There is a responsibility in being a can
didate of letting people know.
Everyone putting himself forward as a
prospective public servant is, foremost, con-
cerned with election. And in that effort, the
outstanding mannerism is to curry confi
dence and support.
A candidate must let people know what
his ideas are and how he arrives at con
clusions. Whether this is done by the round
about method of comparing present state
ments with past statements or more directly
in face-to-face discussions is immaterial.
The test which a seeker-after-office should
pass is that of basic qualification for the
task he would assume.
The history of political campaigns has
many instances where a candidate offered
an amazing platform of issues, all of which
were promptly and unceremoniously neglect
ed upon election.
It is impossible for anyone not gifted with
a sense of sure prophecy to promise results
in office. Surely to foist such prophesies
upon a voting public in order to win confi
dence and support is the shakiest kind of
political gambling.
What is eminently more valid than blue
prints of future acts is a sincere appraisal
of the basic issues facing us now, as an indi
cation of what to expect from critical de
velopments of the future.
A voting public likes to know the back
ground of the men asking election. Certainjy
the fact of family and of achievements in
the past is accepted as a soand indication of
fitness.
No one elevated to public office need con
sider

has been favored with a ]>ersonal honor for
which nothing more is due. Who ever is
elected, to whatever position in county, state
or national government, is basically a public
servant and his responsibilities are in terms
of public service.
November 7 is fast approaching and it is
the desire of .this paper that all candidates
for all offices have fair opportunity to de
clare themselves before the critical judg
ment of the public.
In the way of an invitation, therefore, we
ask all those whose names will appear on the
fall ballot to step forward and let the people
know who they are, what they are and how
they think on controversial issues of the
day.
W e will be glad to help anyone in his
presentation of ideas.
So, candidates, step up and say your piece!

HITCH-HIKERS’ PASSING
A symbol of the changing world is the
matter of hitch-hikers.
Twenty years ago and more, the practice
of “ snagging a ride” from a motorist going
your way was accepted. While there were
less cars on the highway, at least this meth-
od gave satisfactory Daasatre for manv from
one end of the country to another. V’
There was a reward of gratitude, in those
days, for any motorist who stopped to pick
up a foot-traveler along the way. And, until
abuses began to show up, the idea was not
only tolerated but rather widely indulged,
Today, however, it is against the law in
most states to pick up *\ "hitcher” . Because
of robberies, murders and lesser crimes
which these pickups have encouraged, ac-
ceptance of hitch-hikers is at an ebb-tide.
. So now. on the public highway», a motor-
ut whizzes by patient pedestrians of the

to be lamented in the passing of an old cus-
