Backgrounds to Be Studied.
Candidates are to be scrutinized as
to their background. interest in local

age Of their party in the district and
Endorsement by pressure groups.
Two questions in regard to con-
gressional candidates will be studied
in detail. They are: Are they running
on national issues and how do they
react to them. and are your congress
sional candidates running only on
local ISSUES and their own personal
qualifications?
IT national ISSUES are to be solved" F"
said Miss Wells. they must be brought
to the attention Of the voters in their
local districts. We must realize that
