Shanahan Says Parties Must Choose Candidates Carefully
Political parties should exercise careful judgment in selecting candidates for public office, Kansas Secretary of State Paul Shanahan, told members of the KU-Y Freshman Model Senate Saturday.
"Unfortunately, the word 'politics' has a dirty connotation to many people," Shanahan said in his brief address. "It's too bad that some people get into politics and then look for a way to make a dishonest dollar.
"This is the reason that the political parties should be certain they are nominating candidates of integrity."
SHANAHAN SAID many politicians are approached with tempting bribes, but they must always remember their duty to the voters who elected them. He said that early in his political career, he was offered a lucrative proposition.
Shanahan said that an alert and well-informed public can also be an effective check against the politician looking for a dishonest dollar.
"If I had taken this offer," he quipped, "I would now either be in Lansing (penitentiary) or sunny Florida."
"Government is everyone's business and it is everyone's duty to be informed of the workings of the government," he said.
BE COMPLIMENTED the participants in the Model Senate for their activity and interests in the functions of government.
"As our society becomes more and more complex, it requires more government, and it becomes necessary for each citizen to possess a greater knowledge of his government," Shanahan said.
He said that one of the chief functions of the government is to provide services, such as emergency blood control and regulation of interstate commerce that private citizens cannot provide by themselves.
While mentioning the duties and responsibilities of the government, Shanahan told Model Senate members he thought the prospects of passing some state legislation concerning Wichita University were good, but that amendments would have to be made to any proposal yet introduced.
