EDITORIAL VIEWS AND COMMENT
This week this column again
must, it seems, become one of a|Democratic
personal political nature, and we
hope our readers will pardon us
for the intrusion. We can well
remember some years ago when
H. G. Andrews was editor of the
Johnstown Democrat, he publish-
ed a commentary that Editor
Owens should not be too modest
and promote the interests of Can-
didate Owens. Since that time,
we have, at least to some degree,
followed the advice.
°
Some six weeks ago the
editor of this paper, through
the death of am able County
Commissioner, Frank P. Hol-
lern, succeeded by unanimous
appointment of the Cambria
Co. Court to his position for
the balance of the term, expir-
ing next Jan. 5. Prior to the
death of Commissioner Hollern,
Editor Owens, with Mr. Hol-
lern, was endorsed by the Dem-
ocratic County Committee as a
preferred candidate for nomin-
ation. Because of that fact and
due to the theory that Northern
Cambria Co. should be entitled
to representation in the Com-
missioner’s Office, the court
was unanimous in our selection
at the suggestion of the County
Committee.
\
To most all our readers of the
persuasion, we are
not unknown. We are not new in
public service. During the ses-
sions of 1941, 1942 and 1945 we
were one of the three candidates
from the Second District of Cam-
bria Co. selected by the voters to
serve them in the State Legisla-
ture, and our only statement in
connection with this public ser-
vice is that we endeavored at all
times to represent our constitu-
ency to the best of our humble
ability.
°
Anyway, it has given us quite
some general knowledge of
public problems, many af which
cannot but have a direct bear-
ing on the duties of a County
Commissioner. We claim no
extraordinary ability, but we
do feel that we are endowed
with common ordinary horse-
sense in business matters.
There are hundreds upon hun-
dreds of other Democrats here
in the north of the county with
equal and better ability, no
doubt, but into our hands has
fallen the opportunity of nom-
ination and, we hope, election.
We solicit your support at the
primary next Tuesday, Sept. 9.

to play the game of politics
cleanly and fairly. Never have we
attacked any opposing candidate
except upon his record of the
past, and when the voting public
has upheld the opposition we've
never felt aggrieved at the man-
date of the voting majority.
After a battle, we always have
been able to greet our opposition
as a friend. Any candidate ever
opposing up must agree to that.
.
Nor will we conduct a cam-
paign this year that will reflect
in any way upon any other
candidate. Despite the fact that
in at least one campaign cer-
tain of the opposition, but not
the opposing candidate, spread
unsigned literature about the
north of the county, only to
have it prove a boomerang in
the districts involved, the mat-
ter was ignored by us, and if
such again happens, it likewise
will be passed over. We feel
that in our many years of pub-
lic service, folks who know us
in Cambria Co. can judge for
themselves.
*
In the six weeks we have ser-
ved as minority Commissioner of
Cambria Co. we have learned a
lot by experience and will learn
lots more before the period of
our appointment expires. Cambria
County’s business is really BIG
BUSINESS. The Commissioner's
Office is the heart of all the
business affairs of the county and
the coverage of duties are so
wide in scope that few people
really are acquainted with the
importance of the office.
.
The Democratic County Com-
mittee favored us with endorse-
ment on its so-called slate of
candidates. This endorsement
was given because the County
Committee felt that it was only
fair and just and that some
consideration be given the can-
didates of the slate as to geo-
graphical location, as well as
various other qualifications and
conditions. It was the thought
of the Committee in suggesting
our appointment that no fair
appointment of a Commissioner
could be made unless, the
North of Cambria Co. would be
recognized.
®
Hence the suggestion by the
committee to the Democratic vot-
ers is that one candidate from
the north and one from the south
of the county be named. Folks
who remember back over the
years well know that neither the
Republicans nor the Democrats
have been able to nominate a
Commissioner candidate from the
north for the past quarter cen-
tury or more, and that when the
balloting at the general elections
came, there were none to vote
for from the north.
®
With this last issue before
the primary election next Tues-
day, we solicit the support of
the Democratic voters from all
parts of Cambria Co. upon this
premise. There will be no Re-
publican nominees for County
Commissioner from Northern
Cambria Co. There will be,
however, if we are nominated,
one Democratic candidate from
the north and and one Demo-
cratic candidate from the south
on the ballot at the gemeral
election.
®
Therefore, we urge all our
Democratic readers who feel we
have the qualifications to take a
bit of time off next Tuesday and
to go to the polls. There are
other candidates also on the bal-
lot, and really the Democratic
primary is an important one.
Even if you feel we shouldnt
continue as a County Commis-
sioner, it still is you duty to
vote. That's your duty—any way
you take it. If you have consid-
eration for our candidacy, we
will, of course, appreciate it.
