Debate didn’t make an impact in the race
In regard to the editorial, July 14: Since when does attending or not attending a debate either qualify or disqualify a person for the office? Also, what authority does the newspaper have to tell people how to vote?
I did listen to the debate, but it did not “really make an impact” as indicated in the editorial.
From the time he announced for office, Mr. Rogers has let the people know how he thinks, what he stands for, how he can help to improve the county, and how he is qualified for the office. He has given this information in paid advertisements in the newspaper. As Mr. Clyde Prater stated in his letter to the editor: “If you don’t know this by now, you must not be reading the Southern Standard.”
Sincerely,
