WHAT THEY MUST DO.

Ii the city political campaign about to
open the obligation rests on the Repub-
lican opposition to establish afirmativeIy
two things first, that for the best inter
ests of the community Mayor Smiths ad
ministration should be repudiated by the
voters, and, second, that Mr. F. B. Doran
should be elected in Mayor Smiths stead.
No reason seems thus far to be as
signed why Mayor Smith and his ad-
ninistration should be rejected. Yet tho
opposition stands to tell the public some
sufficient reason or reasons why this
should be done. When they have essayed
to do this through their newspapers and
orators, it will be necessary for them to
give some attention to the proposition
that f. B. Doran is a fit man to elect in
Mayor Smiths stead.
Both Of the candidates for MAYOR are
well known personally and as public men.
Both have held the office of mayor The
voters have the amplest means of in
forming themselves concerning both gem
tlemen as public officials, in any direction
in which they stand in need of being in
formed. There need be no lack of in
formation concerning either, on which to
base an intelligent judgment.
Mayor Smiths present administration
lies like an open book before the people
The Republican opposition to that admin
istration must show the voters that that
administration was not economical. was
not honest. did not discharge ably and
faithfully the duties of the protection of
life and property which its representa-
tives were elected to discharge. If they
cannot show this they are merely try.
ing to deceive the community.
But they must do more than this Tba,,
must establish affirmatively, by positive
convincing evidence that Frank B. Doran
should in the public interest be elected
mayor, instead of the present citv ex-
ecutive They must show that Mr.
Doran's former administration, as MAYOR
was 50 much superior in the promotion of
the welfare of the community and its
people to Mr.. Smiths present adninistra-
lion that Mr.. Doran ought again to be
made mayor.
The Globe does not believe that
either OF these propositions can be es-
'ahilshed, CT. irdeed, that the Republican
opposition can show single reason why
b. Doran should be elected over r. A.

normally Republican city.
This kind of reasoning will not do.
democrats ought not to be expected to
take the affirmative side of the argument,
and show the reverse of all that the Re
publicans, in the nature Of things, are
called on to show. And yet, it may be-
come necessary for Democrats to do just
that thing. They may find it desirable
to establish that it would be municipal
suicide for st. Paul to put F. B. Doran
back in the mayors Office, after the
city's experience of him and his adminis-
tration from 1896 to 1898.
The record left by Mayor Doran is sucn
that T G l o b could, if it tried show
record of a hold-up or a burglary or
some other serious crime Of violence COM
mitted against the citizens of st. Paul
or their property during Doran's admins
tration, for every day from now till the
election day. 1t could convict Mayor
Doran's administration, out of the mouth
of its contemporaries of fraud and cor
ruption, Of completely with criminals, Of
inability to protect life or property dur
ing it's existence.
Il e G o b does not want to be
obliged to show these things. 1t would
prefer to follow any effort seriously made
by its Republican contemporaries to show
that Mayor Smith ought to be beaten
and Mayor Doran elected.
