Joy the benefits of office which the
voters of the party really bestow. in
accordance with states made up by
the party leaders. The idee appears
to be that those who do the voting
should have something to say about
the candidates they vote for.
The News does not believe in changing all
officers every four years as matter Of
principle, but We wish simply TO bring out
the fact that Offices are nothing in the
world but situations given out by the people
10 those whom they desire 10 honor or
trust. They are bonuses for feal;y TO party
principle and honorable business trausac-
tions. And. belUg the property OF the pee
pie, can be given at vii ID any whom the
people desire TO honor.
The repeated REORGANIZATION Of state
officers To be their own successor =.
while emineutly complimentary to
them, argues 20 the effect that the
party contains no others worthy or
capable to take their places. There
nav be others whom the people
would gladly honor. did they not
permit themselves 70 be governed,
in the convention, by those who
claim that "the interests OF the
party demand that incumbents Of
long standing should succeed them
selves. The Interests of the party
Is an argument, when thus used. that
really means the personal interest of
some political leader who regards
the re-nOminatiOn OF an incumbent
as essential to his private plans.
The voters of the party are quite as
loyal to its real interests a. any OF
its leaders, and have quite as much
right as they TO decide what that in
terest really is.
One OF the most democratic provisions %:
the state constitution forbids the governor
TO hold office two terms in succession. and
It's generally understood that his cabinet
VIII 20 ont with him.
The News ardcntly desires that
the constitutional provision affecting
the gOvernOrship shall be extended
to include all state officers, and fur
ther suggests that its extension TO
include all county officers as well. :
a question which deserves the seri-
Gus consideration of every public
spirited citizen of the state. Exist
iLg conditions, with regard to bo.h
state and county offices, warrant
the declaration that no better time
for the consideration Of such a pro.
vision could be desired.
