PICKING CANDIDATES
V. rious Republicans are now engaged in tossing their
hats if the nng or trying to find some one to urge them to
do so. 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.
