duty to see that none but the most
suitable men be elected. They should
be men of undoubted integrity and
honesty men in whom you can place
the utmost confidence. They should,

good Judgment, of progressive views,
and OF intelligence.

Taxpayers will, when it is too late. see

private ones I; but the cheapest things,
must be borne in mind, are not al.
ways the best on the contrary, they
