Should the Social Democrats carry
the election in Kenosha this spring it
is certain that the men elected to office
will carry out the principles of the
! party in the administration of their
offices, and if they do not their Offices
will be easily vacated, for at the con-
vention of the party held on Saturday
evening, all the nominees took an
obligation to carry out the tenets of
Socialism if elected.
To emphasize this obligation, each
of the nominees Of the party.f1ed with
the city committee of the Social
Democratic party his resignation
from Office. Should any ofa them be
elected this resignation will be held
by the committee, and sif he fails to
follow the principles ofshis party, the
resignation will at onces Represented
and the Office can be dec1ared,vacant
Of course, it is possible1that a COM
mon council mightsrefuse to..accept a
resignation presented by third party
but the party leaders ghave taken
every step to keep themselves free
| from traitors.
