Our Political Plight.

The voters of Nashville find them
selves on the eve of what gives prom
ise of being one of the most vigorous
political campaigns ever waged in
this or any other city. Nashville is
about to enter upon new era OF city
government; namely, the Commission
Form of Government. The change is
fascinating. Every fellow who feels
that he has chance to win wants
to be one of the five who will make up
this first quintete, whose duty it will
b. to introduce the people of Nash.
Vile to this popular change. But
after all the matter will have to be
settled by the voters.
In making up the mind as to who
is the best man to trust with this in
Production, one thing above all should
be borne in mind, and that is, the meI
who are to introduce this new govern
ment should not be novices. Some
mistakes will be made, regardless o
who constitutes the official body; tina
is expected; but the thing the peopl,
should guard against is letting thei
sympathies get the better of thei
Judgment. Voting is matter of busi
ness; and friendship has no place il
the mind when the welfare of tn
city is at stake. The voters owe j
to themselves and their fellowmen t
vote, but to act wisely in doing SC
