PARTISAN CARTOON

I was angry, disgusted and, yes, even surprised to see such a one-sided political cartoon on your Oct. 6 editorial page.

It showed that a man who said he'd vote for President Clinton, because the polls show him ahead, may regret it the next day. So he is advised to vote for Mr. Dole. What insensitivity, to allow such partisanship.

We are both Democrats and Republicans in our area and we are also proud conservatives and proud liberals. I know your paper is conservative in its leanings, but please be fair to all of us. Don't tell people how to vote.
