Is POLITICS UNCLEAN?

Those who do not take part in the
political affairs of their community
should not criticise the way it is
handled. II they leave the selection
of candidates up to the other fellow
entirely they may expect the other
fellow" to suit himself. with very lit
tie thought of picking men to suit
the man or woman who stays at
home
\ great number of very respectable
citizens in this. and in every COM
munity look upon politics as some
thing mean and low, suitable only
for the ward heeler or the practical
politician to participate in, and as
result they turn their party over to
that element by failing to attend its
assemblies and primaries.
This is true of both political parties
in many instances, and when the
liberal element or those who have
axes to grind. at public expense, Sc
cure control of public affairs. the
man or woman who stays at home de-
nounces palitics is "unclean."
If the politics of community is
not what it should be the people
have only to blame themselves. The
people generally get about as good
iemand, and no better.
