AN OPEN LETTER TO
SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES
The election campaign is over no

The election campaign is over now.
This newspaper supported some of you
who were elected We are going to tell
you the price we demand for that success
ful support. We opposed some OF you
who were elected. We are going to give
you our pledge, which has already been
implied in the support we gave to those
of our men" who won.
First, to the winners who had our sup
port.
We came to your aid because we be
lieved you were best qualified to hold
the Jobs you sought We believed you
would best represent the interests Of the
people, be they Democrats or Republi-
cans. We helped you, in short, because
we believed we would have less fault to
find with you, in office, than with your
opponents.
One thing we demand of you: use
every energy you have to serve the whole
people That is the payment we ask for
your support. Remember always that
there is a greater interest than that of
any pressure group. Remember that you
were elected because the people believed
in your integrity-and do not let that IN
tegrity be tarnished. When you are
tempted, as you will be, to do what you
know is wrong because in doing so you
will please a large bloc of voters, remem-
Der that the people voted for you because
they believed you would represent them
ALL truly and to the best of your ability.
We will criticize you in the future,
sometimes very harshly. That is right
we reserve, even though you entered Of
flee with our full support. Issues that
have not yet been foreseen will come up,
and it may be that we will disagree with
you on some of them. When we do, we
will say so. When we believe your ac-
tions merit praise, we will praise them.
Yet we do not ask you, now, to act so
that you will win our praise. Like the
pressure groups, we might be wrong.
Act as you think is best for the people,
regardless of praise or censure from any
one source.
Do not let special privilege ensnare
you, nor political ambitions lead you
astray Your job is to keep the peoples
government running smoothly for the
benefit of everybody. Do that, and we
shall feel that our support has been re-
paid.

Americans will do we'll to heed the re-

Mr. Wallace predicts that in the post
