decDh n in the voter's mind on issues. The Vietnam situation has to be big in everyone’s mind This situation has gotten to the p int of deep concern for almost everyone. With the United States in Vietnam since 1953. and fighting of a minor and later a major nature ever smee that time. people are completely fed up with the way th* situation is being handled. Some say get out . . . others say finish the job right. Many more say it should be settled over the peace table, but even this means a police action’’ or whit ever they want to call it that will still mean our being in ti.it c >unti y. Crime and all its newly formed branc hes sm h as riots, arson, looting, demonstrations, etc., is another key issue. Something has to be done before the count y is overrun by these undesirables. The complete la< k of respect for the law and law officers and the overlx protection given a guilty peron has come to the point of no return. Crime in our country has pushed us from a nation that used to be respe< ted to one of question This undesirable aspect will definatdv be an issue. Taxes are always a campaign issue. No one wants to be responsible for higher taxes but also anyone making a promise of lower taxes is also going out on a limb with a saw inhund. Just hi w much more taxation the people of this co untry can stand is uncertain, but the breaking point isn t far away. A candidate will have to m ike an effort to ease the tax block somewhere along the line. These are just a few of the important ones. There are many more. The racial situation. the form situation, and many, many Issues .are worthy o - each voters attention. The job of electing a presidert belongs to every eligible voter in the nation. Your vote may be only one. but as has oft< n been repeated In 1960 John F”. Kennedy beat Richard NiX'ii by a total nf less than one v<>te per precinct in our Cfnintry. Your first job is to study the candidates, study the issues and their stand < n these major and minor problems too. Make your mind up. but follow your Convictions with the most precious right you have in a democracy, vote nn November 5, 1968.
