A QUERY IS ANSWERED
1,1 - i
i. nialliTrlhunn tn favor of Voting the Republican ticket
straight T This, Bnema (o ba the jxllcy in this cnmutitRn. Tint
has caused this . rlght-about-faco? Only a few years ago, several
of un listened to..' pastor at the oi' Page Theatre assail the Mall- '
Tribune ior not .beinar regular. II ul you went rkht along anil
boosted Mr the election of the late Senator Chamberlain, a staunch
Democrat. Wo Nked thnt attitude of fairness and independence.
Ilut now llxo M.-T. has apparently scon ihe error of its. ways, and
sounds like lost from tho O. O. P. canipRjgn book. Thcro must
bo a reason . '. ... -
TICERE is-. It we lo' Round like tho Republican campnign
book, our 'valued correspondeut who reifjuosts lhat his
name be withheld cant blame it all on a certain nentleinan by
the naiwc of Hoover.
When the Kcpublieati party did what we lx-garded eight
years ago ns impossible, '.iud nominated for the Presidency, a
man who represented and represents, the fincsit and best io
American public life, reRatvllufcs of all partisan considerations
we became an enUiusiastic aiid uncomproniising supporter of
that party, and as far as naitional issues are tsoncerued, vo
cau be placed in that catcgorv today. ;
We haven't jead the Repibliean campaign, book, so we
can't judge whether or not our correspondents flatterii.g com
parison is warranted. But we !au sa.v, that if any statiiineuts
which have appeared uu this eollimn are identit-ai witli any in
the aforesaid book, the Republican publicity eommittfc must
havo borrowed from us, for . wo have never borrowed from
them. . i ' "
As to "voting the ticket straight," however, the Mail-Tribune
stands precisely where it has always stood and will con
tinue to staad as long as it is under its preseut mtuiagcment.
This paper is the spokesman- of no party. Its news columns
are open equally to the members of all parties, and as far as
state and local offices arc concerned, it intends in this cam
paign, as it has in all previous campaigns to support those can
didates, it believes art betet qualified for the positions to which
they aspire, regardless of their party labels.
More than that we urge vsll our readers to do likewise. For
in our judgment there is nothing moT-e detrimental to good
local government than that narrow partisanship, whwh places
party above principle, which p'accs the party label a candidate
may wear, above his character and attainments.
No sensible person denies the necessity of party organiza
tion. But there is no more reason why a newspaper should be
long exclusively to. one party than a ehurch or a public library.
A newspaper should above all else be a "news" paper. It
should give its readers the news, of its community and the
world, accurately and impartially. And second it should be
devoted to whatever it considers is for the betterment of that
community.
Any newspaper therefore, that fe what politicians call "reg
ular" and regardless of conditions or persons, goes down the
line every year for every issue that has the party sanction, and
for every candidate that wears the. party . label, front dpg
catcher to president, can't do either of these things. In any
real sense it ceases to be a newspaper and becomes merely a
colorless and meaningless party organ.
So pur non-partisan, Democratic and what-not friends need
not worry about this paper going 100 percent Republican this
year. Nor any year. In fact not uhtill ALL the good men,
good issues and worth-while principles are in that party, and
in no other. . ' '
True at the present rate of O. O P. progression that may
some day happen. But when it does, we have an idea we will
he playing on something more musical than a Remington type
writer. ,
