Dear Editors:
In the September 23rd issue
of The VOICE, my good friend,
Charles Goolsby, in his article on
Terry Carpenter expressed won
der that the Democratic state
committee endorsed Carpenter in
the pre-primary convention.
Anybody who has followed the
machinations of the two old par
ties during the years will realize
that such action is nothing at all
to be wondered at. The great
wonder is that people continue to
vote with the old parties despite
numerous betrayals.
Mr. Goolsby’s censure of Car
penter (and therefore tacit ap
proval of Wherry) is based on
H Carpenter’s undemocratic atti
tude on Civil Rights. Actually,
Wherry’s correct attitude on
Civil Rights is the only area in
which he is no worse than Car
penter, who has the saving grace
of being for price controls.
But it is not a question of hav
ing to choose between two such
obvious evils where there can
be no such thing as a lesser one.
Wherry is the product of a party
dedicated to the preservation of
the ranks of the privileged while
Carpenter, with all of the rotten
things he stands for, is the choice
of a party which professes but
does not carry out principles. The
A' obvious thing to do ’ is to write
in someone (Albin T. Anderson is
my choice) and later help to
build up the socialist party which
has consistently implemented pol
icy, not only in civil rights but
in other areas, with action.
Very truly yours,
Joseph Ishikawa.
Lincoln.
Dear Editor:
It gives me great pleasure to
say a few words through your
wonderful paper about the po
litical contest now in progress.
The campaigns have been set up
I by some of our best men and
)> politicians who are fighting hard
to reach the highest executive
positions that can be given them
by these great United States of
America. We are passing through
the most crucial period of our
lives, hunting for someone to
lead us.
There are four men, who are
the leaders of the four main po
litical parties, whose applications
are before us for consideration.
Which one of them is most cap
able to lead us seems to be the
most difficult problem that was
ever put before us. We must be
very careful in making this se
lection for he will be the one upon
whom we must depend for help
to solve the problems which are
^ most important, and of greatest
benefit to all the people regardless
of race, color or previous condi
tion, without prejudice or dis
crimination. It might be that
some of the voters will think it is
a matter of impossibility to se
lect the best-fitted man for the

presidency. I will advise them to
vote for the one which has made
the best record in the past. One
of our ’ greatest philosophers has
said that there is no better way
to judge the future than by the
past. I cannot forget what the
late Booker T. Washington said
in one of his speeches—“You can
take the man out of the country,
but you cannot take the country
out of the man.”
Now, as the time is drawing
near when we must decide who
will be our leader for the next
four years, I say we should go to
the polls and cast our votes for
the man whom we feel has made
the best record, the man who has
enforced laws, one whom we
can trust to introduce the best
laws to the state legislatures and
U. S. congress and will urge their
enforcement, because good laws
alone will not secure good ad
ministration.
It takes the best citizenship
for the welfare of the nation.
I really think no matter which’
one of these men is elected, next
year there may be a turn, I hope
for the better. But I am afraid
that there is war, and if every
one after two wars is as sick
and tired of war as I am, you
know how most of the country
thinks. It is so hard for them to
know how they can stand another
bigger war.
NIMROD ROSS.
