IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE!
"It's time for a change."
That's what one hears on all sides
as the campaign draws to a close. It is
a feeling, or state of mind, that may
result in many new faces in the house
and senate chambers at Washington.
People are wondering just where we
are headed and this wonder is grow
ing into anxiety in many quarters, for
it is apparent that after 10 years of
New Deal power grabbing there will
be no change of purpose in succeeding
years so long as that political group
is in power.
Just how far this vote will go is a
matter of conjecture, but expressions
heard from a few voters, some of them
farmers, mind you, the intention is to
do a lot of scratching of names that
have been in public places for several
terms. Their argument is that the pre
sent congress has failed to properly
function as a lawmaking body and is,
subservient to the administration. In
this they may be a trifle harsh, for it
must be remembered that in war time
the president has, powers far greater
than those delegated him in peace time
and that when things go wrong it is
easy to pass the buck to congress. Nev
ertheless, voters figure that a change
is necessary and so long as they have
the right to express their likes and dis
likes through the medium of the ballot
they propose to do a little target
shooting on their own.
Some of these voters have consist
ently supported Mr. Pierce in his va
rious political campaigns, helping to
put him in congress and seeing that he
stayed there.. They are now saying
that Walter has been there long e
nough, that new conditions are aris
ing daily and no one knowTs what will
develop following the war. It is time
for young men to learn the inside op
erations of government and they are
going to cast their ballots accordingly.
None of these people have other than
than the kindest words for Congress
man Pierce, who they believe has been
a faithful servant of the people, but
when they recall that he has been on
the public payroll more or less for the
past half century and that a vote for
him now would be against their belief
that the New Deal must be unseated,
they will remain steadfast in their re
ent. nent.
On the other hand, it is realized that
Mr. Stockman will have to learn the
ropes and may not, because he is anti
administration, loom large on commit
tee appointments during his first term.
The opposition is playing that string
fwith fervor in an attempt to scare
wheat farmers into the belief that all
will be lost if Congressman Pierce is
defeated. The farmers are not scaring
as easy as they might have a few years
ago, because they are wondering about
just how well off they are or will be if
the New Deal remains on the throne.
So long as the old crowd stays in
power there will be little chance for
the public to find out just what is go
ing on in Washington just what
plans, are under foot to seize more au
thority. The farmer may be getting a
little the best of it just now through
the wheat loan but where will he.be
when labor "gets complete control of
the administration? Just about one
more election and labor will be com
pletely in the saddle. If the farmer
thinks that will be a good thing he
should vote to retain the New Deal ; if
not, he should start the ball rolling for
a change of administration by casting
his ballot for Lowell Stockman for con
gressman from the second congressio
nal district.
VOTE THE COUNTY TICKET!
Importance of voting for officers
where no contest exists, is called to the
attention of voters. The office sought
by candidates without opposition is as
important as, if there !were several con
testants. To slight a candidate just be
cause he is the only one seeking the of
fice is to place no importance on that
office. In addition, the candidate feels
the indifference and it makes him won
der if it is worth while to give his best
efforts in conducting the office. So do
not fail to mark between the number
and name of candidate voted for where
there is no competition. It is a courtesy
and a mark of appreciation that will
be cherished by the one seeking the
office.
SNELL LOGICAL CANDIDATE
, Earl Snell is popular with the people
of the entire state. He is known in ev
ery nook and cranny, not as a political
handshaker but as a man with a record
of achievement in one high state office
which warrants giving him a trial as,
the state's chief executive. His service
on the board of control, as well as the
conduct of the office of secretary of
state, has been marked by real achieve
ment. Few men serving in the same ca
pacity have exhibited the rare ability
possessed by Snell, whose record in
promoting safety on the highways is
unequalled by any other official.
Attempts are being made to smear
Snell's record as a state official, but
the opposition has gained little head
way with such a program. His record
will bear investigation. The voters can
rest assured of a businesslike adminis
tration of the state's affairs the next
four years under the experienced
leadership of Earl Snell.
o
DON'T BE A SABOTEUR!
Things are different this year. We
are living in a world at war and our
very future existence depends upon
how well we conduct ourselves for the
duration. The slightest overt act has
an entirely different meaning than it
had before America entered the war
and what may have appeared as in'no
cent fun then is viewed with stern sus
picion today.
To the youth who may be inclined to
take a fling at Halloween pranks, let
us issue this word of warning : Be care
ful what you do lest you be termed a
saboteur. Keep your hands off other
people's property; refrain from dam
aging anything, for there is scarcely an
object you might injure or destroy
that is not difficult to replace, and
such replacement is taking something
from the war effort that will handicap
our boys at the front. A broken win
dow, a smashed light, or anything that
will embarrass or stop
the regular operation of
business, or transporta
tion may result in serious
trouble.
Forget Hallowe'en al
together. Stay inside and
mind your own business,
and you will be much hap
pier. Selfishness is the card
inal sin of the age.
