FUSSELL SUPPORT
GAINS MOMENTUM
Lifetime Resident in
Independent
Fight
The Committee for Morris H.
Fussell for Congress has issued the
following- statement:
The hundreds of independent
Republicans who originally- backed
the only independent candidate for
Congress on the Republican ticket,
Morris H. Fussell, report tremendous enthusiasm and widespread
gains throughout, all sections of
the county.
Ill-founded rumors have been
spread in certain sections by both
the County machine and the State
machine that Mr. Fussell was
withdrawing from the fight. The
contrary, is true,. "We have just begun the fight. We do not have the
unlimited funds that the two machines possess, 'but we will carry
our message into every home in
the county that wo can  reach.
Our position is that- the voters
of Delaware County are entitled to
vote for one "candidate who has
not.been'hand-picked by one man
or by a-small group of. professional
'politicians. The -County machine's
candidate. Mr. Dewey, is independent of the State* machine. The State
machine's candidate, Mr. Chadwick, Is independent of the County
machine. So far does their freedom
run, but no further. Tho last minute jockeying so apparent in the
choice of. the McClure candidate
is matched by the. last minute
hand-picking of Mr. Chadwlck by
the Martin - Pew - State machine
group of "independents".
For years lt has been claimed
that the Republican party on a
nationwide scale needs the infusion of younger men. with vigor
and with younger ideas. Even the
two machines admit this to be true
'—everywhere, • that is, except ln
Delaware County. "We, however,
know that Mr. Fussell will bring
to Congress an alert and vigorous
mind, free from control by any
old-guard organization. He has no
political debts to pay to anyone—
in either machine, County or State.
We are.proud and happy that he
has refused to withdraw, despite
pressure from both sides.
*'"The-voters Of- a! county such as
ours, with population, wealth, industries, and production greater
than some states, having made
contributions to the war effort second to none, are entitled to more
consideration than the professional
politicians see fit to trust them
with, We say it is not enough to
give them only the choice of
"Hand-picked A versus Hand-
picked BV every six or eight years;
it is not enough tb restrict the voter's choice to Tweedle-John or
Tweedle-Joe; it is not .enough to
offer only those men who are acceptable to the Boss or the Bosses;
it is not enough to deny the voters
the chance to cast their ballots for
a real independent, to represent
all the people of the county.
Therefore we are earnestly backing Morris H. Fussell for Representee In Congress, as, the only
independent candidate. "We rejoice
to see so many good Republicans
—independents as well as former
adherents of the County machine
and the State machine—joining us
In the fight to elect a free and
uncontrolled representative. We
call, upon all Republicans to join
with  us.

SCHOOL BAND TO
PERFORM FRIDAY
8th,Annual Concert
Fetes Jenny's
Return
The Swarthmore High School
Bund will celebrate the,, return of
its leader John Jenny by giving"
its eighth annual concert on Friday, April 12, in the auditorium of
the College avenue school. Those
who have attended previous concerts of these talented young musicians anticipate another colorful
and exciting event.
From Its very inception eight
years ago thc Swarthmore Band
has surprised and delighted the
people of the borough. Even during the war when its full tlmo director was absent and the burden
of leadership had to be carried Joy
part-time instructors, the quality
of performance was maintained at
a high lovel, and last year's concert was the usual success.
The characteristic feature of the
annual concert is its interesting
variety. The 1946 event will be no
exception. There wUl be stirring
military marches by Sousa. Leonard, King and Goldman; stately
and ceremonial marches by Lake
and Beethoven; selections and overtures from the musical comedies
of Romberg and Herbert; classical
works from the pens of Chopin,
Rimsky-Korsakoff, and Verdi; tone
poems and suites. Then there will
be the inevitable novelty numbers
which have always been the delight of young and old.
The traditional pattern of the
Band's concerts would not be complete without solos and duets by
the more advanced members of
the several sections. This year Fred
Behenna, trumpeter, and John
Foster, trombonist, will perform a
polka duet with the triple ton-
guing and the musical embroidery
which marked the professional
performances of such famous masters as Herbert Clarke and Arthur
Pryor.
