Artificial Breeders
Cite HOlstein. Sire

Holstein sire of national recog-
milton sGccumbs at the Southeast
ern Penna. Artificial Breeding Co
operative. Sovereign Commander
Antonio died at the age of eleven
years and seven months on Thurs
day, June 10th, as the result of a
physical disability that started to
become apparent seven months ago.
Tony, as this Holstein sire is
nationally known, was purchased
by the Cooperative at the General
Cochran" dispersal sale for $4,000
nearly 2 years ago. 1t was the re-
suit of his service in the General
Cochran herd at Fort Plain, New
York, that he became such a prom
mate animal.
During the time he has been in
the S.P.A.B.C. stud, his breeding
services have been sold to promin-
ate dairymen in many states. How
ever, most important of his rather
short existance in the SPADE.
stud, is the fact that he was mated
to 1907 cows.
Even though Tony is dead, yet
he shall live on. AS the result of
one of the latest developments in
artificial breeding, a limited guam
tity of his semen has been frozen
and is kept in storage in the
.S.P.A.B.C. laboratories. This low
temperature storage, 110' below
zero Cd, has made it possible to
store bovine semen for long peri
ods of time. The Tony semen will
be available to all SPADE. mem
bers.
Earl L. Croft, Strasburg, Chair
man of the S.PA.B.C. Holstein
committee said that Tony" is a
great loss to the Cooperative but
that his committee purchased the
last proven sire, Maplebend Dean
King Posch, in March with the
knowledge that Tony would not
live much longer due to his physi-
cal condition at that time.

and Republican positions, the
Democratic position is best for
the country. Because of this, ]

have been complaining, because
the Democratic Party in this
Congress hasn't done more. It
should be apparent to them by
now that our party is the only
hope of liberalism in the United
States. The Republican Party
is attacking liberalism as such,
and is even trying to make the
word liberal" an ugly or SUBJ
versive word.
If Democrats in Congress dc
not and cannot put across all
the liberal measures We would
like, because some few Demo-
Gratis stray away from their
party's platform and program
the answer is not to attack both
parties Unfortunately and CRY
"a plague on both your houses.
This only creates confusion and
divides the forces which should
be united. The real answer is to
make 1t clear to the liberals that
the Democratic Party is the only
hope they have in this country
and to elect more Democrats
enough to put across the party;
program in spite of those who
stray away.
Even the Republicans now
realize that they have very little
chance to recapture the Con-
gress and have about given up
hope. That is why they are SO
iittery and are concentrating
their fears and hopes on the
executive. The Presidency will be
the real battle-ground of the 1856

gan tearing down the New Deal
and the Fair Deal wherever they
dared and as fast as they dared.
They obtained control Of the ma
tional government by misrepre-
sentation and demagoguery. And
right after the election. the Pres
ident-elect went so far as to use
Misrepresentation and dema-
goguery in his message on the
state Of the Union in January,
1853, and he has never missed a
chance to befuddle the real issues
in every speech he reads.
Fortunately, q Democratic
Congress came into office this
year. It has managed to stop this
tearing-d down process on many
fronts, and to make a start at
restoration and toward building
for the future. But to do it. the
Democratic Congress has had to
struggle against the Republican
administration day in and day
out.
1 want to say something more
about this Democratic saith Con-
gress. Back in 1858. the Demo-
cratic Party had to make quite
an adjustment. For political
party to leave Office after it has
been in control of the admins
tration for 20 years involves
quite an ordeal. I think that
strictly from a party standpoint
this change has had some good
results. Things have been shaken
up. new blood and new leaders
have come to the top, and the
party is stronger now on a
Nation wide grass roots basis
than it has been for many years.
But, while this change has had
a stimulating and revitalizing
effect on the Democrats. I don't
think this period of Democratic
exile has been a good thing for
the country. However, / hope
that in the long run it may be
of benefit to the country because
of the new strength it gives to
our party.)
Adjustments Made
At any rate. we Democrats
had to make many adjustments.
We had to look at many ques-
lions from a new angle. In Sep
TENDER, 1853, we had a big DEM
.ccratic meeting in Chicago-the
first national meeting OF the
party since the 1852 elections.
The delegates to the meeting
were thinking mostly about the
congressional elections coming
UP in 1854. There was some talk
that it might be a good political
strategy to let the Republicans
keep control of the Congress,
since they were going to have
control of the executive branch
for two more years anyway. The
theory behind this was that the
Republicans should have the
full responsibility in all branches
and then be held responsible
for the results.
It was this same kind OF the
DRY that led someone to suggest
that should appoint a Repub-
lican Secretary of State in 1916
after we lost control of the
| Congressa then resign so he
could take over as President,
This would have given the coun-
try a Republican President as
well as a Republican CONGRESS:

stances. the Democratic record
in this Congress has been a truly
remarkable one. They did not dc
everything the way I. for one,
wanted and hoped to see 1t done
But that's neither here nor there
The point is that what they have
done has been done primarily in
the public interest.
Only Slight Majority
Remember, the Democrats
have had only a slight majority
over the Republicans, especially
lin the Senate. This means that
lii any Democrat strays away
then the Democratic leaders are
in trouble. But in spite of this
handicap, our party in Congress
has accomplished these things:
