Gore: elections go to highest bidders
The possibility of a young
backwoodsman being elected
to the U.S. Senate today is
remote, ex-Senator from
Tennessee Albert Gore said
Tuesday afternoon.
Public office is almost up to
the highest bidder, said Gore,
who was defeated in his bid for
re-election last falL
"It's fantastic that we have
come to this," he told a small
Centennial Room audience. He
pointed out that the major
ways of campaigning,
advertising on television and
computerized letter writing for
instance, cost huge amounts of
money.
"We depend on the honesty,
courage, capacity and integrity
of a very small group of men,"
noted Gore. "Our whole
system of freedom depends on
them."
This small group of people
should be completely free from
the worries of the pocketbook.
"WE SHOULD HAVE the
government discipline, regulate
and finance the campaign," said
Gore, explaining that at one
time he received committee
approval of a similar proposal
but it was defeated mainly
because southern Democrats
and Republicans teamed
against it.
Reform must come,
sometime he said, but only
when a President, a
Vice-President and a Congress
will fight for it.
At the root
of the
politician's incentive
to run.
said the keynote
.speaker,
should be the desire
to serve
the public good.
"IN THE BROADEST sense
a political office is far more
than an elected office. It is a
science of government; of the
processes and procedures of
government by which the
people work their will or how
it is somewhat subverted," he
said.
Explaining that he was
trying to be as non-partisan
and objective as possible when
taling about politics, Gore said
that he believes that everything
is fine in Washington but unless
we do something get
worse.
Defending appointed
offices, he said that they
should not be denigrated, as
bureaucracy often is,
because all public officials
depend on their technical staff
for advice.
Gore offered two good

points about appointed offices.
One was that they were easy to
obtain and the other that the
person is allowed to be
professional in his position.
"WE ARE A technocratic
society," said the former
Congressman and Senator.
"Many of our problems are the
result of the technocracy."
Commenting on the
Vietnam War, Gore said:
"It's part of our American
folklore that our country must
always be right; that whatever
we do is moral.
Gore said that it's also part
of this folkfore to believe that
every war is for a worthy
purpose and that we must win
all wars.
What has happened with the
Vietnam war and with the My
Lai trials has undermined the
people's sense of morality
about war, he noted.
"WHO WOULD HAVE
judged that Lt. Calley would
become a folk hero?" Gore
asked "I tow do you explain
the condonement of merciless
murders?
Offering his explanation, he
said that the best-rationale is
that the conviction of Lt. Calley
undermines the morality of the
war.
"George Washington once
warned people about becoming
inveterate slaves to their
prejudices," Gore went on.
"Because they they become

This is the case with
Communism, said the
ex-Senator from Tennessee,
"so that everything that is
branded with Communism is
branded bad and must be
destroyed.
In today's panorama of
change mankind is looking for
a morality when, there is none,
he continued.
"Our system is not perfect,
but it's better than any other
