outsiders. There are all kinds OF
public improvements which would be
for the betterment of the town, which
would render it more attr active to Wis
itors and more livable to citizens.
This is work which the citizens
should do through the various asso.
Citations of business men and citizens.
One effectual way to boost for q
town 10 to take q live interest in the
elections and in the men chosen for
public officers. There Is no better
advertisement for q town than to be
we'll governed. Usually the best men
OF the community are too busy to run
for Office, and the ordinary citizen
takes little interest in the election I'm.
til he goes to the polls, and then he
kicks because most of the candid ates
on all the tickets are unsatisfactory.
The very best men in the community
should be elected to fill the Offices.
Our local officers, the men who arc
to run the city and county govern.
ments, should be carefully selected by
their fellow men, meeting as citizens
and carefully considering who will be
the best men for the various positions
such important matters should not
be left to the choice Of political parties
which are apt to have greater interest
in what is best for the party than in
what is best for the city. There should
be no partisan politics in our local
elections. Men should be nomina ted
for city and county Offices, not because
they are good democrats or good re.
publicans or good socialists or good
labor men, but because they are good
citizens, and are considered by their
fellow men to be the very best men to
fill these positions. The matter Of the
selection of good men to run our local
aft airs should not be clouded by al.
legged national Issues or national or
state politics. There should not be
the slightest relation between party
politics and the manner OF choosing
u local administr alive officers, and
the nomination Of such officers should
not be left to the politicians.
Some day we will have learned this,
but At present we are still leaving the
selection Of the men who are to levy,
collect and expend our taxes to politi-
cal party chance. We have the free
ballot, but we are a good ways yet
from knowing how to use it. So, un.
der the circumstances, it only remains
for us to do u utmost to bring about
the nomination of the best possible
men in all parties and then try to
elect the best men, whatever their
party might he. II is not so impor.
tant whether they be democrats or re.
publicans, but it is exceedingly i'm.
portant that they be men of integrity
and progressiveness and Of common
sense.
