Candidates viii
Speak At Forum
In New Lexington

Congressional candidates of the
18th district will air their views
on big problems of the day, al
a public forum at New Lexington
high school Saturday April % al
1880 p. m.
Four of the five candidates for
Congress have promised to be
present: Republicans Tom v,
Moorehead of GAINESVILLE and
John Hayes Ferguson of Cam
bridge, and Democrats Rhoderic
Mills of New Lexington and
Dawrence Skates of Somerset.
Herbert U. Smith of Marietta
will not take part.
The forum was arranged by
the Perry County Tribune, New
Lexington, and the Buckeye
Lake Thornville News.
Each candidate will be given
not over 10 minutes to discuss
national issues. Copies of about
8 questions will be sent to each
candidate this week. After all
10-minute talks are over, each
candidate will be given a five
minute rebuttal period.
Questions will also be per-
mitted from the audience for a
limited period.
So far as is known here, this
is the first time in history of
this Congressional district that
candidates of both parties will
have appeared at the same forum
sponsored by a non-partisan Or
ganiZation which seeks no part
ocular stand from candidates.
Candidates have addressed labor,
farm and other groups at the in
vitation of these groups, but new
er before at a public forum, it
is believed.
The sponsoring newspapers
said they appreciate the willing
ness of the candidates to appear
on the platform. eve invited
them because of our desire to
see the voters informed on the
great issues Of the day and on
how the candidates approach the
problems" the newspapers said.
''The candidates have no time
to exp1ain their views TO every
voter they meet. And not enough
voters turn out for political raj
lies to learn for themselves. So
we thought the people would
welcome a chance to see all can
didates for Congress together,
hear their views, ask them ques-
tions, and become better in
formed on the great issues which
affect everyone's pocketbook and
the next generations.
