A letter defends an editorial stance on the McDonald Cherry contest. The Enterprise concedes repeating CIOPAC funding insinuations, notes McDonald’s denial, and argues its critique targets fitness and temperaments rather than personal attacks. The paper asserts Cherry would win if voters knew the candidates as long as they do.

Roosevelt Wallace running mate talk hangs over Congress
