Of caution relative to the use of the
designation "Nonpartisan," which ap-
pears after the names of candidates

not be amiss at this time Some have
misunderstood the intent of the

people who become candidates for
county and legislative offices, which
includes senator and representative,
shall not be party candidates in the
strict sense of the word, although
they have personal beliefs relative to
the party ticket other than these of
ices. For this reason those candidates
are designated as Nonpartisan, that
is to say they are not candidates of
