K =% B—3£' gton and Its Environs Democratic Women Hear O’Mahoney Senator Tells Council of Party’s Progress The Republican party is employ- ing the same methods in the 1940 campaign that were used in 1920, which resulted in the Republicans starting their administration “with a depression in 1921 and ending with a crash in 1929,” Senator O’Mahoney of Wyoming charged in an address last night before the National Democratic ~ Women’s Council at the Willard Hotel. “In 1920,” he said, “the Demo- cratic party, under Wilson, was just completing eight years of construc- tive legislation and national effort, an administration of postive achieve- ment that has never been undone.” Now, the Senator declared, the Democrats are again completing an administration marked by “seven years of remarkable achievement in social and civic legislation, whose accomplishments have been cone ceded even by the Republicans.” The speaker said the Republicans, while approving all the Democratic administration® accomplishments, took exception to the cost. This, he said, is unreasonable, as such efforts could not be achieved without the expenditure of money. The claim that the Democratic administration has been bad for business was also criticized by Sen- ator O’'Mahoney, who declared that one need but read the financial pages of the newspapers, to show this charge was false. He quoted a statement by Presi- dent Walter 8. Gifford of the Amer- ican Telephone & Telegraph Co., to the effect that business in 1940 would be 15 per cent higher than in any year since 1931. The Senator commended the council on their action in rounding up absentee ballots in past elections and declared that the “honor of being in the race and being elected, was ample compensation for the candidates.” The tireless work of men and women like those of the council was credited with the success of the elections, he added. Miss Dart Engaged To Mr. A. B. Darton Mr. Joseph A. Dart of Richmond, Va. announces the engagement of his daughter, Miss Ann Killeen Dart, to Mr. Arthur Beaupre Darton, son of Dr. and Mrs. Nelson Horatio Darton, of Washinglor and Chevy Chase, Md.
