THE LESSER
CANDIDATES

Most California voters will not do
much brow wrinkling over their ballots
when once they have passed the offices
of governor, lieutenant governor L. S.
senator and congressman. The outcome
of a large part of the election is fore
gone conclusion.
We believe it is a compliment to the
intelligence of the public in California
that there is little question about the
election of Frank c. Jordan as secretary
of state, Charles G. Johnson as treasurer,
Earl Warren as attorney general and in
this district it is pleasant to consider that
William G. Bonelli is virtually assured
of election to the state board of equali-
Zation and Clarence Walker is sure to
be reelected state assemblyman from
Imperial county.
In each case the candidate is an out
standing man, and in each case he is
either without opposition or is opposed
by weak representative of the Commu-
mist, Socialist, Townsend or Prohibition
party.
In the only contested race in Imperial
county, for county office, voters are
given the opportunity of choosing be-
tween four men, Milton D. Zinn, Roy Z.
q.
son, for Public Administrator.
The race, we believe, lies between Zinn
and Breedlove, and because the choice
between them is purely a matter of per-
sonal inclination we shall not take any
position.
Breedlove is longtime resident of I'M
perial Valley, a good business man,
and procedure in liquidating estates and
undoubtedly qualified for the office he
seeks
Zinn, on the other hand, has had great
er experience in the office itself, is also
acquainted with property values, and has
established a record while in office that
does justice to any public administrator.
first as an agent for his father, the below
ed d. l.. Zinn, and later as public admin
istrator in his own right, he has disposed
of affairs of the office with the greatest
rapidity ever shown in that office in I'M
perial county, and with the greatest eff
cheney.
Between the two the choice lies purely
with personal inclination. They are equal

While we are talking about de-
Tending American democracy against
the rise of the totalitarian states
il would be a fine thing for us to
spend a little time pondering over
the federal courts ruling in regard
to Mayor Hague's rule in Jersey
City.
The courts ruling itself is fami-
liar enough. So. unfortunately is
Mavor Hague'S habit of bouncing
out of town all speakers, organizers
or leaders whose ideas don't hap
pen to look American to him. But
the relationship between the sort
of thing which the court banned
and the overseas variety of dicta-
torShip is something that cannot
too often be examined.
We make a great mistake if we
assume that it takes uniformed
storm troops. egomaniac spellbind-
ers and an involved. hysterical ideo-
logy to make dictatorship. A riS-
ing dictatorship acquires those
things along the way, of course,
but it starts with something much
That something is little more thar
the idea that society can best pro-
tect itself by granting a hearing
only to those people or organiza-
tions who say what the great ma
jority wants to hear. Sometimes
the idea sounds pretty reasonable.
Every society wants to protect it
self; cracking down on dissenters
and trouble-makers often looks like
the best way.
But all the rest follows from that.
Shut up the unimportant soap
boxer. and the next step is to shut
up the man who really voices a
grievance that deserves to be listen
ed to. Shut him up, and the next
step is to silence everyone who
disagrees with the ruling majority.

Bruce Cation Says
Defense of Democracy Begins at Home

And when you have done that, the
ruling majority may cease to be
a majority without ceasing to rule
and you have a dictatorship.
The thing to remember is, de-
mocracy dies at the bottom, not at
the top. Pressure from outside IS
not one-tenth as dangerous as de-
cay within. A navy man and an
air fleet, if they are strong enough,
will take care of the muscle men
from overseas; nothing on earth
will save democracy at home except
a clear realization OF the vital i'm
portance of preserving the freedom
of even the least important men,
bers of society.
That is why this business of
Mayor Hague and the U. S. court
is worth a second glance.
As an individual Hague is un-
important-justo one more of the all
too-familiar municipal bosses of
American political history. What
matters is the fact that the kind
of rule he has stood for is a blow
at the very roots of our American
system. Now that the court has
spoken. we may at least hope that
that rule will be substantially mod
although the mayor does not
seem to be in any hurry about it,
But unless we clearly recognize
the danger, the court ruling will
not do much good. In the long run,
our democracy won't be saved by
court rulings any more than by
battleships and airplanes. Only an
alert, active awereness on our part
of what the essence of democracy
is can be a reliable safeguard.

until you find them false. When
the scales have once fallen from
your eyes, however, they are off

AlI-1ime Pin Meet Marks Hit
By Clarke, Krauss With 848
In Doubles, Ross $50 Singles

An obscure bowler, A. H Ross today
shared the limelight with the ma
tionally famous doubles team of Astor
Clarke and Bill Krauss as result of
some all-time record-smashing last
night in the Washington City Duckpin
Association championships at Con-
vention Hall.
Watching the illustrious Occidental
duo stagger the naples for a combined
count of 848, which broke the 4-year-
old tournament doubles record of 796
held by Ed Blakeney and Ray Won
Dreele, must have inspired the o.
average Columbia Lodge No. l74
League bowler to turn on the heat
himself. For few moments after
Clarke had shot 414 and Krauss 434
in the their sensational bid for the
class A doubles championship, Ross
fired away for games of l19, 144 and
1T to achieve an all-time mark of
$50 in class F singles. A triple header
strike accounted for his big middle
string.
Clarke Leads "A" Singles.
Clarke started the night by grabbing
the class A singles leadership with
4l2. The Nations No. duckpinner
in supplanting Bill Clampitt as the
front runner shot games of 14O, 1876
and 146 With 826 for his six games,
the Occidental star greatly enhanced
his chances of winning the all-events
title.
