Vote For Good Men Only.

It is to be hoped that the coming election will be Econducted peacably and honestly. A candidate should not fall out with his neighbor be- cause he doesn't vote for him. Such action does not 5lndicate unfriendli- ness necessarily. If a man votes eonscien tiously he will vote for the candidate whom he thinks IS best qualified for the office he seeks. Friendship should not always in fuence man in casting his vote. If one has friend who wants an office, but who is not qualified for it, he cannot afford to ignore his obIiga- tions of citizenship and to the com munity in which he lives by sup porting him for office. If he does, he becomes a public enemy and can. not be considered in any sense, q good citizen. We have cliques, com binations and factions in Hot Springs just as they have else where. Such will always be found in every community, but if all good citizens will turn out at the polls and vote only for the best material available the influence of dema- gogues and professional politicians and pic hunters, who only look after their individual interests-the peo. pie be d-d-can be largely over come.
