EDITOR BEATEN
FOR OFFICE IN

INDIANAPOLIS Ind, July -
Should a newspaper editor enter
politics?
That is the question four Indiana
editors are cogitating following
their recent defeats in endeavoring
to be governor Of Indiana.
Journalism entered the political
field with vengeance during the
recent primary in Indiana, but EN-
erged without success. Frederick
Lands, Longansport editor. nearly
landslided into the Republican NOM
nation, but the politicians rallied
against him and nominated another.
Thomas H. Adams, crusading Vim
cennes, Ind, publisher scored third
to the second of Lands in the pri-
mary and also lost out.
Democrats Also
In the Democratic race, Samuel
B. Wells, Scottsburg editor, and
George r. Dale, editor of the Mum
Gle Democrat, were also rams.
Although four out of 19 aspiraf1ts
were from the journalistic ranks,
none was successful.
Dale, in a recent editorial, ex-,
planned the defeat OF the editors,
as follows:
THE people like to read our
newspapers and take our advice in
the matter of voting for candidates
as long as we do not advise them.
to vote for ourselves. They draw
the line at the preposterous act VI
effrontery.
The newspaper man who takes
his job seriously has plenty Of
work to do without being bothered
by the responsibilities of office
holding. The way to get along in
politics Is to be q good fellow with
the bodyY put your conscience III
cold storage until the votes are
counted and then put 1t to. work or
leave 1t on ice just as policy die
tates. z
Too Slow For Politics
Dale believes that the editors are
not up to the politicians in ped
ding the bunk.
The professional politician, in mis-
view, has a number of tricks that
the self-respectin editor hesitates
to employ.
"The way to win Is to point with
pride, view with alarm. wave the
flag, shake every greasy paw that
is not otherwise engaged, play ball
with the bootleggers and the ANTI
Saloon League, conjure up In the
Jackson and be q hell Of fellow
generally, Dale continued.

In scarcely more than 900 years,
