I f this were a national election, the questions asked by the editorial would be very pertinent, but it is hard to see what purpose would be served toy dragging such issues into a purely local emotion. It would be unfortunate fw the Town if the campaign got so far off the track that we went to the polls this November to vote for candidates on the basis of what they think of the Truman Administration instead * \ V we do let ourselves get so d i verted, we shall be deliberately throwing away any chance to break up the unfortunate one- party system in the Town. (The Town officials' cynical defensive line that one-party government; ought to be O.K. in New Castle because we have a one-party gov- t ernment in Washington sounds 1 as if they think the voters in . this Town are not quite bright. 1 Incidentally, if one party is in control of Congress, it would be interesting to know what that party is.)

It may be argued, as the Town officeholders did argue in the Justice of the Peace election last fall, that a vote for a Democrat to run the Town government would be a vote for the Demo cratic national administration. But the argument is s o far-fetch- 0 that it doesn't need answer ing; no one is so foolish as to believe that the election of Democrats to our Town Board would change any voters' opin ions about what goes on in Washington.
