SUBSCRIPTION RATE, $3.00 PER YEAR SINGLE COPY, 10 CENTS It's Open Season Again For the next year the people of this country will be engaging in the great American pastime of listening to, arguing about, and participating in the once-every-four-years mud slinging bout that's commonly known as an election year. There has already been an abundance of paper and ink, radio time and after-dinner hours consumed and we've hardly got a start. It looks like this one is going to be a dilly. We've soon numerous comments but we be . lieve the editorial published recently by the Lake county Examiner of Lakeview sizes things up just about as well as they can be figured out this early in the game. The last paragraph, in particular, in the editorial reprinted here pretty well sums up the present political situation. POLITICAL INDIGESTION "The only thing that Is known about next year's elections is that Sen. Robert Taft will seek the Republican blessing as their presidential candi date. And that's a discouraging bit. . If the Repub. lican party is not yet dead, it can easily administer its own coup de grace by nominating Taft. Among the many critics of Truman's adminis tration, Taft Is foremost; but his leadership is negative. In the great debate over foreign policy, for instance, he was loudest in shouting blame; but he offered no positive course. Taft is simply 'against'. As for Truman, only he knows whether he will run in 1952. But most guessers guess he will. And that's another discouring bit. The big laugh comes with development of the moves to bag Eisenhower as a presidential candi date. Republicans are most active in that di rection, but the Democrats have yearnings toward the famed general, too. And apparently none of them know his political party. Hhat might make a difference. Apparently none of them know whether Eisenhower even belongs to a political party, or whether he ever voted. All they know is that Eisenhower is popular with the people. He's a great war hero, a genius at military organization. But what are his views on domestic policies or foreign relations? Have you ever seen any printed word along those lines? Ap parently those items are just not worth worrying about. Apparently the main idea is to merely choose a popular man, and no one is more popular than Ike." We wonder if it ever occured to anybody that maybe General MacArthur didn't make a speech in Portland just because he didn't have anything to say.
