It is a phenomenon that regularily occurs every four year 9 n enr land wilhthe party out of office furnishing the major part of the excitement as the party in office is usually forced to nominate the zncumbent who sits in the presidential chair. Politicians differ as to the best procedure for prosp ec tive candidates to follow*. Some like to get in the fiela early and others want to wait until a month or so before the conventions. Some have won either way. Senator Borah, independent Idaho solon, has announ* ced himself after years of flirting with the idea of being president. He has been criticized by Simeon D. Fess, for mer senator from Ohio, for entering the Ohio primary. Il is, of course, Mr. Fess’ privilege to criticise Mr. Borah whenever he pleases. It is an old American political cus tom anyhow*, but nothing should be done to prevent Mr. Borah from entering the lists in Ohio or anywhere else. Repubiicana will determine the kind of candidate they want and the widest choice possible should be theirs. Party lines have been so badly stretched in the last few years to be of little consequence and if Republicans wish to vote for a liberal or a conservative they will be able to find a candidate in the party. The same applies tc the Democrats. There are ardent new dealers whose registration is Republican. There are plenty conservative Democrats who object to much that has been done recently under the name of the party. Those who vote for one party consist ently never carry elections these days. It is the group tha; changes with the policies and candidates offered that is the deciding factor in national elections. In state and local elections the party label means less than does the qualifi cations of the candidate. It is safe to assume that voters will speak their minds to such an extent that the party leaders who do the actual job of nominating will be able to pick candidates who will meet with the approval of each large class of voters.
