Make Your Candidate Tell Where He

"Every time heretofore shat we
have sent q candidate to the Leg
islature from our county," said a
public spirited citizen to the writ
or yesterday,"w e have been buying
a pig in a poke. We didn't know
where he stood about anything T.
In fact, q candidate seemed to
think it his chief purpose to keep
the people from knowing where he
stood instead of to let them
know"
but We are going to change all
that this year." he went on. IL
don't know who's going to be our
Senator, but one thing sure, he
has got to tell the people where
he stands. He has got to give us
his platform"
It is to be hoped that voters ID
thousand counties in the South
are feeling the same way. Our
farmers need to give less atten-
ton to electing candidates and
more attention to selecting them.
Have q county platform if posi-
BILE, but if you can't get that, at
any rate make every candidate for
the Legislature give his views on
all such issues as we suggested
last week, and then vote for him
according to whether his platform
is good or poor.
The only real test is as to how
q candidate stands on these mea-
sures for the upbu!lding of the
county and the State. We have
said that we want to see more farm
ers in the Legislature. but we
had rather have a constructive,
progressive lawyer any time than
a ssandpat, unprogrsssive farmer.
