ASKS COMPARISON
OF CANDIDATES.

OE NAN OLOAA ESs
Records Of public work are good data
perhaps the best data-for guidance of
voters in choosing party candidates. Ia
discharglng this vital function-the
choosing Of party andidates-citizens
give Judgment exclusively on the onS
question which has already been stated,
and must be stated again and again
the comparative qualifications Of those
candidates for the particular public
service to be rendered by that particular
officer during the particular period for
which he is to be elected.
II two candidates for the same office
have both served in that office, and made
records in that office, the voter ought
to examine and compare those records
and decide accordingly. No candidate
should shrink from that scrutiny and
comparison.
Obviously this is a subject which can
didates would prefer to leave to the In
dependent and vigilant examination OF
voters; and only the claims and asser-
tions Of the opposition compel reference
to the matter.
SO let specifications be provided. Let
the voters be informed of laws written.
policies formulated, debates made, as
well as votes given, that make up the
records Of both candidates. That Is only
fair, is It not?
/ shall not again REFER 10 tnls matter
unless forced to do so, but 1t Is certain,
of course, that our common enemy, the
Democratic organization, will shape
Democratic tactics in the fall campaign
by the public record in the Senate of the
candidate whom we Republicans nomin-
ate in May.
Another assertion is made which, If
true, far more deeply concerns party
welfare-indeed, is vital to- party har-
mony, spirit and vigor; and it applies
to both parties, and all parties, since 1t
goes to the heart of party existence.
It has been said a thousand times in
the press, and countless times by word
Of mouth, not only all over Indiana, but
throughout the Nation, that in this pri-
mary contest the official organization of
our party, acting under "orders," has
taken sides, and is striving to nomin-
ate one candidate, and to defeat the
other candidate. I never Will believe
this report unless aud until 1t is proven
by open and overt acts on election day.
I know 1t to be false in some cases
and in certain places, because some Of
our local party organizations have de-
cided upon neutrality and are acting ac-
cordingly, as they ought to do, and are
in honor bound to do-acting as party
morality, party tradition, party policy
and party welfare all require them to do.
But If such q wise and honorable course
is not being followed elsewhere, If our
official party organization is working for
one candidate and against the other, then
such organization is false to its trust.
