ITIZEN to J. H. Waters, state Democratic chairman, speaking for the state Democratic committee, says: We have noted with some degree of displeasure that there is already, at this early stage of the campaign, numerous and persistent whisperings going the rounds concerning the candidates for nomination on the Democratic ticket. These whisperings are creating some discord, and if an effort is not made to check them it is easy to see what the results may be. They intimate that this or that candidate is favorable or unfavorable to this or that church; that this one or that one has the favor or the displeasure of certain church influences. Is it not time that a vigorous protest be ; made against this method of campaigning? Once and for all time the citizens of this state should rise to the occasion . .... and stand out and denounce this method and demand that politics forever cease to make a football, of religion, and vice versa.. Religion and politics are two separate and distinct fields of human endeavor and have very different aims and objects, each having its own peculiar functions, and it is only the scheming, the ignorant and the selfish that seek to intermix these functions by dragging the sacredness of religion into the more or less muddy arena of politics. It should no longer be thought fair or consistent with good state government, nor consistent with honest religion that men should scheme to climb into office, or to keep others out of office by playing on the religious emotions .and prejudices of the people. Let us bury this idea in the grave of oblivion. The Democratic State' Committee has never thought of letting the matter of religion enter into any consideration of the aspirants for nomination and it never intends to. We view the aspirants solely as men and citizens to be judged by their individual merits and abilities, believing that it should make absolutely no difference whether an aspirant for office is Mormon, Jew or Gentile, when it comes to political action. The sole tests that should be made of. any candidate are these: Is he an American citizen? Is he upright, honest and honorable? Will he administer the affairs of the office with I 1 fidelity, fairness and justice to his constituents? Has he the ability to perform the duties of the office in a way that will reflect credit upon the state and himself? Has he the business ex-- . perlence and the judgment necessary to properly carry on the affairs of the office to the best interests of the people; And if, possessing these qualifications, his party sees fit to put him forward no other tests should be made, it ought never to be asked, Is he favorable or unfavorable, satisfactory or unaatisfactory to this or that church? We ask no more and no less than an honest, fair and square deal for our men who are aspirants for nominations and we play no favorites. Each must stand on his merits, but we do ask that these whisperings about church favor and church displeasure and church influence cease so far as the Democratic . party is concerned, and that members of the party put such methods behind them, because they are manifestly un-a I I I ..... Louisiana fair, and will, it continued, "prove iriorp conductive to discord and trouble thgp to harmony and peace. We are all Americans, and practically all of us believe in some form of religion. We all believe in the brotherhood of man, and we feel that we all have a common destiny. Let us respect the sacredness of each man's religion and hold inviolate the right of every man to be free in his political action, and never consent to have religion dragged into politics. We are too far along in the twentieth century of the worlds civilization and intelligence, and we look not to the dark past but to the bright future. . Los Angeles Times.
