Defeats Sutton 355 to 192; Little
Interest Shown By Voters

Apparently little interest was
taken beforehand in the city cccl-
missioner's race between L. -P.
Sutton. and the incumbent, J. L.
Sharit, yet on Tuesday a total of
551 ballots were cast, which han
been estimated to be about 80 pex.
cent of the registered voters now
in the city. Total number of regis-
tered voters is 1,086, but of these
a 'large number are, in the, armed
services and others, have left tNao
city but their names still remain
on the' registration books,.
The final tally Tuesday night
resulted in 355 ballots cast for Mr.

four thrown out as spoiled.
The board of commissioners wil-
meet at the city hall thigh evening,
at 8 o'clock for the purpose of s.-

Our Country Right or Wrong

DIRTY BUSINESS
' The aid and comfort given our enemies by
Axis agents who may destroy a unit of some
industry, or by strikers who close whole in-
dustries, is the'same except the strikers give
infinitely more aid.
Strikes in 1943 almost doubled the aver-
age for the 15-year period preceding our en-
try into war, and totaled 3,737, or, 13,947,273
man-days. It is difficult to understand the
spirit that moves men to such desertion on
their posts of duty, often for the most trivial
reasons, except there is no protection in this
country for a man who wishes to work con-
trary to a strike order. :-i '

CONGRESS MUST BE 'BLOC' BUSTER
The congress of the United States is made
up, in the main, of hard working,-sincere men
who have the best interests of the nation at
heart. During .the past decade, congress ha-
been subjected to reprehensible pressurv-
group ,attacks. Organizations representing
"blocs" of citizens, and professing to speak
,for such voting groups, put pressure on con-
gressmen to force through class legislation.
Such practices, unless curbed, will be the
ruination of any country. Organization leacd-
ership should raise its sights. Congress should
not be subjected to high pressure coercion.
Special pleaders for pressure groups have
sought to make this a country of special
privileges for minorities at The expense of the
majorities.
If we want to perpetuate, our republic o.
the basis of liberty and opportunity for all,
it is high time that when we go before ouT
lawmakers with our problems we show more
than a mere desire to feather our own nest.
For, after all, the best nest feathering each
one of us can do is to help perpetuate con-
stitutional government in the United States.

control. -, --i,,-; :' ', *! ,.*?.
