A Column of Opinion . ..

POLITICS, DEMOCRATIC STYLE

You can’t keep this thing up, but C. R. Matteson of the Noble County American and The Banner have been carrying on a running and open discussion concerning the forthcoming nomination of a Senatorial candidate at the State Democratic convention, but we must get in our last two cents worth.

We endorsed Dr. Charles Price of South Bend because we actually .and honestly believe him the best candidate, but last week in the columns of the American, we were taken to task on the grounds that convenfion delegates should not be pre-influenced. Well, we disagree. First, the entire idea of a primary election or a convention is to allow the full freedom of ex-

pression to exist within the parties involved. It’s the idea of “letting the boys fight it out” in good democratic fashion, and then everyone going along with the will of the majority after the scrap is concluded. Far more serious to party harmony than The Banner’s endorsement of Dr. Price is the open endorsement of the Noble' County Democratic leadership of Alex Campbell, and the hand picking of delegates before the primaries to insure support for ‘him. This is neither in the interest of Party harmony or in the spirit of the freedom of expression we expect from political parties. It creates nei-

ther loyalty, enthusiasm or a desire to get out and work, and frankly, we resent it. We're little cogs in the whee! and we expect the right to fight it out until the battle is over. Then we’ll go along with the leadership plans.

No one speaks ill of Dr. Price other than the fact that he is not a machine politician . . . has not won his spurs so to speak. Well, my democracy is of the purist variety, and discipline comes‘ after the democratic process has been fulfilled. ; ~The fact that the ultraconservative Republican News-Sentinel has given left handed support to Mr. Campbell by declaring that his opposition is vanishing doesn’t impress us. Neither does the fact that his record of running out the communists become sufficient qualifications in itself for the job. The prototype of Senator Capehart is not our idea of a candidate and we say to the backers of Mr. Campbell to come forth with the issues. Where is Mr. Campbell going to differ from Mr. Capehart? Where is Mr. Campbell going to stand after he is elected on state, national and international questions? If Mr. Campbell wins the convention race, then The Banner will support him for we look with extreme disfavor on the present Republican candidate, but we reserve the right to say what we think before the fight within our own house takes paee. . -

We don’t want our friend Mat to think that we're against his right of expression, or that we bear malice because we were chastised. We just want to make, what we think is, an important perogative clear. 1 presume we’ve done that.

Christian Science . 411 Lincolnway West “Ancient and Modern Necromancy, alias Mesmerism and Hypnotism, Denounced” is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday May 28. The Golden Text is: “If God be for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: “And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. But there shall not an hair of your head perish. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh” (Luke 21: 8, 11, 18, 28). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Health with Key to the Secriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “This material world is even now becoming the arena for conflicting forces. On one side there will be discord and dismay; on the other side there will be Science and Eeace. The breaking up of material beliefs may seem to be famine and pestilence, want and woe, Bin, sickness, and death, which assume new phases until their nothingness appears” (p. 96).
