a number OF candidates for town
offices, and friends OF all OF the candid
;ltes, have been busy the past week in
terviewingv oters.
III a recent issue OF the News, we en-
deavored togivea complete listof all can
didates for the several town offices. So
lar az we have been able to ascertain,
the list, as published is correct, with one
exception. Since publishing the list OF
candidates Mr.. Richmond, who has been
III the hotel business here for many years
and Il former member OF the town board,
has announced himself ais IL candidate
for side supervisor.
Indications now point to a spirited
contest both at the caucus and at the
polls, especially for chairman and side
supervisors. 4he candidates, without
exception, are old residents Of the town
While some OF the candidates are doubt
less better qualified than Others to per-
form the duties OF the office to which
they aspire, we believe they are all re-
putable citizens and the News has not
oughts to say against the character OF
any OF the gentlemen whose names have
Office. Economy in town and county
affairs should be put in practice, not
only by town and county officials but
By every citizen who furnishes material
or labor for which the mucipality is
chargeabe Economy is talked at ev.ry
election and the outgoing board is
charged with extravaganza and corrup-
ton, we know there has been 10 excep-
ton to this rule. Taxes are to high and
there IS room for retrenchment. The
NEWS has no pet candidates but hopes
to see a set OF officers nominated and
and elected who will administer the affairs
OF thetoWn and county inan economical
and business like manner and that,
when they are elected, the citizens will
not insist on receiving more for services
and material furnished the municipality
than is charged to individuals.
AS was recently we'll said by one OF
our contemporaries, actions speak
stronger than words and the louder any
one rails against the iniquiti9s fthepre
ent order oft Kings, the greater should be
our reason for mistrlsting the motives;
t here is such thing as protesting to
much Honest men and honorable men
do not resort TO buncombe; tbs u poor
