Democratic watchman. (Bellefonte, Pa.) 1855-1940, October 24, 1930, Image 5
Sn he am ——a NE > From the Philadelphia Record. Secretary of Labor James J. Davis walks in the Valley of Dry Bones. He utters the absurd, . threadbare “warning” that election of a Demo- cratic Congress would bring upon the country “depression and hard times.” He says the Democrats are “de- liberately hindering” the President in his endeavor to restore business stability. Such statements are untrue and si'ly. The Democrats are nailing down responsibility for promulgation of myths about prosperity. ‘Admitting the existence of a de- pression which neither Mr. Coolidge, Mr. Hoover nor Congress could have prevented, they accuse the Republican party of false pretense and ineffectiveness in dealing with the situation. The Davis utterance is to be heavily discounted as a political campaign speech; but what effect it has is exactly in line with the deceptive assurances for which Democrats hold the Republican Chief Executive partly responsible. filtoona Booster Merchants Say: Shop at Your Home Stores First. Come to Booster Stores for the Things Your Home Stores Cannot Supply. Buy Now And Take Advantage of the LW Prices Prevailing in Altoona Booster Stores Not for many years have re- tail prices been as low on desir. able goods as they are right. now in Altoona Booster Stores! In fact they are close to the prices prevailing 17 years ago before the World War upset things and made the radical change in conditions and placed such a handicap on business that it has not yet recovered from its effects. Manufacturers have reduced their prices in order to stimu- late business and Booster Mer- chants, having confidence in the quick return to normal condi- tions, have bought liberally of the underpriced nmwrchandise and are now offering it at prices that mean decided savings for those who buy now! Goods for Personal Needs Goods for Home Needs Are all included at the Low Prices so that no matter what kind of goods you are in need of you will be able to buy them in Booster Stores At Lower Prices Than Have Prevailed For Many Years A splendid time to buy for Fall and Winter as Booster Stores’ Stocks were never more complete and everything is of Booster Store High Standard of Quality!

BROWN and the All American Football Team “ Maybe It’s Love” Looking Over the Governorship. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. It may well be that the vote cast in Philadelphia November 4 will settle the Governorship. It is be- coming apparent that Mr. Pinchot can look for little support from the ward leaders and the members of the Republican City Committee. Mr. Pinchot’s Republicanism is de- pied by most of them. ‘They will poll every possible vote for James J. Davis for United States Senator and for the Republican candidates for Congress, thereby standing by the Hoover Administration, but they are without sympathy for Pinchot. They are talking of 250,000 ma- jority for John M. Hemphill, for whom they will ballot on the Liberal party ticket. That would seem to be a rather large order. The final day for registration brought the figures up to approximately 512,000. Should 450,000 citizens vote—and that is a liberal percentage—FPin- chot would poll only about 100,000 if Hemphill were to be given his 250,000 majority. However, it is evident that Pinchot will have to come to the county line with a pretty large total to overcome the Hemphill figures here if the Repub- lican leaders are anywhere near right in their calculations. The Governorship should be con- sidered as a contest peculiar to it- self and with no relation to national affairs, unless, as it has been charg- ed on the political stump, the vie- tory of Pinchot would lead him to seek the Presidential nomination, supported by the mid-Western clique dominated by Senator Norris, of "| Nebraska. Prohibition enters into the Gov- ernorship scramble, but not as a main issue. Mr. Pinchot claims’ an understanding between Hemphill and the Philadelphia Republican leaders by which the organization may have a voice in State control. Evidence to that effect is lacking. Indeed, such combination is vigorously de- nied. However, he is continuing to flay the politicians hereabouts. This is one of his choice issues. It is really an appeal to the interior counties against this city. Another choice issue is that of the Public Service Commission. He would abolish it and replace it with a Fair Rate Commission. There is no doubt that the Commission needs reorganization. It is in bad odor, for example, with street car and taxicab riders of Philadelphia. But a Governor can accomplish nothing in the way of appointments or re- movals without the consent of tke State Senate, while any change of existing law would have to be enact- ed by the Legislature. Mr. Pinchot’s attacks on public utilities may be misunderstood as to their scope, but he is visibly gaining the enmity of Philadelphia’s business and financial circles, whatever he may be doing in the country. This enmity is growing serious to his cause. Added fo the hostility of the Republican leaders, an opposition give him a great deal of trouble. To what height it may eventually go is for the coming weeks to deter. mine. ed, that the vote cast in Philadel- phia November 4 will settle the Governorship. BOALSBURG. | re F. M.
