In accordance with "Smad's" usual practice at election times, the various nominees for Executive office have been interviewed and their views on what may be considered the more important issue set out below. The object of these paragraphs is to give voters some idea of the people from amongst whom they must choose giving as fully as is possible their qualifications, experience and statement of intended policy. "Smad" would like to insist that voters give these points careful consideration. The fault of all democracies is that "popularity" of a shallow superficial nature is too prone to weigh more heavily than ability and efficiency. Good administrators are seldom popular—they tread on too many corns. We would urge you, who should be voters of more than average intelligence, to beware of falling into the same error as less enlightened communities.
