Show week of the candidates With only a few clays remaining before the General Election, candidates for political office, both on a local and statewide basis, arc taking this opportunity to get last minute messages across to the voters. A few weeks ago, we extended an invitation to all candidates to set out their reasons for filing for respective respect-ive offices in a statement of platform, to be published free of charge in these columns. Almost every one of the candidates has responded to that invitation. A number of the statements appear on this page. Others are found throughout this issue of The Times-Independent Times-Independent all tagged with a headline and an additional ad-ditional heading which reads, "Platform Statement." We have found the statements interesting reading. We urge our readers to look them over carefully, with the idea that what is found here might be a help in making thoughtful selections at the polls next Tuesday. |
