They must elect their first. representative to Congress. And if they do justice to this district, their representative must be a, man of especially 'high character Who will have the. ability and the qualifications for playing a dominant part in the nation's affairs. First of à11 the candidate should be a man of education,.backgroôund, proved abilIity -ofa bigh order,. and preferably of some experience in busi- ness,' professional, or public life. He sbould be, independent in tbought, fearless and free from-alliance with machine. politics. We are not looking, for a politician in the cheap sense of the word.
