A country newspaper is neces-

A country newspaper is neces-
sarilyspublished in town or city
Of suca limited population that
the publisher is invariably &C.
quainted with all Of its inh abitant..
and citizens, more or less intim-
ately, and while he is always ex.
pected to line up on one side or
the other on all questions, whether
political or otherwise, he must do
SO without any display Of un-
friendliness or ill-will to any part
Of the community. 1t is in these
| controversies between citizens of
the same community that the local
publisher finds himself freque ntly
in very embarrassing situations.
Such a condition has just develop
ed in our city over the coming
municipal election for Mayor and
Councilmen and none more than
the editor Of the BANNER regrets
to see it. In a recent issue of the
BANNER we endorsed the candi-
dacy of Mr.. Charles Lauve for
Mayor after it became certain that
the present mayor, Mr.. James A.
Peterman, would not consent to
succeed him self Not in our col.
umns. but in other ways, did we
pledge ourselves to support his
councilmanic ticket, which was
selected by nomination papers,
and is composed Df Messrs K. E.
O'Niell, Marvin Morris, Jacob
Anderson, w. 5. Berwick and j.
E. Loustalot.
We believed then as we do now
that these men were good and true
citizens, and with taught but the
best interests of the Community at
heart, we pledged them whatever
influence We possessed to secure
their election. We have not the
inclination to do so and it would |
not be the part of common dignity
to undergo a change Of front now
that an opposition ticket has been
put into the field. This new
ticket was launched last Saturday |
night at mass meeting and is
headed and composed as follows:
For Mayor. DR.. A. ]. Smith; For
Councilmen, James G. Fourmy,
r. w. Allen, ST., r. r. Cooke,
George Kramer and Louis Nc
Nulty.
Now in making our fight to
elect the men of our choice. wei
do not wish to be understood as !
intimatiag the least disparage-
ment of their opponents. AS a |
citizen OF the town of franklin,
we sincerely deprecate the stu
alton and would do anything that
would be fair and honorable to
bring all parties into one whole
harm onious camp.
Ia the matter Of election tickets,
the legal primary having been
disregarded, if our information is
correct, the Secretary of State will
furnish blank tickets to the voters
who will have to write the names of
their candidates, a source of much
confusion and Of considerable an
Doyance to the leading advocates
of each faction. While we can
and will, each one of US, do all
that is within our power to elect
the City Fathers of our choice, let
Us aot forget that, as citizens Of
he same community, We owe it
20 one another to be as forbear-
ng, as tolerant and as magnani-
nous as we can be for each others
under the circum.
stances.

Secretary Meyer Sees Pictures of
Battleship Practice.

A private view OF the moving pictures
of the last target practice of the Atlantic
fleet was given to Secretary Meyer and
a number of naval officers in one of the
rooms at the Navy Department last week
for the purpose Of determining whether
there is any objection to the exhibition
of the pictures in public. This is the
first time that any private concern has
been allowed TO take moving pictures

that the pictures might reveal work done
during battle practice which the depart
ment might not think 1t 10 wise to publish
