MEMBER OF OREGON NEWSPAPER PUBLISHERS ASSN. VOTER CONSIDERATION— ITS IMPORTANCE IN 1952 Many different bases of reasoning will lie used by Valley voters attempt ing to select whom they feel is the most qualified presidential candidate before they pull election booth levers Tuesday. Many, like the publishers, will probably take the advice of one of the candidates himself who, before the Democratic convention this summer, said he was not “temperamentally, physically or mentally’’ equipped for the presidency. Adlai Stevenson’s ac ceptance of the evergrowing record of failures and mistakes of the Tru man administration, as well as his own pre-election campaign, bears him out in this, his own estimation of per sonal capabilities. Additional consideration will and should occupy the minds of Valley voters, however, as they attempt to be “sure” they’re making a wise selec tion. Some of the questions voters may ask themselves are: 1. Was the US foreign policy af fecting Asia such as to discourage the invasion of helpless nations like South Korea? 2. Has the U. S. used every avail able means to decisively end the Kor ean war to keep American casualties at a minimum? 3. Although you’re probably mak ing more money than ever before, do you enjoy being told how to spend it, as well as losing your self-respect at the hands of the ever-growing num bers of federal bureaus and agencies? 4. Has the administration swiftly recognized and discharged swindlers and those with tainted political affil iations withn their ranks? 5. Has federal spending and the national deficit been kept at a safe level ? Depending upon the reader’s in terpretation of, and interest in, daily news reports, he may or may not agree with the NEWS in its opinion that the answers to these five specific voter considerations are “no.” The wide scope embodied in these few of the many questions facing the voter as he considers whether he will censure or give his approval of national governmental trends dis plays the importance of his pre-elec tion job. So the NEWS does not recom mend you just automatically pull some levers Tuesday, but that you cast aside old prejudices and affilia tions and give some real thought and consideration in your choice of the right party to occupy the White House for another four-year stretch. Voting in itself accomplishes little good for anyone unless behind it there has been a careful analysis of issues and candidates. Whether you approve of the pol itical stand of the NEWS or of your neighbors and friends in this impor tant presidential election, make sure you don’t regret in 1956 what you helped do on Nov. 4, 1952. AN EDITORIAL: Which Conference Do You Think Would Beller Preserve Peace? NO OPINION HERE If you’re a city voter looking for any opinion from the NEWS as to how you should vote between the two opposing slates of candidates, look no further. It isn’t here. Most city residents have had more time than, we to weigh the accomp lishments and failures of the adminis trations under Mayor Salvage and of his predecessor, Elwood Hussey. Weigh them carefully and wisely for the time is about ripe for several important city endeavors. The leader ship provided by council members el ected for the new four-year term aftd the mayor for two years will be an im portant factor in the development not only of the city but of the entire sur rounding area. How’s your bath water lately? Ours is mighty clean. Yours probably is too, if you’re using city water! Our thanks to city officials who made it possible. Via the familiar grapevine we hear agitation for immediate annex- aton is spreading in Cave Junction’s southern fringe area. How about your neighborhood? Couldn’t it also benefit within the next couple of years from being a part of, and not just on the sidelines of, the city gov ernment and its growing advan tages? lOOx o»«e4 J N Do/l "g tC* »g' m « rahraà M «a» im co '•</» O'»J use of eur g»>W po> rie« («Mia«» i»i e««et «.**> l-O« ir»! f .»«*«••/ ba e»«c/ee Ny.aff.6s> 4. st p.-ob'em feeing America ioday is: HOW DO WE STAY OUT OF WAR-WITH HONOR?
