Let's Get Together NOW.

The articles that have appeared in
the SiftinssN- ews regarding the nomi-
nation of straight republican ticket
for the municipal election have met
with cordial approval from a large nun
ber of the voters and workers who
work solely for the good of
the party. Many of such have called
at the office to express their approval
of this brand of politics or have met
the writer on the streets to do SO. OF
course there are a few, and some of
them are those who pose AS leaders,
who say sit would be all right if it
can be done" AS long as men preface
such actions with doubtful "'if" just
so long will things remain undons.
| The way to do it is TO DO 1T. When
j ohm Sherman was harassed by the op-
ponents of specie payment and said
that if the resumption could be done
safely it would be all right. he swept
away these objections by saying 1.-THE
way to resume is to resume and it
was done Then there are those who
say it would be all right. ''if the rspub-
licans could get together. Perhaps
in the next breath they will explain
their way of getting together by stat
ing Il wont stand for this fellow or
that fellow" He must come to my
terms. This is a most jealous way of
looking at the matter and unworthy of
sound republieanism. The way to get
] 80 to q E'T TDC
the way to do this is by calling open
I caucuses. giving plenty of notices and
in conspicuous places, elect delegates
and then let the majority rule and sup
port its nominees. There is nothing in
| this but what is honorable. There il
nothing in this method of procedure that
cannot be supported by loyal republi-
cans, those who believe in fair caucus
and that majority should rule instead
of star chambers domination. Then
there are a few who say eve may be
defeated Well it is more honorable
to be defeated in standing up for your
principles than to be successful at their
sacrifice. This, at least. would be an
honest conclusion from loyal party fol-
lowers. 1t might not be good logic for
the politi cal parasite. Occasionally we
meet some who when they are with none
but republicans are very jealous in
in their party affiliations and their de-
nunciatiatons of those who are not
just as Jealous. When they get with
the opposition they lose their jealous
ness and say "well believe in support
ing the man regardless of the party"
You can never tell how such Jinglng
Jugglers will vote for if they will thus
compromise their party loyalty when
with the opposition they are liable to
vote to large extent with the opposi-
tion or else by playing fast and loose
with their party There are enough
republican voters in Isaho Springs to
elect ticket if those who are on the
''if" platform will get down to business
aud stand on will" platform. 1t is
the decided person who aecomplishes
the results and it is decided party
and united one that will accomplish a
successf ul municipal election. Elmi-
nate the ''if you -can-get- together or
''if-it-can- be done" and be positive
| character and the work will be done.
