Sayings Which Will Make
Buckman Fight Harder
Than Ever

Alexandra Post News, rep. "The
announcement of State Senator Brow.
er's Withdrawal from the race for the
republican congregational nomination
or1ngs the republicans OF the Sixth
district face TO face with q critical
situation az it is only fair to presume
that that element in the republica q
party which measures pablic servi &C
1y those twentieth century ideals OF
President Roosevelt, and the LaFol.
Iettes OF the county, will endeavor to
nominate man for congress who
posses the desire qualifications. The
time ls not only dopportune, but the
eaeuation in tho district calls for q
free and open discussion of men and
analrs, and. perhaps. q somewhat Der.
sonal examination of the public con.
science. Whether the approaching
campaign of tho republicans In this
district will be one of apology or the
e1altation of men and the principles
OF good government, rests with the
voters of this district.
the blrthright of every American
citizep. out only too often sold for a
mees of pottsge, is honest and faithful
representation in our lawmaklng
bodies-in the local government, in
the STATE legislature and in con2rees-
public service which embraces the
welfare of all the people and not the
few. Anything short OF this Is a
travesty upon the boasted rights of
American citizenship and can only
exist where the people have been
blind to their infare Sta
This is the day of opportunity for
the man of big brain, and honest
heart and an incorroptible integrity,
the strong man of ideas with the
courage of his conviction, the man
who places record above the petty
achievements of the politician which
too often passes for the real thing in
estimating the standard of many of
the present day legislators. 1t is
scarcely necessary to draw the con.
trast. The former the nation needs,
the people are entitled to his service,
but the latter is of little credit to
himself or his constituents The man
who, in the main, plays the game
Of politics for what there is in It. in

favored few upon whom he relies in
carrying elections, has failed in his
comprehension OF the Offices Of hts
stewardship
The public acts. the public record,
yea, even the private life of the one
who assumes high responsibilities are
proper SUBJECTS OF review before the
highest OF all human tribunals
people.
:'rhe acceptance of these high
standards of public service ooligates
thu. public to an earnest endeavor to
secure their practical application.
That this has not been accomplished
in the Sixth congressional district is
today evidenced by thes widespread
dissatisfaction with existing condi.
tions, which, if not allsyed by the
nomination of strong man at the
approaching primary election, places
the party in great danger of losing its
representative in congress whore. at
the next session, every vote will be
needed to preserve republican ma.
jority, without which the republican
party cpn accomplish little IN the way
Of legislation. That this danger ex-
lists scarcely needs any demons1ation
sentiment at home and in other parts
Of the district. Two years ago the
powerful argument of q second term
accorded generally to public servants
and one which appealed most strongly
to the Post News, was used most
effectively IN overcoming the opposi-
tion to a re-. election.
This disaffection is stronger today
than ever and is not confined solely to
the anti-Buckman forces but has it's

fore almost impegnable machin9.. of
this shrewd politician.
The bitter attacks of the demo-
cratic opposition o: two years ago are
being renewed with greater force.
Charges and accusations are beiu 9
made which tho republicans of this
district cannot hope to successfully
combat and the fight, II, won, after
securing q denomination by default,
will be won by the republican party
oontesting every foot Of ground. .rhe
democratic party is alive to the situa.
tion and the advantages offered by
such contest. It is organizing and
will put forward one Of Its most avail
able men.

I'VE have but attempted TO give
voice to feeling shared with % by a
great many others in this district,
and the columns of tho Post News are
open to frank discussion of the
situation. Those who can urge
grounds upon which 1t would be ex-
pedient and Advisable to continue the
present administration are cordially
invited to make them known. The
opinion Of the majority should pre-
vail. A free exchange of views is
evidence of the good health of the
body politio.
