Montgomery Plans
Oct. II Hearing on
Licensing Statesmen

The Montgomery County
Council today received a pro-
posed ordinance to license and
to restrict sharply activities OF
door-to-door solicitors.
The proposed ordinance was
admitted by County Attorney
David Macdonald and was set
for a public hearing at 2::30 pm
october 27 in the new county
Office building.
The measure would require
solicitors-who go from door to
door obtaining orders for future
delivery-to make application
for a license to the Director OF
the Department of Inspection
and Licenses. The application
would be accompanied by a $40
fee which would not be return
able even if the license were
denied.
Fingerprints Needed.
Fingerprints and two photo
graphs of the applicants would
have to be filed.
Before a license could be is
sued the applicant would have
to put up $500 bond .guaran-
teeing that all money paid as
down payment would be ac-
counted for and that merchan-
disc ordered would be delivered.

energies for great power for

And beyond there lies vast,
intricate panorama of politi-
cal, economic and racial ad-
justments all across the earth.
Some observation Of these
difficulties, which has been my
privilege. warns us how gravely
we must approach our political
responsibilities here at home.
We Democrats will have all
the greater need of our re-
sources of imagination, ma
turity and political courage
in these years ahead. Let us
keep this in mind when we
choose our candidates for next
years election.
We need, If you will for
give a local reference, more
men in the Congress and in
our State governments with
the mentality. the integrity
and the rugged Democratic
faith of our great Senator
from Illinois.
I have known him for a
long while and do not know
any one who has fought more
faithfully and perseveringly
for the principles of honest
government and the ideals of
a free society. He began that
fight right here in Chicago in
the 50th ward. Today, he is
a force for freedom, not alone
in this State and in this Ma
tion but throughout the world.
His integrity of mind, his in
dependence of spirit, and his
power of personality have
made him admired and be-
loved wherever Democrats,
gather.
It is therefore with great
pride and a full heart that
present to you tonight my old
friend, Senator Paul H. Doug
las of Illinois.

Democrats to Make
Better Record

I suppose, now that the
hoped-for misfortunes have
not overtaken us in Chicago,
that the Republicans will
charge us with creeping har-
mony.
Of course, what this all
means Is that the Democrats
will make an even better rec
ord in the next session of
Congress than they did in the
last because there will be more
Democrats there to make that
record.
From the deSultory bits of
the American press that I saw
during my travels abroad, l
got the impression before
returned that the new admin
iStration was providing the
WiseSt, the f1rmest, the boldest,
the strongest leadership of our
country since George Wash
ington.
And, Of course, at the same
time that the Democratic
Party was falling to pieces.
This problem of the press sug-
geStS that the main problem
for us Democrats in the next
three years will be how to
break through the sound
barrier.
Fortunately, as my trip
neared its end, enlightenment
finally came in the form of the

We had change all right.
But it seems to me that it
was mostly a change of their
attitude. and that they now
seem to be doing their very
best to persuade the American
people that they are not going
to touch a single one of these
advances of the past 20 years.
Well, / suppose we Demo-

some achievements under the

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-Fol-
loiDing is the tert of a speech
deliUered before a dinner of
Democratic leaders last night
by Adl1i E. SteUenSon, the
Democrat nominee for Presi-
dent in 1852:
Mr.. President. Mr.. Mayor,
and my esteemed and re-
spected and. am happy to
say, old friend, Senator Gil
lette:
So far as I know, there is
no greater misfortune than
can befall a speaker than to be
seventh on a list of speakers,
all of whom know more than
you do.
I sat here listening to my
speech purloined item by item
by each of them. At the mo-
ment there is nothing left,
which will not deter me from
speaking at all.
I am delighted to be home
tonight and among old friends
and good Democrats. y
AS some of you evidently
have heard, I've been away.
And now that I'm back, I'm
relieved to discover that there
are still so many Democrats in
the United States. and that
after nine months of a Re-
publican administration that
so many of them have $100.
But, of course, the Republi-
cans will take credit for that,
too.
Now I we'll know from all
I've heard that there are some
people who would like to think
that the Democratic Party is
on it's last legs. But I must
say that this is the liveliest
meeting of dead party that
I've ever been to; and if it
was any livelier, I'd be dead.
So actually, I think. that
even our conflicts now and
then are not altogether un-
wholesome. and they are cer-
tainly in the Democratic ira
dition.

election.
Pollack, a former pugilist, at
one time sold newspapers with

two grew up together in the

Pollack and the mayor have
long been political allies. al
though the association is some
times strained by the necessity
the Mayor faces of keeping on
good terms with leaders who
dominate other districts and
sometimes sprout city-wide am
bitions.
Last year Pollack threw his
support behind former Repre-
sentative Lansdale G. Sasscer
for the Democratic nomination
to the Senate. He produced in
his own district but his lieuten-
ants outside that area supported
