Must Declare Patty. AMia
-. :. p
tion.

Every voter who intends t
participate in any primary e
lection must declare his party
affiliatiou, at the Tina he of
fers to register. HeucefortL
no voter will be permitted to
vote in any party primary e.
lection, unless he is duly reg
istered as affiliated with and
member of the party call
ing such primary election.
MAgwumps have cgitized
Severely this provision, Of the
law but the experience of the
last State primary election
demonstrated the fact that
the restriction is NECESSARY
TO prevent outsiders from par
ficipating in a party primary
election. Democrats have a.
right to hate. none bat Demo
Gratis to take part in their
party affairs just as Republi-
cans have the same right. tel
keep Democrats from medd.
ling in their party concerns,
and it is proper that both |
should be protected by law
in the possession and exercise
Of this right.
That is all that the law
seeks to do and does in re-
quiIing a voter to declare his
party afiiliat1on. He lis notI
hound to declare any affilia.
ton, but in that case he CAM
not participate i'll any party
primary election. This is
made perfectly clear by sec

No Municipal Primary
A Good Ticket before the
People.

! There will be no Democratic Num-
cipal primary election here this year
A primary election had been called
but when the time limit for candi.
ldates to enter the liat expired, it Wa,
found that only one Get Of candidate,
hal declared their. intention, and thes4
were duly pronounced the nominees
Of the Democratic party before The
approaching municipal election.
The Democratic ticket will there.
fore be tie following:
For favor: 2. j. Aucoln; 70,
Alderman: |. J. Dansereau; G. q
Dantin, D. E. Peltier. e. N. Roth and
L. e. Ca,lfouet; For Town Marshal:
R. j. Naqpin.
This We believe to be good ticket,
capable OF giving a good administra-
tlon OF public affairs for the mex, two
years.
Speaking of good administration,
it may not be inappropriate to observe
that the people themselves have ! GER
tain part t" play ia securing good
administration of their officers, bv
seconling the efforts Of their public
servants, encouraging and assisting
them ir the discharge of their duties.
This has not, perhaps, always been
done in the last. Some of Us have
been too prone to criticize and to]
damn everything and every. body,
when the world did not run according
to our notions. That is al; wrong,
and shonld be stopped.
Now Is the appropriate time to
turn a new leaf.
Our ticket has been nominated
without contest. We have been
spared an acrimonious family SQUAD
bic. Let US keep cool and all resolve
to give our moral support and en-
to the incoming admin
strat1nn; to second its efforts; to aid
It 10 every way possible, and await the |
result. II tt does not make good, we I
nay hvae to criticize its course, but
: we must, let our critlsm be always
empel.ate, just and fair.
