Show "Fair Play" Campaigning Along; with any political campaign there is a certain cer-tain amount of mud-slinging, the amount usually depending" upon the type of men running for office. The "bigger" the man the least mud-slinging. Just how effective mud-slinging is in a campaign is questionable but we cite the case of the recent election in Utah to show how that type of attack may backfire. In spite of one of the bitterest attacks at-tacks on the character and integrity of one of the candidates for the governorship, the candidate who inspired the mud-tossing was snowed under with a deluge of votes. The moral being-, we believe, "take care of your own house, and you don't have to vorry about the other fellow." As a service to our readers, there will necessarily be articles run under under the forum column representing rep-resenting the views of both political parties. Some : of the views may be biased, but all articles dealing with the campaign will -be welcomed if they deal with the issues and questions pertinent to the election. elec-tion. Articles defamatory to the character 'or integrity in-tegrity of any individual candidate will not be acceptable. ac-ceptable. Contributors may, and we urge them to do so, discuss or attack the views of any political aspirant so long as the attack does not become personal. |
