SHOOT YOUR PETITIONS.

From the Fergus Falls Jouraa
It's reported that Congressman
Comstock has decided to pay no Mt.
tention to petitions presented by can.
didates for office III the Fifth, district,
This does not mean that the right of
petition is denied but petitions Of such
4 character have been presented to-
. him that they are worthless as Il guide
In determining what men he should
select for office. He finds that people
are inclined to sign any ones petition,
just to get rid Of them. Presently
the candidate appears and says that
he has the backing ofsuch and such
prominent men and he doesn't sec
Why he shouldn't have the office lie is
seeking for. Meantime some one has
notified the congressman that, the
petitioner is not fit for the place and
that he simply sighed his petition to
yet rid Of him. Of course the Cong
ressnman cailnnt tell his victims this,
and lie is is put lit q hole, fgumtively
speaking. As he cannot make the
appointment, and the candidate can
! not see Why, in view pf' his petition,
Mr.. Comstock is doing his constituents
a valuable service in thus throwing
petitions to to the wind, as it will save
candidates the expense of travelling
around getting them only to he dis.
appointed, and it will save the signers
the painful task Of stuItifying them
selves, Taking it all in all It is 4
i wise decision +.
