THE GERMANS AND THE GOV

that, Id our article few days ago, preferrDg
Mr.. Louis Alfred Wittz Of the two candidates
proposed from the city, we simply gave ex-
preston to the general feeling of our Ger
| man countrymen. We even venture to say
he has among the Germans more active polit-
ical and personal friends than we could have
believed. The Ogden ''boom," on the other
side loses ground every day among the Ger
mans, and the louder the same is heralded,
the larger grows the number OF those who
have hitherto been undecided and who now
become Wiltz supporters And there are
good reasons tor this.
The German by nature Is a decided enemy
Of all mere assumption and artificial strategy,
and nothing lS more objectionable to him
than empty talk and high-tOned phrases. He
carries into American politics the same COM
mon sense and cool judgment which has
marked his success In this country as mer-
chant and professional man, and he reflects
upon it more than the average American or
the citizen Of other nationalities.
The German voter considers the choice Of q
suitable candidate for SO important an Office
as that OF Governor very serious affair, and
endeavors to carefully examine all that Is
said pro and con- ne he COMPARES carefully
abilities of the rival candidates, and he de-
cides for himself, when convinced in his own
mind, as to who is the best qualified to carry
out the great duties Of the office. Sentimental

strange to the German mind and cannot
have any effect upon it,
Thus we see-and we speak here for by far
the grestest majority Of our German citi-
zens-two candidates who solicit the votes
for Governor. Both as we have stated be-
fore, are equally respectable men. and COM
mand the same elevated standing In society.
Should the office for which they run require
no special qualities but those OF a gentleman.
it would be tmmaterial which should be
chosen.
But this is not the case. The State but re-
Gently has framed new constitution, which
thoroughly reforms many parts Of the ad-
minstrative mechanism. It will become the
duty OF the next Legislature to practically
adapt our system Of laws to this constitution.
II nnast be expected Of the Gouernor of the
State, who, by virtue of his Office, has an Inn
portant and legitimate influence upon legisla-
tion, that he should be thoroughly acquainted
with existing laws, with the changes the new
constitution requires and with the working
Of all and singular the branches OF our
State government. 1t is further expected OF
him that he should know the wishes and
wants Of each portion OF as we'll as the State
at large; and, lastly, to have requisite knowl-
edge OF human nature and faculty OF dis

apple barrel to the curbstone the other
afternoon, Allied it with cobble-stones,
headed it up. and marked the barrel:
"Greenings-h handle carefully" The youth
retired to await further developments. and
they soon came. A sawdust wagon came
along, and the driver jumped down and
took a long look 1T the barrel. He proba-

it had not been rolled into the cellar.

he made dash for the prize. He proba-

he felt the weight of those cobble- stones
his surprise must have been great. He
gave one awful lurch, lifted the barrel
about an inch, and as his fingers raked
over the hoops he groaned in agony and
leaped into his wagon as II dog had been
