WARMING UP
With talk getting warmer and minds more firmly set with the forthcoming political campaign for the presidency, we heed the numerous leaders who are suggested as timber and reflect upon their merits. The tension will grow monthly but before we get too wrought up let us sensibly consider the subject. There are many who jump from one party to another for no reason, or for political jobs. The majority of voters look for ability in their leader. It is more popular to vote for sound policies and principles than because the wrong man appeared on your ticket and your party "do or die." There are disgruntled citizens everywhere but before this citizen makes a change he should study the question seriously. The heated arguments and propaganda will be upon us next year. We must begin early to get the situation in hand. Our country is too important to use snap judgment and another fellow's opinion to formulate our decision. Be well informed concerning candidates, what they stand for, their previous record and the principles they advocate. In school they call it cramming before an exam, we call it preparedness before the attack.
