Docking Claims Trend To Democratic Party
A national trend toward the Democratic party is taking place George Docking, Lawrence banker and candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor, told the Young Democrats' Club Tuesday night.
Mr. Docking said that "Figures from the recent state primaries have shown that the Democratic vote is considerably higher than it was in the corresponding 1952 primaries."
Mr. Docking said he first voted on a Democratic ticket in 1830 and that he was a staunch supporter of Roosevelt.
"Roosevelt went to the heart of the problem during the depression," he said. "The people were hungry, and they were fed. They were out of work, and they got jobs."
"He was in a sorry plight then and so was everyone else during the next decade, but it is the Democrats who have offered the best solutions to the farm problem," he said.
Mr. Docking said that during the Republican administrations of the 1920s, everyone prospered but the farmer.
Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen will answer questions about his views on the Amateur Athletic Union on KDGU "Mike No. 1" at 6:45 p.m. today.
"All we need are more candidates for our state Senate and House of Representatives," he said. "The people are turning more and more toward the Democratic party."

Forensic Group To Celebrate 50th Anniversary At Dinner
Alumni and student members of the Delta Sigma Rho, honorary forensic fraternity, will celebrate the organization's 50th anniversary with a banquet at 6:30 p.m. Saturday in the Pine Room of the Student Union.
One of the main discussion topics at the banquet will be debate in the past by Dr. E. C. Buehler, professor of speech. He joined the University staff in 1925 at a time when "debate was an important campus affair."
"In 1924 Oxford University, England, came here to debate. About 2-500 students jammed into Robinson Gymnasium to hear the event," Dr. Buehler said.
The all important question discussed that day was "Resolve this house condemn the principle of
prohibition" with the Oxford team taking the affirmative.
"We charged admission for the event and got enough to cover expenses for the whole forensic program the following year. A fine arts musical organization composed of a string quartet used to play before and after the debates," Dr. Buehler said.
Seven students active in present forensic activities will be initiated. The initiates are Ralph Seger, Topeka sophomore; John Knightly, Hutchinson sophomore; William Hagman, Pittsburg junior; Kenneth Irby, Ft. Scott sophomore; Robert Kimball, Kansas City, Kan., junior; Hugh Bruner, Olathe sophomore, and Abraham Gorelick, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore.
TO ADD A NOTE
OF DISTINCTION
The Henry VIII
The Henry VIII ring suggests the massive power and strength of that Tudor King who forced his seal of authority into the warm wax of royal mandates. The fraternity man today wears such a ring with his own crest intaglio to impress his seal upon his letters.
