Vole Tomorrow
Radio time, newspaper space and a great deal of
people's thoughts have been taken up by the coming elec
tion. Tomorrow it will all end and the decision will be made
a decision that many persons think is one of the most
crucial of the century as far as choosing a president is
concerned. The Daily Nebraskan has made public its
tands, and the students, through the mock election, have
made public their stand.
The important thing now is that the eligible persons
take their stand into the voting booth with them and vote
tomorrow.
This is the democratic tradition, one that too many
persons ignore.
The Daily Nebraskan urges all to take advantage of
this privilege and vote Tuesday.
Childish Pranks
When Alexander Graham Bell developed the telephone,
he had no idea what he was getting everyone into, one can
be sure.
The latest discovery, not a new discovery but a new fad,
Involves tlelng up all the lines on campus and, to the tune
of the busy signal, yelJIng nasties at each other.
It's a trivial little thing, but It could result in a very
traumatic situation if an emergancy should arise and one
could not get an out-line or an in-line to another phone.
The telephones were put in for a purpose, that of com
munication, and not for providing entertainment for a few
childish persons who take joy in causing inconvenience for
others.
Halloween is over now, and with it the juvenile pranks
of children are over. One would hope that these childish
pranks of college adults will end with them.

Injustice
Dear Miss Smithberger,
It is with "very deep
emotion" and a "deep sense
of Injustice" that we write
this reply to your editorial
in the Daily Nebraskan,
dated Oct. 28, 1964, endors
ing Barry Goldwater.
Be that as it may, we de
mand, as students of this
University, as interested
students of fair play, and
as seekers of what is right,
that you, Miss Smithberger,
insert as soon as is at all
possible a statement which
will indisputably clarify
your endorsement of Barry
Goldwater.
We demand that your
statement makes it indis
putably clear that your en
dorsement of Barry Gold
water is absolutely and with
out question "an act of your
own volition" and that it re
flects your personal views.
And that this endorsement

Dear Sirst
The function of an editor
is to speak to the students
about the issues, not to
speak for them and reflect
only their present beliefs.

Not Fascist
Barry Goldwater is now
being described as a Fas
cist. I would like to point
out that a Fascist works
constantly for more power in
the Federal government. If
there is anything that Bar
ry Goldwater is against, it's
a more powerful Federal
government.
The "Liberals" are also
accusing the Sen. of want
ing to do away with the
world and even the universe
if he can. Well, I donTt
think he can do away

cause that is still in God's

Supreme Court decides
otherwise.
Barry Goldwater simply
feels that the American
people are still capable of

W.D. Hosfoi d
Awake Nebraska
It might surpirse most of
you to know that the race
for Governor this year is of
extreme importance to all
Nebraskans. This is the year
when you must decide if
Nebraska is to move for
ward or remain in the same
rut it has been in the last
four years.
The major problem in
Nebraska is that it has no
leadership in the State
House. It is nice to have a
governor that is frigidly
and shakes everyone's hand.
But Nebraska can no long
er afford this lack of effec
tive leadership.
We have a Governor who
opposes a broadened tax
base. A Governor that op
poses a partisan legisla
ture. A Governor that is
against state supervision of
education. A Governor who
does not take a stand on
the present credit situation
in Nebraska. A Governor
who fears to come out for
the one vote-one man rul
ing of the Court, but rather
says he will just enforce the
law.
The present Governor
does not run on his party's
platform. His political be
liefs differ from the Demo
cratic tradition. This seems
obvious from his stand on
the issues.
When the party fails to do
their duty and select a high
ly qualified candidate for
the office of Governor, then
the people must rise up and
correct this grave mistake.
The ultimate responsibility
rests with the people. Ne
braska must and wants to
go forward. It is time to
look for new leadership. It
is time to Build Nebraska.

Who Shoots
Dear Editor:
Clarence Streit, widely re
spected for having devoted
all the past twenty-five
years to freedom and peace,
and for his integrity and
fairness throughout, testi
fied before the Republican
Party Platform Committee
in July 1964, that the future
of freedom depended in no
small degree on the Senator
from Arizona, because of
his determined stand for
Atlantic Union as the pillar
of our foreign policy.
Clarence Streit further
testified that the highly de
veloped nations of the At
lantic community are per
fectly capable of working
out common trade and poli
tical policies which could
bring down the power of
Communism without war.
Senator Goldwater's ac
ceptance speech envisioned
the "flowering of an Atlan
tic civilization." Can it be
that the Americans who
have denounced him as an
irresponsible nation
alist have been shooting
from the hip themselves
President Johnson's ac
ceptance speech pictured a
great society apparently
limited to Americans on
ly. His speech never explicit
ly extended this great socie
ty beyond the USA. Surely
these assessments by Clar
ence Streit, whom nobody
ever accused of being a war
monger, should put to rest
accusations as to Senator
Goldwater's alleged "isola
tionism" and "warmonger
ing" tendencies.

Encouraging
Dear Editor,
I read your editorial in
the October 28 issue of the
Daily Nebraskan wherein
as editor you gave support
for Senator Barry Goldwat
er for President.
I feel it is indeed com
plimentary to you to take
such a forward and thought
ful stand.
It is encouraging that a
young lady like you stands
up against what is called
the present "trend" and it
is so easy to follow the op
posite road. To many people
it appears, it is even the
profitable road, it seems.
This so called "trend"
can never be good in the
long run. I am surprised
with the views and position
of some of your friends in
the magazine and news
paper field. Maybe the very
fact your paper The Daily
Nebraskan is independent,
and exists not for selfish
ness, allows you to be free
for expression.

oot From Hip
With regard to Mr. Neal's
charge that Senator Gold
water's image of trigger
happiness is based only on
statements by Hubert Hum
phrey, perhaps we could
best look at a Goldwater
statement which came out
during an interview with
Hermann Schreiber of "Der
Spiegel" (a West German
news magazine).
This was on June 30, 1964,
and was reprinted in the
New York Times of July 11,
1964
Senator Goldwater said,
"Now I'll have to admit
that I possibly do shoot
from the hip. I'll have to
admit also that while I'm
not the most intelligent man
in the world, and a lot of
people think I'm quite ig
norant, that I've traveled
more this world, I've done
more things, I've experi
enced more things probably
than most men of this Con
gress. So I've been exposed to
problems and I don't have
to stop and think in details
about them."

The
Republican
By George Duranskc
The campaign for the
Presidency 1964 seems to
boil down to a choice of mi
nor issues, depending on
whether one considers the
Republican analysis or the
analysis of the Democrats.
The Democratic analysis
in the closing moments of
the campaign attempts to
deal with peace and pros
perity. The Democrats state
that we have true peace to
a greater extent than ever
before.
The Democratic party has
sidestepped the fact that we
are at war now by attempt
ing to blame the Eisenhow
er administration for lack
of action to take care of the
crisis in South Viet Nam.
In actuality, the U.S., with
a Democratic administra
tion for the last four
years, has caused or pro
vided the basis for such
headlines as "Red Chinese
Advancements in Southeast
Asia.
The second area of Demo
cratic challenge comes in
the field of the assertion
that we have the best at
tainable prosperity. Unfor
tunately the Democratic
party fails to realize our
unemployment rate was 5.1
per cent due to automation,
depressed areas over our
country and a 15 per cent
unemployment rule for
young persons in our soci
ety. In spite of the fact that
billions of dollars have
been poured into bills de
signed to take care of these
problems, the problems
still exist.

Political Spectrum
in our country within planks
in the Republican party,
have indicted the integrity
of the Johnson administra
tion. Generally it must be
said that Johnson had been
so close to such politically
corrupt figures that the
American public cannot
help but wonder to what ex
treme LBJ has been using
his office for the advance
ment of personal gain.
The quick shutdown of
the Bobby Baker investiga
tion tops the list of ques
tions regarding President
Johnson's integrity.
The TFX contract award
causes Americans to won
der to what extend Lyndon's
future and monetary worth
are dependent upon favors.
The Walter Jenkins case
raises the question of out
and out carelessness. Even
though Jenkins claims he
did not divulge top secret
material to the Commu
nists, the problem still was
pointed out: LBJ had not
had the FBI run security
checks on this man. Why?
Further we might ask why
Jenkins refused to testify in
a subcommittee hearing.
Due to the 'failure of the
Democratic party and
President Johnson to pro
vide true peace and pros
perity and due to the ques
tions of integrity surround
ing LBJ, we must accept
the undenied integrity of
Senator Goldwater.

Democratic
By Robert thorny
Time magazine for Oct.
30 lamented that this politi
cal campaign was "going to
prove the vital difference
between two strong politi
cal parties; it has merely
shown that one, the G.O.P.
is in need of great repair."
It is indeed a shame that
this campaign could not
have been conducted on the
basis of issues. Instead, it
has centered on an evasion
of the issues, from the high
est echelons right down to
the lowest.
The Republican campaign
began with criticism of the
accomplishments of the last
1 four years, and certainly
an opposition party is re
quired to do that. But an
opposition party is also ob
ligated to provide an alter
native. This has not hap
pened. The Republican candidate
has criticized domestic pol
icy, yet has not proposed
any alternative except the
kind of government with
drawal which produced and
exacerbated the Depression.
The Republican candidate
has redefined the word "to
strengthen," when used in
connection with Social Se
curity, so that "to strength
en" now means to deprive
of added funds, to keep from
an extension of the benefits,
perhaps even to make vol
untary. The only alternative pro
posed in the realm of for
eign policy has come from
the Senator's endorsement
of German foreign policy,
when he stated, "... the
only person who is respected
is the one who clearly says
when necessary that he
is determined to go to ex
tremes. That is a policy
your country (Germany)
and all successful countries
have followed throughout
the past thousand years."

The Republican candidate
has criticized the conduct of
the war in Viet Nam. yet
has not suggested any oth
er way of conducting, aside
from defoliating the jungles,
a statement he quickly re
pudiated. The Democratic party, on
the other hand, has pre
sented both a record oi
peace with security, of econ
o m I c prosperity, and of
progress in the protection
of individual freedoms and
security, and a program to
continue these advances.
Faced with overwhelming
public support for the status
quo, Goldwater, "the man
of principles," has aban
doned these "principles" to
engage in a bitter round of
character assassination.
He has employed insinu
ation and innuendo to ob
fuscate the issues with a
veil of smear. He has in
troduced no proof for any
of his charges. He has sim
ply become more and more
vitriolic in an attempt to
discredit the President
through sheer power of ver
biage. Faced with this situation,
the choice facing the voters
of America is clear. We
must vote Democratic on
November 3rd. The conse
quences are too frightening
not to do so.
