Study The Candidates

THREE weeks ago The Gazette called the attention
of voters to the fact that while know quite
well what candidates for president and governor
have done and plan to do, careless, rule,
about demanding platforms from candidates for seats
in the legislature and the county board.
Since that time candidate, Albert Pfaender of
New Ulm who seeks Mike Kramer's position as repre-
sentative-a-large from Redwood and Brown counties,
has made his position clear several issues Before
going to the polls voters should insist upon similar
declaration by other candidates.
These officers of vital Importance The voter
should make every effort to study the records of
holding these offices and vote to keep them in office
if they have performed their duty to GUST them if
others better qualified and likely to serve
faithfully.
Vague promises are the vehicles by which too
many men ride into office while others attempt to
hitch themselves to political parties to achieve the
end. The voter pays for efficiency in office; he
well afford to insist that he gets it.
In this respect we might mention economy which
is the most popular word in the political dictionary
this year. We may well afford to ask whether the
candidate the kind of alleged economy that
tears down what we have sacrificed time and dollars
to build or if he means the economy which of
freeing the county of wasteful expenditures
both large and small.
Don't Be Alarmed
about this period in almost any major political
~ campaign, attempts are made by partisan inter-
= ests to scare the voter into voting Democratic
or Republican the may be Gin order to save
this great commonwealth from chaos"
few may be frightened by these century old
tactics which doubtful politics and certainly not
craftsmanship but wise voters will study the policies
of the candidates and the reactions of the markets
and business indexes, the tide swings way and
another, and vote accordingly.
In this regard we quote the following from the
Wall Street Journal: without assuming to decide be-
tween the respective merits and the respective policies
of the two candidates and the probable effect of the
election of either upon the economic and financial
situation of this country it is well to remember that
the power of either to make break recovery IS
limited. Strictly speaking, it does not exist. The
most that either do is either to accelerate brake
a movement which will irresistbly accomplish itself
in the long rum Those who believe that the choice
of either is choice between recovery and Chaos
and it matters nothing with which of these alternatives
one links his favorite-are deceiving themselves. II
we have low tide, if we have seen the turning
point of the crisis there is happily good ground
for believing, neither President Hoover Governor
Roosevelt can reverse the tide renew the crisis
"This is something which the financial community
should keep clearly in mind. Whatever happens on
November g. things not going to be nearly good
as the gratifed voters will hope nearly bad as
the disappointed voters will fear

To SPOT
WHERE HE WAS
DISCOVERED
BromSIoW GoIkoSki Vague on
What Happened After He
Was Struck in Mouth

BrOmslow Golkoski, 15-year-
old Mckinley High School
student, who was found bound
and gagged in Rock Creek
Park early New Year Day, was
questioned at length today by
police and is to be taken this
afternoon to the spot where he
was discovered unconscious by
a passing motOriSt.
The boy was brought to the
First precinct station from Gar
field Hospital where he was
treated yesterday, and was
Quizzed for more than three hours
by the officers.
Sticks to the Story
Detective j. w. Shimon, of the
Eighteenth precinct, who has
been working on the case, said
that the boy had not changed his
story.
The officers are skeptical about
the youths tale and frankly ad-
nit that so far they have been
unable to find any motive.
GolkoSki was discovered in the
park shortly before a. m. yeSter-
day by Fred E. AltemuS, of 294l
Twenty-eighth st. N. W., when he
drove to the park with his wife.
TEoorc ROyIS C-oonS
Groans led Mr.. Altemus to the
spot, about 20 feet from Beach
Drive. near Pierce Mill Road. He
investigated and saw the boy
stretched out, bound hand and
foot, with heavy tire tape, and
gag binding his r,o''th.
The youth later told police he
had spent the early part of the
evening down town in company
with a friend of the family, cele-
brating New Year Eve.
He went into a restaurant at
Ninth and E Streets Northwest,
he said, and had something to
eat.
He then got on a street car, he
said after leaving his friend, out
got off and returned to the res
taurant and stood on the corner.
Struck in the Mouth
Some one suddenly struck him
on the mouth, he told police, and
after that he cannot recall what
happened.
1t is possible, police say. the
boy may have been the victim OF
New Year Eve celebrants, who
carried the joke too far.
