GENERAL ELECTIONS

The election oampaign
throughout the distriot
has oouie to its final phase.
There are feverish activi-
ties everywhere to woo
the voters by different
political parties and inde-
pendent candidates. This
time" there will be a keen
contest for all the seats
and it is difficult to say
anything at the present
moment. We have already
said that the election is
a test of policy and pro-
gramme of the parties. It
is unfortunate that perso-
nal attacks are being made
in puhlic meetings and
most of the speakers de-
vote their time in attack-
ing each other ine'rnd of
describing their party "s
programme and policy.
Your paper has also not
been spared. Speaking at
a public meeting last week
Sri Nar Bahadur Gurung
made some referenoe about
this paper. This outburst
of anger shows the igno-
ranoo of the speaker about
the role of newspapers in
India. Hie threatening
attitude adnptud by the
Congress and its canva-
ssort won't pay any divi•
d 'rid,, ThiB attitude is due
to frustration bt cause the

Congress candidate standi
thoroughly exposed before
his own people to day.
