RIGHT MAN FOR THE OFFICE.

The present publisher of the Ga
zette does not favor Charlie Myers for
congress because he is republican.
that is not solely because he is a
member of that party, but because we
have known the gentleman personally
Tor over thirty years, and we can add
that the longer we know him the bet
ter We like aim. And that is the same
feeling that is entertained by all who
have the pleasure and privilege of his
acquaintance. Indeed clean, high
minded. courageous, loyal gentleman
always appeals to the body polite, and
that is Charlie Myers. And to these
virtues may be added an even higher
human attribute. and that is honest
land honorable craftsmanship.
We say clean, because, in all the
years that We have known him. in
private and public life, we have never
heard whisper against the reputa-
ton Of Charlie Myers, and that can
be said of but few men who have been
thrown into the maelstrom of politics
as often as he has. The partisan press,
and the muck raking party clackers,
never overlook rift in the reputation
OF an opposition candidate, and the
man who can so through such a fire
without even the Odor of smoke upon
ais person can be set down as being
almost humanity immaculate. That can
be said OF but few who undergo the
acid test, and Charlie Myers is one of
tnose few
We say high-minded because Charlie
Myers never has and never will take
undue advantage of any man in pri-
Vate transaction, in political fight or
political intrigue. He plays fair.at all
times and under all circumstances.
We say courageous, because he never
carries water on both shoulders to
placa'te or win applause He never
promises the impossible in order to
curry favor or gain political advant-
age. He takes position on any public
question, and does not hesitate to ex-
press his views, and yet he is so lib
eral and so free of dOgmatic cock

sition is wrong upon any question of
public moment and can be convinced
by evidence and argument that ne is in
error, he does not hesitate to change
his views, and what few men have the
nerve and hardihiid to admit Mr.. My
ers does not hesitate to acknowledge
that his first impressions were erron-
eous.
His loyalty to country and party Is
an outstanding and refreshing attrib-
ute In this age when men are inclined
to hedge and pussyfoot as to their DO
litical leanings and where Lie ulcer
of disloyalty in a mild or aggravated
form prevails among so many. He be-
lleves in America and stands by the
government at all times and under all
circumstances. He is Harding re-
publican and never hesitates to say so.
lie would not remain silent upon that
question If he knew positively that he
could be elected to any office by so
doing
And one of his greatest virtues is
his high sense of spOrtsmanship We
do not mean by this that he is a pat
ron and supporter Of sports in tae
common accepted meaning OF the
WORD, although he is a manly man
and most enthusiastic hunter and
fisherman, but insofar as he Is ready
10 stand up to the scratch and give
and take in this battle of life, asking
no advantage of any man. Charlie
Myers would never do a mean act II
by so doing he could gain some bene-
lit. He would never use questionable
methods, nor permit any one posing
as his friend to do so, in order to win
single point in political campaign
or in a private transaction. He would
never say word that could be con-
strued as a REFLECTION upon the CHAR
acter OF political opponent. In the
long. drawn out controversy over the
nomination he insisted at all times
that no means should be employed but
what confirmed with the legal phase
OF the election law to win him the
nomination, and openly declared Elat
he did not want the nomination unless
the nomination was won according to
the correct Interpretation of the cleo
ton laws. From the very first Mr..
Myers publicly stated that if his op-
ponent in the primaries was declared
legally chosen he would at once enter
the campaign and work with all the
ability he possessed for his election
And that is just what Charlie Myers
would have done. and done willingly,
cheerfully and without entertaining
any personal grievance. And that Is
why the spirit of craftsmanship is so
much more highly developed in Char
lie Myers than in the great bulk of
the human family.
This is tle kind of man who is to-
day before the voters of the Fifth dis
trict as candidate for the office of
congressman and il he is elected.
