This issue of The New Ulm Enterprise looks somewhat
expanded and a bit out of the ordinary. A number of political
messages are being brought to the people of this area by
men (and women) running for public office. It is fortunate in
a free country that folks can do that and at a reasonable
expense. This is a huge political year and the candidates
have been active. Many candidates have chosen to use our
rural media, The New Ulm Enterprise. Some have not. One
can only guess that those who don’t bring their message
to the rural folks just don’t care about the people out here.
This thinking may be a bit twisted - but sometimes when
political issues are at stake - some things do get twisted.
Charges,challenges, counter charges and a lot of other
fringe benefits go into these political times. Now, it becomes
time for the voters to decide. The qualified voters have the
final say. A voter should be clear-minded and enter the
voting process with the thought “what if my vote is the
deciding one**. Just make an intelligent decision and vote
the way you want to. Our ballots are secret so there is no
need for fear. But, do participate — don’t let someone else
do your deciding for you.
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover died Tuesday and the whole
nation mourned the passing of the nation's No. 1 lawman.
He was the only director the FBI ever had and he will be
hard to replace. He was dedicated and loyal to his country.
He was also plenty tough. Some petty politicians and so-
called newsmen always tried to sling some mud his way-
figuring that they could up their stature just by tearing at
him. It didn’t work. He was opposed to the FBI acting as a
national police force. Weaker men advocate the national
police. But, under Mr. Hoover, the FBI was always the help
when someone needed it. Embarassing situations for the FBI
have happened - but always when those foulups were instigated
by some politically-motivated Attorney General. An equally
strong man must replace him — one that will not advocate
the national police, a state police or a district police.
Our constitutionally-constructed system must stand as it
is to supposed to with the power in the hands of the people.
It will be a challenge. America lost something Tuesday.
Let us hope that we don’t lose more.
