Endorsements are a tradition we are of proud of. I believe that it is part of our job, this watering of the tree of democracy. The readers, of course, will make their own choice. We hope the endorsements are considered when they are making those choices. But even when the voter makes a choice different than ours, the endorsement should provoke the thinking that leads to a reasoned decision.
Voting is a right that has been bought at dear expense.
This newspaper takes it seriously. We hope the citizens continue to hold it just as dearly. All rights reserved.
