Within the last few years a
great change has taken place in
the political life of this country.
Dirty methods committed by
politicians and popularized b y
party victories few years ago
are no longer accepted by the
great body o f intelligent citi-
zens. Like all permanent changes
this condition has come from a
persistent unrelenting appeal to
the conscience and intelligence
OF the people. The time was
when the purchase of legisla-
tlves bodies was passed without
much comment, when brides
were offered and accepted to
overthrow. the will of the people,
to advance personal political am
bition or to gain undue advan-
tage of a political rival-done
almost in the open aad passed
without serious criticism or pros
ecution. Gradually a change has
come through the persistent eff
fort of.sthe press and conscien-
tious publicsmen, and in every
part of.the country shady meth
DDS and men whose regulations
are not clean and clear are meet.
ing with the strongest resistance
in American political life. The
bride giver the bride taker,
the man whose living and repu-
tation do not reflect unrighteous-
ness must outwit his opponent
and deceive the people if he wins
in political contest. This con-
dition is not only in party con-
fiicts but is fast reaching the
pivotal point in selecting the
officials of the country after
party battles have been fought.
In fact, there is not single
reason why a bad man should be
placed in Office, why an incom-
petent shall have preferment.
Neither party has a monopoly on
intelligence or honesty. If a
man gives good service he must
enjoy the respect and confidence
of the, best class of people and
have their support. Nearly
every State has been more or less
engaged in eliminating the
CRATER, in demanding upright
men for official positions, in
municipal State and Federal posi-
tons and while much has already
been accomplished, yet the good
work is largely in its infancy.
The political parties are too close
ly allied to the common good to
warrant any man in the support
of an individual who would not
reflect honor on his constituents.
The Independent voter holds the
balance of power and fortunate
ly he is the man of intelligence
who sees his country before his
party, who does his duty at the
right time. The number is in
creasing and the demand for men
in-public life whose reputation is
untarnished is t h e strongest
stimulant Independent voting has
ever received.
