EDITORIAL NOTES.

uSsunl'
IN order that the " Press" may
maintain its reputation for "fair
dealing" we would suggest that it
have a regular auction sale of sup
port hereafter. This thug of max
ing private sales hardly gives all
candidates a fair chance, whereas
they might compete in a more pub
lie manner and raise enthusiasm
enough to bid more.
THAT enterprising firm which
would sell anything it can get hold
OF is offering to the public a lot Of
election tickets which do not belong
to it. If its managers can make any
electioneering capital out Of the
mistakes of Others, they are welcome
to the profits OF all such dirty advan'
tages.
We have little question to ask
the public, and shall wait patiently
for an answer prompted by logical
deductions in the premises. 1t is
this: If Morris Haller is as low
down and contemplate as the "Press"
pretends he is, and yet its managers
made proposition to support him
for the pitiful sum of twenty-five
dollars, how mean and utterly des.
picable must man get to be to pre-
U'.de the possibility Of hiring that
sheet to support him !? Let those Of
its very few admirers, who are ex'
perts, rise and explain.
JUST THE MAN.-Mr. Ryan is ad-
mitted, even by his opposers, to be a
thorough gentleman; and no one
questions his possession of all the
qualifications necessary to render
him an efficient and acceptable SER
want Of the people in the next legis.
lature. His election is assured by a
rousing majority, such vote as he
deserves. Those who have no other
argument to offer against his cleo
tion than that he cannot leave his
school are hard pushed for some
thing to say. We have no words Of
objection to offer against Mr.. Tucker,
but a great many in favor of Mr..
Ryan.
In casting your ballot, don't forget
to vote on the separate articles to be
decided upon in connection with the
proposed state constitution. Most
of the tickets printed will have a
blank before Separate Article" in
each case, SO that if you do not write
"For" or "Against' jin the proper
places, your vote upon the article
lett blank will not be counted. Re.
member that separate articles Nos.
| and 2 grant to the female sex the
right to vote and to hold Office, re-
spectively. We believe they will
be voted down by large majority.
No. 3 should by all means be en-
dorsed "For," as it grants local
option law which means simply that
each county may decide by its own
vote whether licenses to sell intoxi
eating liquors within its limits may
be granted or not.
BECAUSE the "Press" managers
iaiied IN their attempts to browbeat
Mr.. Kuhn into playing second fiddle
for them, they ask with much gravity
regarding an alleged remark made
by him to the effect that he owed his
election as a member of the last Ter
ritorial Council to Republican votes.
When one considers the facts that
Mr. Kuhn is Democrat and ran as
Democrat in a council district
which is strongly Republican, the
silly aspect of this grave (?) question
needs no pointing out. What would
be more natural than that be should
make just such a remark ? He was
elected, as we understand, to repre-.
sent the whole people of the district;
and, if he discharged his duties faith.
