the imparting of information to
the public concerning men who
| seek to represent the interests of
! the commonwealth. This is a
very important duty, for the vot-
er as a rule is not acquainted with
the men seeking his vote. In or
der to give him an intelligent
idea of how he should vote, the
qualifications Of each candidate
should be published in the news
papers.
1t should be the aim Of our vot-
erS to elect such men to office who
are of unquestioned integrity and
who are qualified to perform the
duties of the office they seek. The
good fellow" who does not
possess the necessary qualifica-
tons, should be relegated to the
discard. Personal likes and dis
likes shouldn't enter in the ques-
ton when we come to elect men
to positions of trust. These facts
should be placed before the read
ing public in an impressive man
ner. The reason why one candi-
date should be given preference
over another should be set forth
in plain language, no matter if it
does hurt the other fellow. The
public's interests are at stake and
as the newspaper is more or less
a public institution it becomes its
duty to conserve those interests,
or at least make an effort to con-
serve them, as far as possible.
This it cannot do unless it gives
publicity to the candidates, even
if it has to be given free of charge.
The Banner will give all the ac-
curate information it can obtain
concerning the various candidates
for office next year. 1t will not
"throw mud" but the man whose
record is not clean may rest as
sured that we shall publish that
record so far as it can be substan-
tiated. I'VE are going to work
"tooth and nail" for those men
whom we honestly believe will
best serve the people of our state
and county. Personal friendship
or enmity will not count with us

FRIENDS IN OREGON
Interested in Charlotte Harbo1
Bridge

Baker, Oregon, July Is, 1919
Mr.. A. p. Jordan,
Editor Herald,
Punta Gorda, Fla:
Dear Sir:--Was very glad to
read in your issue of July 10th
that the "bond issue" for com
pleting the bridge across Char
lotte Harbor had been carried.
Of course, no wise taxpayer would
vote against such a proposition,
leaving a bridge two-thirds finish
ed. The finishing of the bridge
must certainly mean much to the
future growth Of Punta Gorda
and the lands lying on the north
side Of the Harbor, which are at
present cut off from town. This
should open up the lands on
Lemon Bay, as the bridge will
give access to town, instead of
days journey around by way of
Fort Ogden or Arcadia, With
best wishes, Cordially,
A. l.. Williams.
P. S.-If you could publish
diagram in some issue of your pa
per showing location of bridge
with roads running to different
towns and sections around Punta
Gorda, it might interest outside
parties in settling on some of
those lands.-A.L.W.
EDITORS NOTE.-IIave al
ready arranged with Mr. E. V.
Camp, engineer in charge Of the
work, to prepare the suggested
diagram; and, as soon as he has
time to make the drawing and it
can be engraved, it will be print
ed in The Herald.
