VOTE AS YOU DARNED PLEASE.
The Day Book doesn't know
enough about the various candidates
for Republican and Democratic nom
inations to tell our readers how to
vote. We don't care to controL votes,
anyhow. It is practically impossible
for any voter to know all the candi
dates well enough to vote intelli
gently. Party leaders aid newspa
per editors' are governed largely by
their prejudices and Interests and
don't know much more than the
public. Among the various candi
dates for governor, we have no idea
which one would be the worst on
either ticket. And that goes for can
didates for most of the other offices.
Locally two candidates appeal to us
most Hoyne for state's attorney
and Connery for recorder. The only
reason they do is because they are
honest and efficient and have made
good. What, party or faction they
belong to doesn't interest us. But
Day Book readers have as much
right ,to do their own thinking and
voting as we have and on many of
the candidates their judgment might
be better than our. About all any
fair-minded Democrat or Republican
can do ia to find out all he can about
the rival candidates and then do the
best he can. If we are to get our
information (.about all candidates
from the rivals, however,, all of them
would look so rotten we wouldn't be
tempted to tote. Anyhow, we'll hold ,
FINE PLAY, ANYHOW. OJ
course, we are -now going to heail
charges galore from the Republican
newspapers that Pres. Wilson wa3
playing politics in the strike matter.
But the public is not likely to pay a
great deal of attention to the howLJ
It has heard the wolf cry so often?)
during the past few months, without
any wolf showing up, that 4t doesn't
scare as easily as it used to. 3
The thing that will appeal to thes
people is that Pres. Wilson averted a
.disastrous strike when it seemed thaU
no power on earth could avert it. In
doing so he passed a law which the7
big" bulk of the voters, even those
not entirely in sympathy with union
ism, believe to be a good law.- It ifl
a law which will pe?mlt the whole
controversy to be thrashed .out and1
will not greatly hamper the railroads
meanthmi
If it was politics, it Is the kind of
politics the people like; politics wittfi
direct and beneficial results .for the"r
many. r
