LOOKING THEM OVER

The neighborS of Candidate John
w. Davis derived much amusement
from the letters he recently received
from various cranks telling him why
they could not vote for him. 81 can
never vote for former president of
a Bar Association" one Prohibition
ist wrote. I'm sorry you have been
sued for breach of promise" sympa-
thized another. And yet> on similar
issues other candidates have been
elected or defeated, strange as it may
seem.
A great number of the citizens of
the United States vote against a man
instead of for him. Thousands of New
Workers back in 1884 changed their
minds overnight because a friend of
James G. Blaine made an indiscreet
remark in a speech, and voted for
Grover Cleveland instead of the
Plumed knight. New York's electoral
vote went to Cleveland by few
hundred majority, and he was cleo
ted.
1t is easy to recall that Candidate
Hughes failed to meet and shake
hands with Senator Johnson when he
visited California in 1916. Senator
Johnson's friends resented the alleged
affront and voted for Wilson. If six
teen hundred voters there had voted
for Hughes instead of Wilson in that
election, Hughes would have won Cal
ifornia's electoral vote and thereby
been elected.
Only four years ago, many people
did not vote for Harding because they
were told by his opponent that Hard
ing was "an Ohio brewer"
Many people do not estimate man
according to his training, ability, past
performances and craftsmanship. Ac-
cording to them the qualifications OF
candidate are whether he parts his
hair on the right or left side? Is he
right handed or left handed? Does
he put a quarter or dollar in the
collection box? Is he pigeon-toed or
knock-kneed?
Why worry about tax reduction,
world court and prosperity?-King-
man, Kansas, Leader-Courier.

PRETTY SOFT FOR THE EDITOR

"WeI, now your paper is out, SO
you can take it easy" was the re-
mark of visitor at the Independent
office the other day. At the very mo-
ment he got off his wise crack we
were laboring on the typewriter on
material for next weeks paper. One
of the incest things about publishing
a paper, you know, is that when you
get out one issue all in the world
you have to do is to set to work to
get out another one.-Eskridge (Kan.)

OF VOCATIONAL
EDUCATION COMPLIMENTED

High tribute to the work of the
department of vocational education
of the state of Arizona is paid in a
letter received by A. M. Davis, state
director, from the Office of the fed
eral board.
The letter deals particularly with
the rapid advancement made by the
Arizona authorities in furthering in
dustrial education through part time
evening classes for those employed
in mines and other industries. The
movement has the enthuiastic sup
port of mine operators.
The letter was written by H. A.
Tiemann, agent of industrial educa-
ence held at Flagstaff in which the
state was represented by G. c. Mann,
state superintendent of trade and in
dustrial education After compliment
ing Director Davis and Supervisor
Mann for the excellent promotional
work done by the state department
the writer says:
ARIZONA is the first state to at
tempt to pyramid the foreman train
ing program in the Pacific region,
and after seeing the results of our
conference l am convinced that you
chose the right methodt / believe
we sold our program to every person
present; l know that we developed
at least three conference leaders, per-
haps four, and every man present
was thoroughly convinced that the
philosophy of your program is sound
and correct. In addition to the above
we secured from mining representa-
tives some excellent suggestions for
an educational program in mining
communities.
"I wish also to compliment Mr..
Mann on his organization ability Be-
ing together for the full two weeks
gave us an opportunity to discuss
many problems and 1 found him
thinking straight on all of them. An
other year or so should see the Ari-
zona program fully on it's feet and
out of danger of serious setbacks.
The letter also contains a high
tribute to the work of Lura Lee Bal
ley, assistant supervisor for part
time classes.

TREAT CANDIDATES KINDLY

TREAT CANDIDATES KINDLY
Citizens of the United states are
enjoying the period of acquaintance
necessary before selection is made of
officials to attend to our business.
Candidates are busy making acqualn-
tances with the voters and presenting
their claims for preferment. Unfor-
tunately a few aspirants for office
have the mistaken idea of abusing
others who seek the same Office. This
is a bad practice because knockers
have no place in the affections of the
American people.
Seeking office is not a pleasant
task and the public should be kind to
those who seek Office in a clean,
manly way
But when a lying whelp goes thru
the country telling evil of his oppon-
ent, shun him like mad dog.
Lying lips are an abomination to
the Lord"
No person can lift himself by the
boot-straps. neither can he elevate
himself by destroying the character
of another.
Nominations for president and vice
president have been made already.
The three sets of candidates are all
honorable men, entitled to no abuse.
Go to the public meetings, read the
newspapers and when election day
arrives, enter the booth and vote for
the good of the Nation as your con-
science dictates. But remember the
government will live no matter who
is elected.-Messeng
AS the campaign grows, the usual
political factions line up their "slate
making" with hand-picked candidates
that are pushed into the ring under
the plea of strong men" by new
political machine said to be associ-
ated with the Highline Canal. Such
combinations are deplorable and al
ways retroactive. Gov. Hunt boosted
the Highline project and now it looks
like they are turning him down for
Sidney Osborne and D. B. Heard's
ridiculous improvement on the pact.

Edgerton, president of the Ma tional Association of Manufactur- CTS.
 MT. Edgcrton declared the "ele- ments of distrust and suspicion, prejudice, hatred, discontent and vengeance have been multiplied and are being brought together with a dangerous power by an enterprise ing genius from Wisconsin who is never happy except when conspicu- ous as either a destructionist or obstructionist."
 Except for the human element of responsiveness of the egotlstic to the appeal of the demagogue, he declared. that arch demagogue, La Toilette, and all other demago- gues X would be compelled to find some useful employment for their misapp)led talents"
