a Democratic Congress - with
Congressman like your own can
didate in the 9th district, Judge
John Foley.
Judge Foley had fought hard
and intelligently in defense OF
the integrity of the public serv-
ice. He knows the problems OF
Federal workers, and can be
counted on to see that Federal
workers get a fair break in
Congress.
And I am glad to know, too
that the 5th district will return
its able congressman, another
attractive, brave, vigorous young
Democrat. Richard Landlord.
1t is gratifying to learn that
Democratic registration in these
two districts has increased
markedly this year. I remind you
that tomorrow is the last day to
register in Montgomery County,
and that the day after tomor..
row is the last day to register
in Prince Georges County. Let's
be sure that every citizen is
registered to vote for them.
Decent Campaign Pledged
Let me tell you another thing
that the new Democratic Party
stands for. That is honesty and
decency in campaigning. All Of
you remember what happened in
the State of Maryland six years
ago. Your State was invaded by
the politics of deceit by faxed
p h otographs. scare words
smears, all the arsenal of trick
cry and false God. These
methods have no place in a DEM
ocratic society. any more than
the man who profited by them
has place in the United States
Senate.
I know that the citizens of
Maryland will replace him and
the methods he condones and
the values he embodies and send
to the Senate a fighting Demo-
crat, George Mahoney. George
Mahoney is entitled to vote in
his own right. But a vote for
George Mahoney is more than
that-it is a vote to right the
wrongs done to one of the most
beloved Americans of all time,
Willard TydingS and the people
of Maryland in 1850. 1t is vote

Icial and economic gains which
took place under twenty years
of Democratic government.
I wonder II we sometimes don't
forget that it is not Just that the
Democratic Party took over the
responsibility at a time when the
American economic machine
had stalled - or that twenty
years of Democratic rule more
han quintupled the annual out
put of goods and services for
our people.
Nor is it just that the Demo-
cratic Party brought back to
government a spirit Of concern
for the ordinary people of the
country.
/ l think, rather, of the basic
matter Of people owning their
own homes and of the contri-
buttons of Democratic action 10
home ownership in America.
Home Owners Aid Described
We set up the Home Owners
Loan Corporation to save peo-
pies homes from foreclosure
back there In the '30s. We es-
ltablished the Federal Housing
Administration and later the
Veterans Housing Program 70
bring home ownership within
the reach of more Americans.
We set up the Federal National
Mortgage Association to support
the FILA and ca home loan
programs and thus enable mil
lions of families to buy homes
lat low interest rates and with
modest down payments. We
strengthened the Federal Home
Loan Banks and established the
Federal Savings and Loan In
ISurance Corporation to help
protect home investments.
In this way, the foundation
twas laid in our land for a
revival of home ownership. To-
day IA million more Americans
own homes than did is years
ago. For the first time in this
century. more Americans own
homes than rent them. Every
day more of us have our own
quarter or half-acre, our lawn,
our garden: we pay our own
heating bills, fix the leaks in
our own faucets, gissip over our
own back fence.
A home of ones own, COM
munity living, the land and
space provided by suburban
living-all these offer a better
opportunity for the good life
than any nation in history has
been able to provide its citizens.
I think that this revolution is
one of the happiest and health
lest things to have happened
to our country.
Problems Arise
Yet this dramatic transforma-
ton of our Nation has brought
problems too-problems for our
suburban communities, problems
for our families-the Joe Smith

those that are troubling Jane
Smith-whom hereby also well
come to the party.

properly.
For four years, this problem
has grown steadily worse. And
for four years the Republican
administration with unflaggine
ingenuity has hit upon one ex-
pedient after another to avoid
doing anything about 1t. Thus
the United States ONCE Of Edu-
cation announced that we needed
100000 classrooms. Later that
figure was cut down to 100000
and then to 100000. In the
end. when Mrs. Hobby was rum
ming the Department of Health
Education and Welfare. the fig
ure was triumphantly reduced to
10000. The American Associa-
ton Of School Administrators,
the people who run our schools
were finally driven to say, III
we give Mrs. Hobby a couple OF
more weeks. we may even have
a surplus of classrooms."
This is known as meeting our
needs by revising our figures.

Finally it held the conference
And then an election came along
and the administration, which
had proposed nothing in "a, and

and announced that it wanted
some Federal aid in 1856. But
what a Republican administra-
ton proposes often bears little
relation to how a Republican
Congress disposes.

Well, you all know what hap

introduced by the Democrats.
The White House stood by in
amiable indifference during the
debate. while at the same time it
was using every means of pres
sure at its disposal to defeat the
bill which would have saved Hells
Canyon for the people. And
when the school bill finally came
to a vote, the Republicans killed

J No one who thinks for a mo-
ment about this situation can be
complacent about the state of

they are being let down because
our Government in Washington
is too indifferent to human val

to bet. they would still pick Pres

State by a narrow margin. But
most of them are glad they don't
have to bet. And since Mr..
Eisenhower in 1852 carried Iowa
by a cord-breaking 357, 900
votes it points to a switch that
even the experts have a hard
time explaining.
Resentment Indicated
The big reason, obviously has
been falling farm prices. Not

withstanding Secretary Bensont
new figures, the local tabulatioN
shows farm incomes as a whole
down 6 per cent in the first
seven months of this year COM
pared to last. While the admin.
istration undoubtedly shares the
blame with the weatherman in
the farmers mind, there is still
a powerful feeling Of resentment
over the fact that the farmer
seems to be holding the short
end Of the national boom.
This. however. hardly amounts
to a whole explanation. Last
July, an extensive poll Of farm
voters taken by the highly
regarded Wallace Homestead
dopesters showed that 40 per
cent Of them favored Mr.. Eisen-
hover as against 80 per cent for
Adlai Stevenson.
Today, as forthcoming polls
will show, these percentages are
very nearly reversed. In two
months, with no serious change
in the overall farm picture. the
Democrats ticket has overtaken
the administration and at pres
ent holds an impressive lead. In
hard figures, the picture is that
one out of every four voters who
backed Mr.. Eisenhower in 1852
is switching to Mr.. Stevenson
this year, while the Republicans
have captured only about per
cent of the former Democratic
votes.
Kefauver Is Popular
The best reason which the ex-
perts can offer is the popularity
of Senator Kefauver. Since last
July. the Senator is about the
only tangible new factor that
has entered the picture, and OBJ
servers here are virtually unani-
nous that he deserves the credit
for pulling the switch on the
G. o. P.
For some reason that no one
seems able to explain, Senator
Kefauver is wizard at handling
farmers. The most often-repeated
remark hereabouts is that If the
Senator were heading the ticket,
the Democrats would carry the
State.
Otherwise, on the most casual
inspection. farmers shape up
pretty much like anyone else.
The women, who have chung to
Mr.. Eisenhower with far greater
fidelity than their men. rate the
peace issue at times even higher
than hogs.
Health and Other Issues
The Presidents health is a
matter of concern. But hardly
more so than the fact that Mr..
Stevenson lacks wife. The sus-
picion that President Eisenhower
is the tool of big business may
cost him votes. But balancing
this. the charge that Mr.. Steven
son is allied with labor union sits
badly with farmers in the face of
a major strike Of meat packers.
Clearly a situation made to
order for a pair of candidates
thirsting for a battle on the
plow-scarred fields of Colfax. 1t
may be that the experts are
right and that the blind forces
which regulate pork prices will
have the final word. But for
those who still believe that an
election may hinge on the turn
of a phrase. the coming encoun-
ter here between Mr.. Eisenhower
and Adlai Stevenson will be
watched with more than passing
interest.

ments will remain.
Air Routes Opened
Here are a few of the things
the DEW line has done to open
up Northern Canada:
Air strips have been built, and
commercial east-west air service
has been established. Hitherto,
air transportation in the Arctic
has been north-south only.
DEW line stations and supply
points have become nuclei of
future communities of traders,
Iprospectors and miners.
The arrival of more people in
the Arctic has made a thorough
resources survey inevitable.
Transportation up the Mac
kenzie river has been stimulated
and it has been demonstrated
that cargo boats can ply the
Arctic Sea above Canada-dur-
ing a two-month iceless period

first press tour of the DEW line
that if the chain Of radar sta

mark on the Arctic.
The Arctic before the DEW
line was an almost uninhabited
land. There were perhaps TO-
900 nomadic Eskimos, most of
them hunting and trapping for

Giant Wild Rye Rated Equal
To Dat Straw for Cattle
By ARTHUR D. MILES, Park County

THAT SUBSTANCE that we loosely
call GRASS is, and may always be,
the cheapest Of all livestock feeds.
Making living in the current economy
is dependent upon reducing production
costs. Substituting grass for harvested
feeds, as hay, and obtaining greater
gains while the grazing animals are on
grass are methods of taking advantage
of this cheap feed.
The individual plant is the key to
grass production. If the value and
needs of each plant are understood,
maintaining and increasing grass pro-
duction is relatively simple.

of a place in the herd.
Some Advantages
The big advantage of raising replace

fact that know my herd is free from
