THE ELECTION TUESDAY.
Just Word About City Government and the Men Who
Make it Good Bad

Inc campaign just closing mas
been very quiet because there are
no great issues calling on the peo-
pie for attention. With the ac-
quirement OF the public utilities
the people seem to feel that they
should take rest from political
strife and let things take their
own course. This is partly justi
fable and partly error.
While our great questions have
been happily settled there are in
this election two proposals that
should receive attention Two
questions that will by neglect
grow and cause much friction in
the future. Paonia has voted
once decisively for dry town
IL is not true as is stated in the
Booster this week that this result
was secured by either the neglect
or connivance of this paper or
the supporters OF the reform
ticket. 1t came about through
the fact that the people were so
busy keeping the Booster and
Bro. Baxter from purloining an
electric light franchise that Lew
Rogers and his associates slipped
under our guard and made the
Town dry SO far as revenue was
concerned.
Now, before going farther
with this argument, we want to
disciaim holding any grudge or
enmity for any man on the Re
publican ticket. DR.. Dixon. whom
we are so earnestly opposing for
mayor, is a gentleman whom we
esteem and respect. We oppose
him for mayor because his ideas
conflict with what we believe in.
He is as unified for mayor from
our point of view as we would be
for pastor of the Friends church
from his standpoint We are not
even questioning his sincerity or
good motives in any degree, but
we want to analyze his own state
ments and see if good clear
majority of the people do not
agree with us that he ought to be
defeated.
To begin with, the Booster in
tentionally faisihes when it calls
the Citizens ticket a Saloon
Ticket. They know that it is
merely a peoples ticket that is
pledged and will obey the will
of the people. And is this not
absolutely right1
DIR. Dixon, good man. rises
superior to the will of the people
and says that his own conscience
shall be his guide. The people
may order what they like and he
will grant It if he considers their
order 4 correct one. In other
words, the creature will dictate to !

N'N S'N"hC'- LhSh opiihS liC SOOb
Doctor appeared before the coun-
Gil and gave a strong talk in favor
of Druggists permits. He was
challenged on the point of seek
ing to divert the whiskey business
to the drug stores and he dcmur-
red. Nevertheless. he refused to
go on record as saying that whis-
key was valuable for medicine
above many other remed es al
ways on hand in drug stores, and
admitted that he did not prescribe
it. He refused to unite in a re-
quest to the board cutting out
druggists permits. This was prob
ably 4 matter of conscience also.
Now. let us cite possible con-
dition and see how DIR. Dixon,
MAY behave and thwart the peo-
Piles orders on the whiskey side of
the question: This spring the
permit question is put squarely
up to the people beside the license
question. The Citizens conven-
tion did it. The republican con-
vention lodged everything. 1t is
practic ally conceded that if the
town remains in the dry column
the permits will also be voted out.
Suppose this occurs and DR.. Dix
on is installed as mayor. Will he
not bring his conscience to the
aid OF his drug store ideas and
over ride the will of the people as
freely on that question as he
would the will of the same people
had they expressed themselves
for a wet town. Those real, sin
cere Temperance people are re-
spectfully cited to the fact that
one violation of the will of the
people is as easy as the other and
also that the record of willingness
to evade is little more COM
pletely fixed in the case of per
mits than it is in the case of Ii
ccnse. The Doctor has proved
his fealty to the drug stores. He
has not yet refused to sign a IL
cense after being ordered to do
so. He has merely said he would
not.
For, on the other hand, what
temperance man will say that he
believes Jack Wakefield will not
do as the people say on this and
all other questions. He has no
convenient or inconvenient con-
scientious scruples against doing
his legal duty as he finds it out
lined in an expression of the peo-
plies will. Does any one doubt
his business ability1 Does any
one doubt his honesty or integ-
ritya Is there question regarding
his fealty to Paonia and her inst,.
tutionsr Is it not fact that he
has always favored the acquire.

ment of the utilities that now
make us fairly prosperous in spite
of the financial damage inflicted
by the refusal to grant license?
Is he not a splendid man to place
in charge of the operation of
those utilites2
City government is matter of
dollars and cents as a rule All
of US pay taxes and we should
favor a city government that has
both the willingness and ability
to make those taxes as light as
possible. Is there business
man in Paonia who would hire
DR.. Dixon 10 superintend our
utilities if he could get Jack
Wakefield for the same or a
higher price. assuming that the
utilities we're the personal prop
erty of an individual1
We should like to have every
voter consider this matter in the
quiet of his own home. There is
no question what the majority
verdict will be. but it rs a splen-
did political educator to have the
voters actually compare the fit
ness of candidates, just as they
compare the value of other hired
men.
We do not consider the dis
cussion of the ticket generally
as necessary. The clerkship was
settled as soon as the nominations
were filed. Clinton Oliver has
considerably more on his hands
now than he can attend to. What
with a Booster, a Fruit Grower,
a Horticultural secretaryship. a
real estate agency, an interest in
brass band, the chairmanship of
the reciprocal demurrage lobby
and the exclusive western agency
for a set of patent pruning shears,
he is as busy as cranberry
merchant and should not be
placed in position where his
great ability will be so seriously
subdivided. +. f Hufty needs
no recommend from us. He has
both the ability and the time to
devote to the heavy duties of the
position. He has the age and
the experience. The clerkship is
the most important Office in the
city and no mistake should or will
be made.
The candidates for treasurer
are both so we'll known that they
may be passed up with a word.
Both are competent and pleasant
to deal with. We are at loss to
see why we should change one
good one for another. Miss
Winifred Hammond has served
us faithfully and asks to succeed
herself. The faithful servant is
entitled to receive the reward of
continued employment to say the
least. If Mrs. Hawkins needed
the place, if there were honors
due her for past services in the
place we should say just As kind
words for her. We view it that
she was named for the place be-
