Our current crop of candidates for public office
have been complaining about the voters lack of interest
in the campaign.
Indifference is apparent. But the electorate itself
not vocal has the real for protest
The people justifaby may the candidates
Of ignoring actual issues far and of dealing in
irrelevancies.
For instance, the candidates for sheriff appeal
for votes the basis of their opposition to- support
of Initiative 49, the proposal to amend the state old
age pensions law.
As a matter of fact what these gentlemen may
think of 151 is less appropriate issue in the sheriff
contest than would be hot air furnace in ice
The office of sheriff, whoever fills it, has, and will
tinue to have absolutely nothing to do with admins
tration or policies of state pensions.
Whether the candidate, individual, votes for
against Isl will signify less than nothing to his
qualifications for the office he seeks.
In the contest for prosecutor candidate has
nounced his stand Referendum % the workmens
compensation measure. He cast his own vote on
%, and that is all he do about it, regardless of his
election defeat.
In both these ballot battles and in others too there
valid issues the voters far have waited
in vain to hear discussed.
Bascally the true issues in the county office con-
tests are MEN AND THEIR RECORDS.
Come out of the clouds and to the point candi-
dates. When and if you do, the people will listen.
