It is cciiernlly accepted ainoiif.' impartial political observers
thai tin' best campaign speeches delivered thus far in the cin-
' piiijrM by either side have been delivered by Senator Horah of
Idaho advoeatintr the rlect'on of Herbert Hoover.
And yet the Mail-Tribune has printed no report of any of
them. Why 7 Because wc could 'not iet them; Jiiev were de-
livered at night, and the Associated Press, for some reason not
clear to ns, decided they were jiot important enough to carry
over to the dav report which, of course, is the report tho
Mail-Tribune receives.
For the same, reason wc received no word on the Van Dyke
talk although when we heard reports of its great merit, tried
to get it. No Smith fanatic wanted that, speech more than we
did Thursday afternoon, lor we needed ji front-page leader
but it never eaiue. i
We make this explanation under no delusion that it will con
vince, our Al-coed friends they are getting a s'liiare deil. These
complaints will continue until the campaign is over they are
all a part of the amusing political psychosis.
Hut between extremists on both sides there are a large num
ber of fair-minded people, who might conclude where there is
so much conversational talk there must be .some justification, if
the true facts of the caui- were not pointed out. &o it is to them
that this explanation is directed.
The Mail-Tribune is opposed to (he election of Governor
Smith anil strongly in favor of the election of Secretary Hoo
ver. For the first time in 12 years we have found a candidate
whom we are for If (0 per cent, anil who arouses in us genuine
enthusiasm.
We intend to do everything we can in this column to in
crease Mr. Hoover's majority in Jackson Courtty. Hut we don't
intend and we never have tried either to color our news, ot
to restrict it, in favor of one presidential candidate or against
another.
The news columns of this paper are open to candidates of
both the major parties under precisely the same conditions. We
admit there have been practically no Smith communications
printed since the campaign started, but that has certainly not
been our fault. Xo Smith communications Jiave been received.
One of the most extraordinary features of this extraordinary
campaign has been the universal reluctance of Smith support
ers tq. get into print or in any way unfurl their colors to tho
public view.
We know scores of ardent Smith supporters, but not one of
them will mark a Smith ballot that is a straw one not one
will write-a communication for publication endorsing 1 heir can
didate, and not one-half of one per cent of them will even
wear a Smith button.
rerhapsJJrts little announcement will bring sonic of them
out in the open. We hope so. For the more general the dis
cussion on both sitles the better for all concerned. The one
sitled character of our letter box the past few weeks, for ex
ample, has been no more pleasing to us than it has to our Smith
sonian friends. Hut, lo repent, no pro-Al communicants would
conic in.
To return to our original thesis, however, the Mail-Tribune
has not discriminated against (inventor Smith in its news col
umns, at any time in the past, and does not intend to tin so in
the future.
Such a procedure would not only be opposed to our long
established policy, but it is, to our way of thinking, absolutely
iinneeessarv.

files of this paper, the past four weeks, they will find the fol-(as requested us to sign tho state-
in the paper, assuring us that he
would not use the same unless he
wins compelled to for at least twr
weeks. We signed tikis statement
under prolest, notwithstanding the
fact that the statements in there
were true, but in our opinion rather
misleading.
Tho fact of tho matter is, we felt i
that we did not receive the assist
ance from Judge Thomas relative
to the matters slated in this so-
called partial report that we were
entitled to receive and wc feel that '
for the public to understand this,
the juilga should print this partial
report; that without this so-called
partial report Dem; printed tne
public Is In the dark as to what
tho controversy Is, If you may call
It a controversy, is all about. Fur
thermore, in the statement submit
ted to us, there was no heading "Po
ll ical Trap," like appeared In a lo
cal newspaper headline, nor was
there any heading "OosbIp Nailed."
Tho grand Jury stuted to the
judge that they felt that this was,
In a measure, nn attack upon MtB.
(Jrlve, nnd they should not be re
quested to sign It nor should It be
used by the judge. But, upon Ills
insistence thnt they sl;n the same,
they finally did so after in a meas
ure being coerced. One of them
at least not Blgnlng until he had
spent two hours with the judge.
Personally, 1 do not think that we
should have been requested to sign
such a statement, and I do not
think the judge should use it for
political purposes. I feel that Mrs.
Grive did her best, as did all the
other Qrand jurors, in performing
a very difficult task, and that the
attacks made upon the jurors by
Pert Anderson and this request
from Judge Thomas to sign such a
statement are wrong and uncalled
for.
Wo feel that If there were any
mistakes or errors made in this
matter tho Judge was more respon
sible than any other person for
tho same.
