In an effort to quickly acquaint the public with the candidates in this regrettably hurried election, the Times will be running a series of articles about the candidates.
Old Platform; New Appeal
by Eleanor Esther Cummings
Rarely seen as a standout candidate, Benjamin Redford's subdued platform has surprising charm in this unexpected election. While this reporter has never felt any passion in his campaigning before, Mr. Redford seems extremely dedicated and was all too happy to be interviewed over a cup of coffee. He is, as always, the every-man's candidate.
Redford proclaims himself to not be a supporter of supernatural rights, but rather a supporter of civil rights as a whole. He addresses the need to provide for acceptance as well as equality. As a supernatural, he understands that more than any other candidate, perhaps, the need for acceptance as a human being, not merely a set of powers. Redford speaks casually of the need for public education for what he describes as "youths with supernatural abilities" who cannot otherwise afford to be educated about their abilities. This, he says, is one of the many failings of the local government in providing for the supernatural population. Previous proposals of special schools for so-called supernatural children have never appealed to Redford, who sees them as pushing supernaturals to consider themselves separate from a young age. Redford emphasizes the need for integration and mutual understanding in all endeavors.
