What the author means by "candid world" is unbiased, as in a world without a bias opinion, or none at all. The effect that this word choice has on the rhetoric as well as the intended audience of the text is that the excerpt is stating that there is no need for a biased opinion in the government.

Your answer is: Unbiased; unbiased opinions
