Carter and Buts remarks (AN EDITORIAL) An election year Is certainly no time for injudicious remarks by candidates or their close associates. This is no news to presidential candidate Jimmy Carter or secretary of agriculture Earl Butz. Both have recently felt the heat from such remarks, and. in fact the Butz remarks have cost him his job. During a national election campaign, remarks of major candidates take on an added significance, and opponents tend to make the most of them. First, it was Carter with his statement on lust in Playboy magazine. What was he trying to prove by his “openness” anyway? Certainly remarks of this type are easily misinterpreted. Then there was secretary Butz and his ethnic slur. It was only natural that Will Erwin would be asked about the remark at his appearance before the Syracuse-Wawasee Rotary club Tuesday noon, since he served under Butz in the agriculture department and knew him well. Erwin said Butz communicates through his humor. Butz got himself into trouble with Catholics some time ago when he criticized the Pope's stand on abortion, saying, “He no playa da game, so he shouldn't seta da rules.” Farmers like Butz for his farm policy. It has opened up the world market on grain and given farmers a higher income. But under our system all this is lost because of one unfortunate remark. Democrats have raised their eyebrows over the Butz remark (which was thought too tasteless to print or put out over the airwaves) and some called for his ouster. But the big hue and cry came from Republicans who could see it was tilting the election scales against them come November 2. Both Carter and Butz should know better. The best thing we can say for the remarks of each man is that they have livened up an otherwise dull. lackluster campaign.
