Source of Greatness
No man was ever great with-
out some portion of divine in-
spiration.—Cicero.
There arc about forty-five
million Americans who will go
to the polls next November and
vote for President. Somewhat
more than fifteen million of
them will vote the Republican
ticket, no matter who is nomi-
nated. Just about the same
number will vote the Demo-
cratic ticket, regardless of the
candidate. That leaves around
fifteen million who cannot be
counted in advance. They are
the so-called ‘Independent
Voters" who follow no party
line rigidly.
These voters, who determine
whether the next President
will be a Democrat or a Repub-
lican, will vote to a great ex-
tent upon local issues. If their
local party organizations have
given them satisfactory local
government, on the whole,
they will be more likely to
vote for the candidates favor-
ed by their state or municipal
organizations.
Only when the Nation is con-
fronted with a single great is-
sue, that everyone can under-
stand, such as war, does the
average voter look beyond his
immediate problems to decide
how to vote.

“Gone with the Wina"—bat where’d the wind go?
It just keeps on blowing—where to—we don’t
know—
It makes no material difference—so why worry
about that?
You may as well say—why the tail on a cat?
Worry about things that are worthy of thought—
Godliness—health cleanliness—others are naught—
But when it comes to the food, that keeps the health
fine—
Let that be my worry—just phone Number Nine.

be personified. Very few peo-
ple are influenced by abstract
ideas. Once in a brag time the
whole population is so eager
for a chance that most of the
voters would vote for anybody
on the opposition ticket. I do
not think we are facing that
situation this year. j by putting their adherents in

OFFICEHOLDERS . . . Hatch
Thoughtful students of gov-
ernment have recognized the
power of political organiza-
tions to perpetuate themselves
where I go, that the ordinary
citizen is beginning to discover
that he is the one who pays ail
the taxes, in the long run.
J. A. Dill Announces
For Alderman
get himself renominated or
what other Democrat may be
that party candidate if he does
not run again. I am certain,
however, that the next Presi-
dent of the United States will
be the candidate' who can most
convincingly persuade ten or
twelve million “floating” vot-
ers that his party will make
conditions better for the indi-
vidual citizen and that he is
personally the kind of a man
to be entrusted with running
the Government cl the United
States.
To get that idea across, the
successful candidate, whom-
ever he may be, is joing to
have to rely upon the workers
in the organized party ma-
chinery, down to the last town-
ship committeeman.
POLITICS . . elections
I have been studying and
writing about politics for a,
good many years. I have seen
politics and politicians at close
range in Washington, in many
state capitals, in small towns
and in the biggest cities. The
political machinery and meth-
ods of all the parties are cut
to the same pattern.
The backbone of party poli-
tics is the local organizations.
The strongest national party
at any time is the one which
has the largest number of its
members holding local public
offices. Political parties are
It upon distrimbusitari msb
build upon distributing a3
many jobs as possible where
they will do the most good.
That is why the party in
power aiways has the best
chance of winning an election,
local, state or national. If it
has been in power long enough
to fill the good jobs with party
workers, the party of the “Ins"
has a great advantage over
the “Outs.” For that reason,
everything else being equal, it
is plain that the Democratic
party, if it remains united, has
the better chance of winning
the presidential election of
gan sixty years ago, was the
first attempt to take jobs out j
of politics. It cured some of
the worst evils of the old
“spoiis system,” introduced by
Andrew Jackson, but it never
cleaned up the political mess.
The latest effort in this di-
rection is the Hatch Act pass-
ed by Congress last Spring
which forbids anybody bold-
ing an appointive public office
from taking part in, or contri-
buting to, a political campaign.
Human nature being what it is,
I have little faith that politics
can be purified by merely pass-
ing laws.
I hare had many opportuni-
ties to observe how any law
which is displeasing to the Ad-
ministration of a city, a state
or the Nation can be got
around.
I herewith make my an-
nouncement for alderman of
the city of Timpson, subject to
the action of the voters in the
city election to be held April
2nd. I will appreciate your
vote and support, j. A. Dill.
TAXATION . . payment
Next to the ability to build
up a powerful political ma-
chine, composed of officehold-
ers ready to fight for their jobs
to the last ditch, the strongest
weapon a party in power has
is the power of taxation. The
more taxes that can be col-
lected, up to the point where
the public will not stand for
being squeezed any further,
the more money there is for
the politicians tc spend in
| ways which wil put people un-
der obligations to them or
their party and so strengthen
their machine. The only source
from which money comes to
pay the salaries of the rank
and file of political workers is
from taxes.
The art of politics consists
in finding persuasive argu-
ments which the’ public will
swallow to justify the levying
of taxes for what can be rep-
resented as a useful public pur-
pose. Another part of the tax
racket is to devise schemes of
taxation which wii! make it
appear that the common man
does not pay taxes but that if
all comes out of the pockets of
the rich.

Coeur D’Alene, Ida. (UP) —
A little mere than seven years
ago a Kellogg, Ida., couple,
Dominic Naccarato and Pau-
line Balduc, obtained a mar-
riage license from the Koote-
nai county auditor.
As time passed clerks in the
auditor’s office became puz-
zled because the certificate
wasn't returned to show the
marriage ceremony had been
performed. Usually the certifi-
cates come back in a few days.
The lapse of time wasn’t ex-
plained until this year, when
the certificate finally arrived.
