Conventions Are Over

The two political conventions
which have been presented the
nation this month as never before
are now ended. There has been
much of value to learn from them.
We viewed on TV the most i'm
portant part of each of them. It
is not bias to make comparisons
in favor of the Democratic ticket
this year. There was more of De-
mocracy in the Los Angeles con-
vention. There were many candi-
dates available, and the delegates
had a choice in selecting a nomi-
nee. There was no choice in the
Republican convention, and Rich
ard Nixon, backed by all the force
and prestige of the President and
the members of his administra-
ton, realizing that the only hope
of foisting such an administra-
ton on the country again, were
all but solidly united in the fear
of their impending defeat in the
election thls fall.
The Democrats had some afflic-
lions of course, and as in all
things, some of their own top
level men were detrimental to the
party in the framing of plat
form. Despite the fact that the
/ Democrats made their platform
first, whereby the Republicans had
ample opportunity to overcome its
Objectionable features, the COP
platform is the more obnoxious,
the less reasonable and the less
hopeful of the two.
The Republicans have many
good and able men, and they were
all marshaalled in force in Chi
cago with the we'll chosen words
of their skill and learning amply
disseminated at enormous cost
across the nation. They were inn
pressive words, coming through
the air direct from the mouths of
able and personable speakers who
were in full view. But to read
them in cold print, and to COM
pare them with the Democratic
platform, they appear stale and
lflat-a rehash of the same old
platitiudes of the Republicans who
claim to be the fountain-head of
all wisdom, the treasury of all
ability, the repository of all gent
us and patriotism. A striking ex-
ample of extreme and stupid ut
terance is Barry Goldwater's
phrase that the Democratic Par
ty is Dedicated to the Destruction
of the Country" We could not
and would not say that about eth
err party. But leaders in the Re
publican party, know but little,
or their memory is short, or they
are completely dishonest in recit-
ing the long list of social gains
that have been made, the bulwarks
that exist against insecurity, pow
erty, unemployment and despair
for the old and infirm. To have
been honest, they would have said
that all of these things were in
itiated and legislated durin g
former Democratic administra-
tions; that they were fought all
/ the way through by Republicans
lin Congress, and that despite

OPPOSES BUILDING OF
A JAIL NEAR HATTER4AS

To the Editor:
hear that the county is plan
ming to spend $4,000 to build a
Jail somewhere near Buxton and
/ cannot understand why some peo-
pie are so ALFRED crazy to get
a Jail built here, when in a year
or two, all their argument for it
will be flat when the bridge is built
over Oregon Inlet and the money
will have been wasted. l cannot
understand, after the people voted
heavily against this project why
county officials will persist in
spending the peoples money for
it. Who is it has so much power,
and why it is people elected to rep
resent us will waste the money
when there are other things so
more important? 1t is generally
known that no one wants Jail
located next to them, and will
not sell land for the purpose, and
for this reason, 1 understand the
National Park Service is being
asked for a place to put the Jail.
l wish you would explain why this
Jail is so much necessary. They
keep hiring more officers, but
they don't arrest anyone, so why
Jail When you get Jail, that
means a job for someone to stay
at it "a hours a day; maybe two
more good jobs to cost the tax
payers.
HATTERAS ISLAND CITIZEN
July IA, 1860.
Editors note: There has long been
a desire in some circles for a Jail
at Buxton on the GROUND that
certain types of lawbreakers are
a nuisance, and there is no place
to restrain them at nighttime
when no ferries operate. While it
is true the citizens voted it down
before, revised concept is that a
multi-purpose building be erected
to serve the area,-it would be
headquarters for the patrol, an Of
flee for a magistrate to hold court,
a meeting place for the tax col
lector, and various other officials
who regularly visit the area for
the convenience of citizens. 1t was
proposed that an overnight lookup
be located in the building. How
ever, $4,000 will barely build the
lookup part, and not less than
$4,000 is needed to do a good job,
for with the building of bridge,
any building merely a Jail, would
lose it's value, and moreover would
be too small for the other useful
purposes outlined.
