WORDS .... barrage
It is discouraging to contem
plate the barrage of high-sound
ing but meaningless words which
will soon jam the airways and
crowd the daily newspapers as
'he presidential election of 1944
gets under way.
In connection with the primar
ies there was plenty of oratorical
warming up, but that v/as noth
ing compared with the deluge
which is to come and
nush everything but
momentous war events
background.
In wartime it seems almost
sacrilegious that the men who
run or hope to run our country
Tiould spend months of their val-
Table time preparing and deliver-
ng campaign speeches—but it is
-‘xtremely doubtful, unless the
neople show genuine resentment,
hat the candidates, whoever they
re, will let a mere war interfere
v/ith the fanfare which has ac-
empanied every election since
the beginning of our democracy.
It is vitally important to all of
us that we become thoroughly
familiar with the aims, the abili
ties, and the philosophies of the
various candidates—and to that
extent a certain amount of
speech-making is essential—but
if the ballyhoo could somehow be
squeezed out of the coming cam-
REASON plan
In a recent talk before a thou
sand publishers of daily news
papers, Eric Johnston, president
of the United States Chamber cf
Commerce, offered blueprints for
the kind of an election which, it
seems to me, we sflould aim to
have this year. He said:
“We should make this a cam
paign of calm reason rather than
blind prejudice, a campaign of
high principles, rather than hol
low slogans. The stakes are too
high, the decisions are too vital,
to be endangered by smear-words
and bitterness and unscrupulous
vote-grabbing.
“Mind you, I am not asking for
the surface unanimity all too fa
miliar under the totalitarian dis
pensation. The last thing I would
recommend is a namby-pamby,
punch-pulling campaign that re
veals nothing and decides noth
ing. Honest men must be forth
right and unafraid in defending
their convictions and principled
opinions. But we can live up to
the best tradition of American
sports—the code of the baseball
diamond—the football field. There
must be no wounds or sores of
class struggle left to fester after
the election.”
Mr. Johnston, who has himself
been mentioned as a candidate
for the presidency, may be over-
cptimistic in imagining that such
an election
be carried
as he outlines could
on in this country.
which will certainly the only way it is possi
ble is if the people raise their
voices now to make it clear to all
politicians that this is the only
kind of election they will tolerate
in 1944,
EVASION . . . politicians
The preliminaries to the 1944
campaign are not too promising
of its being a clean-cut, above-
the-board contest. For it is ob
vious that practically all leading
candidates are jockeying for posi
tion, closely following the advice
of their political henchmen, say
ing only those things which it is
“safe” to say and refusing to re
veal their stand on vital subjects
until they consider it the appro
priate time from the political
viewpoint.
Thomas Dewey, the leading Re
publican candidate, has never re
pudiated his original statement
that he would not run, although
Republican leaders all over th3
country seem to take it for grant
ed that he will; President Roose
velt has so far been unwilling tJ
| let the people know whether he
i will run for a fourth term; Wen-
! dell Willkie has apparently dron-
) ped out of the race but is rumor
ed to have something “up his
sleeve”; Eric Johnston has sal 1
he is not interested in being a
presidential candidate, although
many people close to him fe:I
that he would be very much in
terested if he thought he had a
fair chance.
So, as matters stand now, when
it is tune the people knew the t-
pinions and convictions of all
candidates, we are actually put i i
the dangerous position of not of
ficially knowing who the candi
dates are.
If there is any chance that thi;
campaign v/ill be the kind Mr.
Johnston proposes, it would seem
that the immediate step would be
for all candidates who are goir-i
to run to lift their hats off th;
fence and throw them squarely
into the middle of the ring.

Don’t Destroy Tire
Inspection Record
E. H. Talbert, District Director
of OPA issued a warning to mo
torists not to discard their tire
inspection records. Mr. Talbert
said—“motorists must keep their
tire inspection records even
though the requirement .for peri
odic inspections has been lifted.
This is most important.
Mr. Talbert stated further that
the tire inspection form, which
contains a record of all gasoline
rations issued to an automobile as
well as a record of tire inspec
tions, must still be presented to
the ration board whenever appli
cation is made for a gasoline or
tire ration. It must be kept with
the automobile when it is be
ing operated, and must be trans
ferred with it if it is sold.
Also when the purchaser of an
automobile applies for his ration,
he must present to the ration
board the tire inspection record
he received with the automobile,
and receive a new one.

The local War Price and
tioning office will be closed
