THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
fContributed.)

(Contributed.)
Editor Express have been told
that a number of people in Chiekasha
are wanting to know the opinion Of
your humble servant, the writer, as to
the municipal election, and have been
requested to express my opinion
through the columns Of the Express.
Now, do not suppose my opinion is
worth much, or will have very mucn
weight with anyone However, | take
my pen in hand in order to under
take to express that opinion to your
august readers" in few woras. IN
the words Of the Honorable Uriah
Heep, my umble opinion is" that
most folks are going to vote just as
they please in this election. What do
| mean by "iust as they Elease2"
mean if they want to, vote for a man,
they'll just yotef or him.
However, it's every mans privilege
and duty to vote for the best men.
Now by best men, we meaq the men
who will give us the best city govern
ment from both an economical and a
moral standpoint 1t is not for me to
say to you that these men ere Messrs
Sc and so. You, Mr. Voter, at least
many Of you, have been here longer
than l. You know the character of
the men who are running for these Of
fiees You know the men who have
i been in office, you know the men you
have a chance to put in, whether By
election or reelection. The only ques.
tion any man should ask himself, and
the only thing any man should con-
slider is this, Who Are the Best Men
We should take the several men,
ask who they are and what they stand
for and then vote as our conscience
tells US is best. | know there are
some men who let any little influence
that is brought to bear IT any little
self interest that might be held out In
fluence their vote. But this is not true
Of the majority Of voters. Life, home
community, protection from evil high
est patriotism, should be the thoughts
motives and influences in helping u:
TO determine how TO east sur ballot.
Take the several tickets and plac,
them side BY side, decide who are thl
best qualified and the most compe
tent to give us the best government
both economical and moral then vot,
according to your better dictates 0
conscience, and youSwill have dom
your full duty TO seh, home, countr.
