Voters have listened to 15 candidates. With few exceptions the speeches, platforms and promises differ in no way from the stereotyped stuff of the early-day politicians. In spite of the claims of the several candidates, The Star is convinced that a majority of the voters today do'not know who they are going to vote for next Tuesday. The alarmists will say it is because we as a people are more interested in the lighter things of life than we are in good government. + But that isn’t the case. Our apathy, our lack of interest, is occasioned not because we have lost \inter- est in worth-while endeavors; it is because so few worth-while ideas are submitted. Candidates, instead of hewing rigidly to a line and placing principle above self, are dodging issues, fear- fully facing the various groups who demand special representation. The average candidate for governor this year has tried to cover himself with so many popular banners that not one of them stands out above the others. Realizing the importance of a real executive in the state during the next four years, thoughtful folks have cast their eyes longingly over the political horizon in the hope of discovering at least the shadow of The Big Idea. Tomorrow The Star will discuss the governorship more in detail.
