THE LOCAL PROGRESSIyES,


1t is reported that the local wing OF
the progressive party is contemplating
placing ticket in the field at the nexc
municipal election. That they have e
legal right to DO Sc is beyond question:
but the wisdom OF such a move is ar
other matter. 1t would bring a return
OF conditions as concerns municipal
elections which Dubuquers who have
the welfare of the city at heart have
long been opposed to and would prob
ably result in campaign featured by
factional strife.
Just now there seems to be a feelin 3
that partisanship should not enter into
the next municipal campaign. That APP
pears to be the sp.ri: everywhere and
Dubuque should be no exception. While
no definite plans have been made as to
how a comparison ticket shall be
placed in the field. the question is be-
ing widely discussed and in due time
will undoubtedly take Form unless
obstacles such AZ progressive ticket
are placed in the way.
1t is no reflection on the progressives
TO say they can not hope to win by
placing a ticket in the field in the mu-
nicipal campaign. Tie democrats will
surely have a ticket in the held and
that ticket would undoubtedly win in
straight fight against republican
ticket. II party lines are drawn in
the next municipal, campaign the result
is easily forecastsdIAd we may expect
continuation of present municipal
conditions.
Of course if the progressives insist
on entering the campaign none will
question their right, but we can see
in such action only continuance CT
the present administration. On the
other hand If the members of the pro-
gressive party desire change from
the present government they can do
much towards bringing that about by
sacrificing their pride in behalf OF bet
ter government which can best be Sc
cured by the election OF men who are
measured by their fitness rather than
by their afhl!ation with any political
party.

A CHANCE FOR JOKING"
Huntington Hawk Eye.1

A Mason City man was married in a
long overcoat He had very little
underneath, as his friends had stolen
his wedding suit. Of course. that was
a joke. 1t would have been every bit
as good joke if he had gone before
the grand jury and had those fellows
indicted for grand larceny. They might
not have viewed 1t in that light. but It
would have been every bit as funny, as
the alleged Joke that they played on
the bridegroom. In fact, II the young
fellows who are getting married man
aged to work up a little more spunk.
they would not be harrassed by all
sorts of idiots. who believe that they
are practical tokers.

Why, they ask, should court de-

he has had his chance. We all re-
member how the cold and absorbed
man Of business saw his own happi-

Scrooge was that he had not given
