Senate race the voters have a clear choice. It is a choice between a man with a constructive, progressive record over the past six years and an opponent who is generally against everything that has happened in that period and specifically for nothing in the way of alternatives. > On his record, thta newspaper has no hesitation in recommending the re-election of Senator Vance Hartke. We do not contend the record is flawless, but strangely enough, his opponent does not attack the flaws in Senator Hartke’s record is flawless, but strangely enough, his opponent does not attack the flaws in Senator Hartke’s record but instead lashes at him for his virtues. In the main, Senator Hartke has supported the foreign policy of the last two years of the Eisenhower * era and of the Kennedy - Johnson administration. _He has voted for foreign aid and for the nuclear test ban treaty, although he voted against the wheat sale to the Soviet Union. j|j < In domestic affairs, he has co-sponsored the Social Security health insurance plan, the youth conservation corps and the civil rights bill. He sponsored the mental health bill. He has voted for most of the key domestic legislation requested by the administration, including the income tax cut and anti-poverty legislation. He has consistently aligned himself with the Congressional forces fighting for fair representation in state legislatures. Senator Hartke’s efforts have won accolades from two presidents. In contrast, Senator Hartke’s opponent has had a long But 'undistinguished career in the state legislature. As a campaigner, he has displayed a negativism awesome in its scope and barrenness. It is consistent with his record in the legislature. As a state senator in 1951, he was the author of a bill that violated federal regulations on public inspection of welfare lists; It nearly’cost Indiana S2O million a year in public assistance funds and Senator Bontrager’s only regret was that his effort failed. \ As majority leader of the Indiana senate, Bontrager voted against the sales tax although it original- • ed with his own party in the House and was supported by Lieut. Gov. Ristine, and its passage averted a state crisis. Bontrager has condemned government spending and at the same time damned our policy in Viet Nam for not being all-out. He has condemned Senator Hartke’s record but proposed nothing positive of his own as an alternative and fallen back on the cliche of calling Senator Hartke a “rubber stamp” for voting most of the time with his party and the administration as if this in itself was a sin, regardless of what a Senator is voting for. Indiana voters have a clear choice and it should1 n’t be a difficult one to make. Guest Editorial by Robert Cloyd, Jr. The LaFayette Leader

ARE YOU GETTING CONFUSED? Do the claims and counter-claims of politicians on radio and TV leave you completely confused as to the issues? If So, Consider These Points: 1. Remember the fine job that President Johnson has done in the ten months since the tragic assassination of President Kennedy — he has stabilized the country. 2. Remember that more people are employed today in Adams county than ever before, and unemployment has been cut drastically to a very low level. 3. Remember that the Democratic team of candidates promises to cooperate together to provide you with the best government possible, from the Court House in Decatur to the state capitol building in Indianapolis, and the nation's capitol in Washington, D.
