GOOD ELECTION PLAN

The cross-filing system in
California permits candi-
dates to file in the primaries
of both major political par
ties and if both parties noml-
nate the same man there
with be no contest in the gen.
eral election.
This happened in ten of
CALIFORNIA; twenty three
Congressional Districts and
also in the case of Governor
Earl Warren who is current
ly running as the Democratic
as we'll as the Republican
nominee.
Despite the dissatisfac-
ton of some politicians with
cross-filing, we see little OBJ
lection to the practice. Ii a
Governor of a State, or a
Congressman, can do well
enough to win the approval
of the voters of both parties,
he ought to be kept in Of
flee. Certainly. in the case
of Governor Warren, if the
opposing party is SATISFIED
with the man in office ana
prefers him to its own asplr-
ants. the fact is evidence OF
duty we'll done.
After all, the purpose OF
an election in a free coun-
try is not to guarantee a dog
fight between parties. I n e
system is designed to give
the voters an opportunity to
select the man, or woman
of their choice for public Of
flee. If the voting members
of two parties coincide III
the election of a candidate
and he becomes practically
assured of reelection, the
purpose of elections has
been adequately served.

The Pursuit of Happiness

Tomorrow's holiday will be marked again by an inten- pursuit of happiness that wars soberng presence and restrictions gone The quest will bring its usual violent harvest of death and injury and its inevitable host of minor mishaps. But the great majority of Americans escaping with nothing more serious than snnburn will have fun. And they properly should
 The rather feversh activities which exemplfy typical Fourth of July not be quite what Thomas Jefferson had ill mind when in writing the Declaration of Independence he included the pursuit of happiness mans naien- able rights. But is not safe to that he would dis approve.
 Jefferson in his wisdom, knew not only the inestmabe importance of happiness but also the quality and condition of happiness at its fullest Some statesmen today would in sst that the gift of happiness ready prescribed and presented obligation of paernaistc government But Jefferson knew the inspiration and quest itself and the brevy of its reward So he insisted that the pursuit of happiness the right of individual and that governments role was to protect that right
 It would be understandable if Jefferson had failed to recognize the fundamental importance of the pursuit of hap piness. He young (33) and radical. Fortunately, however, he like many young radicals of later day who have had the grm earnest conviction that the betermen of is best achieved in atmosphere of hatred, bitterness and bloodshed.
 It is equally remarkable that the Continental Congress, which established this nation by approving Jefersons Dec araton l70 today did not include dour dis sente to insist that the phrase about happiness be deeed Puritan views worldly happiness not dead Also July of 1776 not happy time for Americans The colonies poor and split by dissenson And their war for independence wasn't going particularly well
 The minds of the Continental Congressmen were filled
 with righteous anger at the prolonged and grevous 1nnes of tyrannics king their Declaration of Independence shows Their thoughts must have been grim present Yet they could remember and approve the agees endless pursuit of happiness which the world
 In the past TO pursuit of happiness has often selfish and thoughtless Yet it has been mo- tive force the banishment of servtude It has added untold comforts existence and prolonged and enriched lives It has created peasanter atmos phere in which the inevitable of individual man are easier bear.
 We have fought to protect right pursue hap pness we'll to protect life and liberty But the promise of happiness has sustained in battle And is fulfilled today thousands who year faced death in the Pacific year before, the coast of France and the hills ot Italy.
 July of 1946 is not in many ways happy time, either Universal doubt and dscontent invade the individual of mind But today struggle for the pursuit of happiness is only intensifcation of the continuing struggle The inalienabe right remains This good day to recall that right reaffm intentions of protecting it. and exercise it in the present by enjoying ourselves
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-07-03
A Thought For Today
Jeremiah" Bowles

We recall the words of an American far greater than Chester Bowes will be- who in time of crisis advised his fellow conrymen that the only thing they had fear was fear itself Those words of Franklin D. Roose welt leader and disappointed bitter stubborn bureau crat.
 Contrast the soundness of that advice and it's optimism with the gloomy predictions which Stabzatlon Director Bowes, the BoWes who is desertng the sinking ship July 15 gave utterance to yesterday Said Bowes the cost of living will double within 20 days
 If it does, at least part of the blame be laid right President Truman insisted on his kind of OPA at a It's this of irresponsible statement which start
 of buying which may well drive prices ahead far faster than normal pace of acceeraton would do It's almost if he sought bring about condition where he might have the selfish satisfaction of saying 20 days from now when he gets back from his Maine vacation, Il told you so.'
 But we have hunch MT. Bowles may be proved false prophet We have that the proessed determination of retailers to hold the price line is sincere and will be effective We have hnch that the dollar drop in the price of cattle yesterday may be straw in the wind We hunch that the thing mostly be feared again. fear itself.
 It becomes increasingly apparent that OPA is not to be revived. The Democrat felt that certain of its controls should have been retaned-cerainy the ceilings Now law, believe he should move to retain OPA ceilings this sate just the governors of Massachusetts and Rhode Island have done for The Waterbury Republican bunty put it this morning the landlord the tradition al enemy of all mankind
 It's dangerous period but think of no better the danger and force than for the prominence of Chester Bowes with farreach ing propaganda facilities their disposal to fill the air with dire predictions of the grief that lies ahead.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-07-03
By WILLIAM BRADY, NJ. D.

Youngsters today get little chance to develop second wind In school the So-called physical education or physical training to which they may be exposed is lar, far short of that Their knowledge of batting averages and performance records Of athletes is astonishing but they don't care much about playing games them- selves. They participate in games or sports preferably as spectators or tanS. That is the American spirit
 Why submit to the discipline Of training. work yourself ragged, run the risk Of getting hurt or getting your hair all muSsed playing rough games when you can get an eXquis- ite thrill yleariously watching the game from grandsJand or sidelines, cheering for your side, yelling your self hoarse about the dirty tricks etc.
 If anybody imagines hySteria is d feminine phenomenon he or she is sIngularly unobserVant. In h e bleachers and grandstands at al- most any large baseball park or football field one will find major hEsteria rampant among persons who have almost unmistakable mas euline characteristics. .s. .-. F..
 But this make believe relief of tension, letting oneself go. blowing off steam is wholesome, healthful recreation for one class of Ameri- cans-honest working people, peo- pie who work with their muscles and bad for white collar, profession al or brain" workers and students.
 The excitement the spectator or fan experiences at the ball game, football epic or boxing match is a complex emotion-fear and anger, fight or flight, in various changing degrees. If it were possible to give free expression or outlet to the emo tlon-by fighting or by fleeing-it would do no particular harm. That is physiology But neither free ex- pression nor even sublimation of the impulse into some other activity or action is possible there, so the poor thing can only get into a state of nerves or go into. a spell of hys- teria.
 For the honest worker, I repeat, this is comparatively harmless-his or her body machinery can stand the strain well enough. For the sedentary or "brain2 worker, the business or professional man or woman, teacher, artist, clerk, white collar worker, such emotion without it's normal or natural reaction motion, action, activity, whether
