Material for pub- reader coverage wolls EDITORIAL VIEWS AND COMMENT The political picture for the pri- mary election has squared itself with the deadline for the filing of nomination petitions on Mon- day night of this week, and from all appearances the most inter- esting feature of the April con- test will be who's going to get the Democratic Assembly nomin- ations in the second legislative district of Cambria county. Three of the men whose names will ap- pear on the ballot have received the indorsement of the Cambria Co. Democratic Committee. It will be the province of the others to attempt to “bust the slate.” // Because there are so few contests in the primaries in the two major parties, the assump- tion can be made that the vote likely will be light. Whether this feature may prove disas- trous to some of the assembly candidates or not, we wouldn't know. However, the people can be assured that there will be a lot of activity in the weeks be- fore us, on the part of the can- didates—all of them—who want to go to Harrisburg. // Incidentally, the job of being an Assemblyman isn't such a bad deal these days. When the writer was a member of the legislature, it wasn’t so hot, financillay. But the good members of the 1947 session did a bit of something worth while for themselves in the way of allowing themselves a tax-free expense account of $100 a month, for the 24 months they serve. The regular payment for a session, held once in two years, is $3,000. Adding the $2,400 to that amount, makes a $5400 sal- ary for a few months’ actual em- ployment. No wonder there are so many who want to help make the laws of Pennsylvania. // As the weeks roll along this column will have various things to say re candidates and political matters. This week it is sufficient to say that the pri- mary election will be interest- ing, at least to the people who are politically-minded. " In the campaign before the el- ection of last year, something a bit new in Cambria County poli- tics, and campaigning, was ob- served—and likely the tactics in utilization at that time on the part of the Democratic candidates pay generous dividends. At least the result of the election would so indicate. It was all confined to one theory—organization. The va- rious candidates—all of them— campaigned in a group, and for one another. The plan of proced- ure was mapped out by the Cam- bria Co. Democratic Committe, headed by John R. Torquato. The campaign was managed by the Committee. The candidates abid- ed by the planning. Results are that they did wisely. /r There aren’t many Republi- can officeholders left vp in the Ebensburg courthouse, and it seems a bit amusing to the re- cently elected Democratic offi- cials to hear some of the com- plaints made by the folks who “picked wrong” last year. Par- ticularly is this true when some member of the G. O. P. breth- ren is removed from a pay- roll to make room for some good and deserving Democrat. // But, all in all, the Democratic... .party and the executive commit- tee haven't been so hard on many They Come Pouring In...Because...

PHONE 3161 Patton for a call from our representative of the Republican employees in the courthouse and have assumed an attitude that career service is to be rewarded, regardless of the political affiliation of the em- ployee. On the other hand, there are remunerative jobs that have been held by Republicans for lo, these many years, that surely now should go to the deserving of the victorious party. There's no use in anyone kidding themsel- ves. Solidarity in political organ- izations is obtained through a justifiable distribution of the spoils. Organization politics can be honest politics, and surely no one in Cambria County would ac- cuse the officials of being dis- honest. But without a doubt the men who occupy the official po- sitions in the courthpuse, owe a great deal to the men who were |out on the hustings working for | them—and for ALL of them, not simply some one or two .individ- uals. lf So, when members of the of- ficial family of the courthouse are chided for listening to the recommendations, verbal or otherwise, of the Democrate County Executive Committee, through the Chairman of the party, they must remember that they are simply rewarding the members of their own organi- zation who worked so valiantly for them. Had the very people who now find fault shown the same interest in the candidates whom the voters indicated by ballot they wanted, no one of these men would be in danger of losing lucreative jobs. 14 The Democratic party last year had a program. It was a good program. It was a program that was honorable and above board. It was a program designed to elect all the Democrats possi- ble by being, all for one and one for all. But the candidates alone could not have done this without the great help given by so many others within the party who al- so worked hard for victory. That they should bear the fruits of the victory, too, goes without ques- tion. For those folks from with- out the party who now find fault with the syestem, we can only say, “Uneasy rests the job of any cne who is a political appointee.” Zz The very idea that any of the officials elected last year on the Democratic ticket in Cambria county would want to cross the organization that el- ected them, would surely be an evidence of bad faith on the part of the individual attempt- ing to do so. They would be without honor, and under cov- er would probably be despised by the very folks from without the Democratic party, whom they would favor, without jus- tice. 4 The chaps who do the most of the lamenting these days about how cruelly some employee or de- partment head is being treated, are not registered with the Dem- ocratic party. Theirs is the voice of “someone lost,” and if the tide turns otherwise at some subse- quent election, naturally the vic- tors, then, too, can divide the spoils—and they certainly will.
