Within the next week or two the
probabilities are that a number of
candidates for state and district
offices will visit Randolph county
for the purpose of getting acquaint-
ed with the people and presenting
their respective claims for the diff
ferent offices. The state campaign
is now on In earnest and from now
until the primary election is held
politics will be the leading thought
in the minds of many people. 1t
shall not be the purpose of the Star
Herald to take any part in these
matters, politically, except as
affects the people of Randolph
county and Of the state. The in.
tererts of the people of Randolph
county shall be our interests at all
times. In all matters in this cam
paign the issues at stake and the
qualifications and past public record
of those who are aspiring to be the
servants of the people will be
noticed by this paper. Personali'
ties should have no place in politics
and we do not propose to wage a
campaign of abuse against any
candidate in order to try to inhu-
'ence the votes of any for the man
of our choice, but shall deal as
honestly in these as in other mat
GERS. We always try to have a
good and sufficient reason for sup
porting any candidate, based upon
the qualifications as before stated,
and wall present the same for the
consideration of our readers as the
occasion demands.

A Walnut RIDGE paper, loyt

A Walnut Ridge paper, loyal to
fault to its political friends, but
not so loyal to others, perhaps, ac
.cases this paper of having treated
Senator jeff Davis unfairly relative
to his speech made in Pocahontas
recently. Now, if we mis-stated
facts in any way we are not aware
of It. Friends of Senator Davis,
who were present, have not told us
that we did not treat him fairly ol
tnat we did not tell the truth. The
editor of the aforsaid paper was not
present, therefore his asserti on is q
very broad one.

the opportunity of ascertaining just
where each candidate stood upon
