While Republican officials are drawing
the party line closely, it would be highly
proper for Democrats TO do likewise. We
have a Democratic mayor and a Demo
cratic city council, yet nearly one half of
the city officials, who are appointed by the
mayor and confirmed by the city council,
are Republicans. 1t is inconsistent for.
Democrats to call upon the national ad-
ministration to replace all Republican
territorial placeholders with Democrats.
when Democrats who have the power and
opportunity to do the very same thing in
our municipality, neglect or fail to do
what they ask the president to do for
them. Let Democrats in authority adopt
the broad and comprehensive principle laid
downbythe Republican county board, that
the officials having voted against Demo
Gratis at the last election deserve no recog.
milton at the hands of Democrats, and
thus remove all Republicans for cause.
Like a former Republican governor of
Wyoming, who, when requested to make
a Democrat a notary public, replied, 81
am not here to appoint any Democrats to
Office" let our city fathers proclaim the
fact that only Democrats will be put on
guard in the city of Cheyenne by a Demo-
cratic mayor and city council.
