WHAT BISMARCK CANNOT AT
FORD TO DO.

1t is very evident that the bust
ness men-the substantial citizens
in all calling intend to encourage
by their votes and by their acts, a
clean municipal election and a re-
suit that will dispel all fear Of POI
gitical and moral retrogression in
the capital city. " .5
1t is not a question of men-it
is question of principle. f
These are some of the things that
"a community cannot afford to do, no
matter what the personal likes and
dislikes Of individuals may be.
/ Such a condition now exists in
Bismarck. .ss
1t matters not who may have
signed this or that petition for
petitions are usually meaningless
anyhow-it is not reasonable to sup
pose that there has been or is now
a demand, or an earnest, honest re-
quest for Mr.. Patterson for mayor.
Mr.. Patterson seeks the office
not the office the man. He is now
member of the board of county
mmissioners. He has power
enough now. To extend it to place
him at the head of the city admin
istration would be a most eyre
grious blunder Opposed though he
may be by a candidate. who while
honest and upright, is lacking in the
element Of personal popularity, 1t
must be evident to the majority OF
thinking men that under the cir
cuInstances that exist and the far
reaching consequences of the result
of this campaign. Bismarck cannot
afford to herald to the world that
the chief-the king bee of the law
defying element Of years and years
in this community the idol OF
the good people Of this city.
II would indicate a 4 bunting OF
public conscience, an abandonment
|of civic integrity, a lack Of govern
mental pride, Of honesty of purpose
- laost cowardly surrender to a
Gu ming knave.
Stripped Of all personal objec-
tons, all consideration of moral 1T
ness, as business proposition
Bismarck cannot afford to take this
backward step.

lows night Bismarck win rue the
day she did it.

is charged that the time.honored and
usual bank fight issue enters some

OF these, probably the most important
was the new Oil inspection bill, which
was said to be designed to letin Kan
sas and western oils, but which the
governor found Objectionable because
of provision for different co1ors of
gasoline. There will therefore be
about $50 new laws on the statute
books, and this number ought to fur
nish food for the contempt Of lay
men and fodder for the attorney, who
perhaps thrives best in stirring days
of legislation.
