MAKING IT UNANIMOUS.


 Eliminate strife, forget party differences, broaden out from the narrow ruts of the past, place the administration of Bisbee business in the hands of men who have sue cessfully manipulated their own business, work for the welfare of the nation in the same harmonious attitude taken by Presi- dent Wilson, congress and the leaders of the democratic and republican parties these suggestions from citizens of Bisbee favor ing the election of non-partisan city gov ernment and a harmonious, cooperative campaign, have brought home to residents of Bisbee the importance of patriotic action at this time But one suggestion has been made which deserves even more than pass ing consideration.
 E. E. Nyland, well known business man and resident of Bisbee for several years, has struck the keynote of the situa- ton. We should get away from the old political strife and put into office men who will work for the city. he declares. We should get together to make their election as near unanimous as possible. This will assure the men elected that the citizens have confidence in them, and that they will be supported in their administration by the population of the city
 Make the expression unanimousl The entire situation is summed up in this one expression. Patriotism, efficiency, busi- ness administration, elimination of party differences and strife, cooperation with the president, congress and democratic and re- publican leaders-all this will be accom- plished if the expression of the will of Bis bees electorate is made unanimous. All factions united, all differences of the past forgotten, everyone working to common end and the public welfare, let us remem- Der that unanimity inspires confidence, and that we'll supported city government will accomplish greater feats than half heart edly endorsed administration.
 It IS to be expected that some opposition will be expressed It is impossible that there should be no dissenting voice in city cleo ton for majority IS never without minor ity in affairs of this character A dis gruntled minority here may attempt to go contrary to the non-partisan attitude as- sumed by President Wilson, congress and the leaders of both principal parties, and, cloalling their inconsistency under the man. tel of Woodrow Wilson club place part isan ticket in the field As matter of fact, the non-partisan ticket is pledged to the same course of unanimity followed by the president, and launching of second ticket on this basis seems superfluous. The re- suit will be that well-intentioned persons will socn distinguish between the real Will son party and the disgruntled minority, and that the non-partisans will receive the sup port of Bisbees majority, making the cleo ton business, patriotic and proven city government very much unanimous
 Representative miners, business men and women of Bisbee have already expressed themselves in favor of the non-partisan ticket. They have called attention public ly to the benefits which will accrue from rlacing in office men of the stamp and in- tegrity of those named for this ticket They will now seek to assist in bringing about their election-not by a mere suffici- ency of votes, but by so supenduous majority that those elected will know Bis bee citizens are unanimous for the many advantages which will accrue through the efforts of proven business men, working for the common welfare of Bisbee and Bis bee citizens.
