I hereby indorse reaulrln candi dates to state their position on pro posed legislation, for only in that way can tne people ascertain the candi dates' fitness for office. The American people are tired of straddlers and can didates that are afraid to come out squarely before the voters, but who tell one side they are for a bill and an other side they are against it. This nation is being cursed now because so many oi its puDiic men are moral cowards. Pat McArthur. taking time by the forelock, has turned the Progressive Party down before ithat incubating or4 canization could get a whack at him on Tuesday next when it 'is scheduled to meet in state convention at Central library hall.

McArthur writes, "I right to vote ion these measures (the compulsory school bill, the 8terling-Towner bill before con gress and other measures named in the questionnaire), but as a public official and candidate of one of the j , nation's greatest political parties fori another term in the house of representatives I must decline t0 indorse or jcondemn them.
