When the delegation entered Gibsons office a Telegram reporter and photographer, who were accompanying them, also went in. The office after all, was a public office and the delegations business was State Engineer Ed H.

H. Watson. It is an insufferable, offensive and attitude of the public be damned which the public does not Clling and will not accept. These two men have shown themselves to be absolutely unfit to hold any public office. No investigation is needed to prove or to reach the conclusion that they should be ousted. But that isnt the whole story, nor is it the worst of the story. The use of state mailing lists, state equipment and state employes working on state time to mail out campaign material for any one candidate or state inforny one party it wronj. It is unquestionably a misuse of state of Quite possibly, money. mation and equipment. It is a misuse it might constitute grounds for a charge of malfeasance in office. The Telegram thinks there should be an impartial and thorough-goin- g s of political investigation of this whole business of mailing how established be should just at the tax commission office. It many pamphlets were mailed, how, when and by whom they were mailed. Th, whole story should then be made public and, if there is any basis for the filing of charges, such action should be taken. We do not make this suggestion from a political standpoint, although unquestionably this whole business will have a profound political effect, injuring the entire Democratic ticket in the coming election. But this question Is far more important than partisan politics. This is a question of good government. It is a question of fair play in politics. It is a question of the misuse of supposedly private state information, of state equipment and of state funds. It ought to be investigated thorthat no political pary or indioughly and such positive action-takevidual partisan, whether Democratic or Republican, would ever try it again. tic - ss panv-phlet- . n LETS THINK IT OVER Now that most of th pre-electio- n Blade and candidates have told people speeches have.beenj just where they stand, its time to take stock and analyze the situation. Whether a person is & Democrat or Republican, makes not a great deal of difference, when we come to think of the fundamental principals involved in this election,. Both candidates for president are excellent men, both are leaders and we capable of administering the affairs of the highest office in the land winning, the war, making a permanent peace, and dealing with our domestic affairs. The question before the people, when we really get down to facts, is whether we are a n government or wnetn-an- y man with ability may serve the people of Amenca as the chief executive. This is not Republican philosophy, as many old-liDemocrats have so expressed themselves, n is just good old American philosophy.
