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.
