REPUBLICANS CAN WIN THIS
YEARS ELECTIONS

The Republican Party can win the State
and National elections of 1850 and 1852 and
render the greatest service in its history if
1t will concentrate on the paramount issues
before the Nation today. The domestic is
sues now bOthering our citizens can be easily
listed. They are excessive taxation, waste
full spending, deficit financing and price in
tation. This applies equally to Delaware and
to the Nation as a whole On these issues the
Truman Administration is hopelessly in the
wrong and the Republican Party has a gold
en- opportunity to be victoriously right But
the party must quit being half Republican
and half something else. 1t must get back
on the beam. 1t must stand for something.
1t must deserve public confidence and re-
spect. Above ALL it must have the courage
or its convictions. Delawareans are ready
and crying for the opportunity to oust our
present Democratic spendthrifts. The pro-
gram above listed, properly presented and
honestly followed will find an eager following
here in our little State Delaware Republi-
cans will do well to announce such a pro-
gran-and soon.

EVERY MAN DESERVES THE RICHT

deserves the right to be judged as an individ-

The Hoover report cannot make or break
the federal budget, but it can mean the diff
ference between surplus or deficit The
Hoover program reached Congress last
spring. 1t was the product of two years of
effort by the Hoover Commission-which
was created by law-and by several hundred
experts who performed research work with
out pay. The report suffered a major set
back when Congress refused to swallow it
whole, despite HOOver's personal urging.
Plecmeal legislation was passed, starting in
June. At the end of the session Representa-
tive Clarence Brown of Ohio and other legis-
lators supported the reform drive and call
ed for redrafting of the Hoover bills into
more manageable form. Those now hang
ing fire are too general and too vague, Brown
complains.
