression among the
neWspapermen. I know.
Both the Roosevelts, Theodore and
Franklin, were great theatergoers.
Neither of them was a blushing vi
olet as far as receiving adulation of
the crowds was concerned, but for
a number of reasons, largely the
hectic times of the late RooSevelt's
regime, the former made his at
tendance anywhere more of show.
Although an assassin's bullet did lay
low a man in Franklin Roosevelt's
entourage-Mayor Anton Cermak of
Chicago when both were visiting
Miami-Theodore Roosevelt was
himself actually shot and badly
wounded on one occasion. However,
this was after he left the White
House and while he was making a
political speech in Milwaukee.
1t was the movie which drove
out the later Washington Iegi-
innate theaters, but this death
blow TO the preSent-day National
theater arises out of the grow
ing demand to end segregation
demand which made itself felt
after World War l and which in
creased in World War ii. The
frequent, well-publicized con-
troversies over lifting of the Sc
gregation ban in Constitution
hall, property of the Daughters
of the American Revolution and
one of the few available concert
halls in the city, have spotIighted
WashingtOn's segregation habits
they aren't laws.
The manager of the National thea
ter is not closing the theater for
social reasons. He simply can't book
shows if he continues race discrim-
ination and he thinks that if he
raises the ban, he can't sell tickets
to enough white people to make it
pay.
To southerners it probably seems
absurd that such a question should
arise, and northerners probably will
be just as surprised for the opposite
reason. Washington was once a
southern city, now it is a mixture
of North and South and typical of
neither.

WASHINGTON, d. C. Give il
the old college try!
That appeared to be the election
day slogan for precinct workers
throughout the nation as the Re-
publican team Of Dewey and War
ren made their final SCORING
thrusts via the airwaves from ma
jOr cities.
The Dewey-Wa combination
has run the Republican ball to the
goal line. 1t is up to the line in
the field to help push it across.
That is the strategy for the next
and last play in the game.
Every precinct committeeman
and cOmmitteewOman, every cOun-
ty chairman and every state chair
man can know when the polls close
next Tuesday night what kind of
a game he or she played.
For example: In the Third Dis
trict of Iowa the precinct workers
and the chairman will know that
the Dewey-WarTen team is the win
ner if the 1914 total of 74,9O1 Re-
publican votes is increased to at
least $4,000 votes Tuesday.
In the Eighth Oklahoma District,
as another example, the workers
will know that the celebrating can
start when the 1914 Republican
vote of 43,878 has been increased to.
say, $4,000 Tuesday.
Or, in the Second District of West
Virginia the shouting can begin
when the 1914 Republican vote of
1922 has reached a 1948 total
of $4,000.
The workers in those districts.
like workers in all others, will
know Immediately that an increase
in their districts will be reflected
in every district in the nation.
Reports of political observers
that the vote Tuesday will be small
er than has been predicted certain
ly have not been CLEANED from Re
publican activities.
Veterans in the Republican head
quarters here are loud in their
claims that Republican interest in
the election is the highest in the
party's history.
One headquarters worker who
has been around Presidential cam
paigns for a good many years said:
IF the vote is light they will find
the cause of it at 1900 Pennsylva-
MIA Avenue, Washington, D. c."
That is the address where Harry
Truman will get his mail until Jan

Without teamwork you can not
get the vote out. With teamwork
you can.
The Republicans certainly have
the team. The work will be added

VERDICT OF ME PEOPLE


AS we go into the last few days of the
1948 campaign the Republican Party in Della
ware can be proud of the kind of a campaign
that has been Waged by it's standard-bearers.
In that respect the party has fulfilled the
prediction made by party leaders as the cam
paign started that so far as the Republican
Party was concerned this would be the clean
est campaign in Delaware history. The Re-
publican Party in Delaware is happy over
the multiplying indications of overwhelming
victory provided only that the workers not
slacken their efforts during the remaining
few days Delaware Republicans have con-
Quoted a campaign which makes Delaware
ans proud that they are residents of the Dia-
mOnd State, and brings credit to our repre-
sentative system of free government. The
response of the people has been most encOuT-
aging and lnVlgOrating to this sort of cam
paign. 1t is daily becoming more obvious
that for the high office of Governor of the
State Of Delaware the people prefer a man
who gets things done, and who knows how
to do. them. 1t is obvious that our Delaware
people prefer man IN this high executive
Office who is willing and able to cooperate
with the elected representatives of the peo-
pie IN the Legislative branch of State govern
ment The record Of Hyland P. George, as an
outstanding business man and native Della
ware citizen proves cOncluSiVely that his
promises are made to be kept-nOt to be ig-
nOred or broken. The record of Delaware
Republicans, when compared with campaign
promises during past campaigns, adds up to
the same result-a Republican promise can
be accepted at face value. They are not cam
palgn balloons thrown up to catch votes and
to be forgotten the day following elections.
The Republicans have not promised that
which no party alone can deliver such as has
the Democratic candidate for Governor and
other Democratic office seekers.
1t is highly important for the welfare of
Delaware and our citizens that we have in
office during the coming critical years a State
Administration and General Assembly who
can, and will, work together and who will be
able and willing to keep it's promises. The
contrast between the Republican campaign
and the "give 'em HELP technique of the
Democrats is startling. Possibly something
OF this nature was needed to bring home to
the people a realization of the low estate to
which the Democratic mudslinging and in
slnuatlng campaign has descended in Della
ware this year. There is, of course, a Ger
tain amount of amusement to be derived
from the spectacle of candidate for Cover
nor jumping up and down every hour, on the
hour, like jack-in-the-bOx and spilling in
Vectlves broadcast. But Delaware people
would prefer to rely for amusement of that
sort on the Donald Duck school of comics
rather than upon man who would be vested

The Sales Tax will no longer be

wheel chairs for invalids, the in
firm and ill. At the same time, the
sales tax division pointed out that
the sales tax will still apply to sun
glasses and goggles such as are used
for welders.
The second bill affecting all who
collect the tax, does away with the
requirement for the filing of annual
reports by licensees under the Sales
Tax Act. Heretofore, annual reports
were required from each licensee,
to be filed within 80 days after the
close of his tax year, either on cal
endar or fiscal basis.
Monthly reports still are required.
