CouLD Mr.. CARvEL DELIVER?

AS the campaign progresses the form OF
the Carvel campaign for Governor begins to
take shape He apparently is following the
Truman line, which is designed to OutdO the
discarded New Deal philosophy If he is
speaking before teachers group, he prom
ises the millennium in increases of pay and
increments. When farmers are approached,
he is going to turn over backwards in seeing
that their interests are protected. 'When
labor groups are contacted, he is for in
creased pay, better working conditions and
for everything that the radical labor leaders
want. He is an active Churchman when
talking to those of dry Instincts He is in
clined to be "Wet'' when the drinking element
is contacted He hOwls about illegal ''VOte
Buying" but he offers no concrete evidence
to back up his charge. He insists upon
changes in the election laws, but he is vague
in his recommendations for improving them.
He intimates that the Republicans only are
responsible for the illegal buying of votes,
but the SeafOrd Leader, Democratic news
paper, speaking editOrialy last week, made
the as-yet-undenied statement that in Sea-
fOrd' the Democrats are more guilty of this
practice than are the Republicans.
For the sake of argument let's aclInOW-
ledge that he is sincere in all of his promises
and accusations. Then just what can he do
if he is elected? The State Senate, unless
an unforeseen calamity should befall the Re-
publican party, will be controlled by the Re-
publican party. During his four years as
Lieutenant Governor, during which he pre-
sided over two sessions of the Senate, he
showed that he could not work with the ma
jOrity party. Time after time his rulings
had to be OVerrldden. He worked steadily
with the minority to throw a mOnkey-Wrench
into the program of the Republicans Many
of the things which he now advocates his
party with his support as presiding officer
of the Senate, defeated. During the closing
days and hours of the last Session of the
General Assembly, the Democrats, assisted
by Mr.. Carvel, and for political and partisan
reasons, refused to vote for measures which
needed their support. This was done in or
der that they could create political ammuni-
tiOn for the present campaign. Mr.. Carvel
assisted in doing this. Now, with this record
behind him, just what can he expect from q
Republican Senate should he be elected? The
answer is simple. 1t can be summed up in q
few words. They are" "antagOnism and de-
feat for his proposals." Delaware voters
will do well to consider this when they cast
their vote for Governor. Carvel just cannot
deliver what he is promising. Don't let any
OratOry to the contrary deceive you!
