The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1918-08-02
EDITORIAL

The time is not far distant now when
it will not only be privilege but a
duty for every voter in Van Buren,
county to go to the polls and cast his
individual vote for the man of his
choice to officiate in the various
county Offices for the next two years.
There is a contest this year for all
the principal Offices except Prose-
cutting Attorney, in which the present
incumbent, Horace H. Adams will be
returned without opposition; County
Treasurer, in which l.. Harold Bolin-
ger will be unopposed in the Primary;
and Hayes Disbrow for Road Com
missioner who is also unopposed.
The True Northerner's editorial
policy is one of strict neutrality so
far as the contested officers are con-
cerned. The various candidates are
all known to practically every citizen
i'm the county, and it is the duty of
every voter to investigate carefully
the merits, qualifications, and claims
of all the aspirants for office, and
cast his vote for the man who in his
judgment will best serve the inter-
ests of the county and district.
That the electors of this community
and of the county may be fully ad-
vised as to the various candidates
who aspire to office, The True North
errer runs this week a full page of
political advertising, for those who
desire to avail themselves of the
publicity this opportunity provides.
Nearly all the candidates for the i'm
portant contested Offices are repre-
sented on the page (page two of this
issue), and we invite the careful
consideration Of the readers of The
True Northerner to the announce
ment of every candidate.
Primary day TUESDAY August 27)
will come in mighty busy time this
year, but every voter should bear
the date in mind and make arrange
ments to get to the polls and express
his preference for the men who are
to transact the official business of the
county for the next two years.
Unless the voters of every political
faith take enough interest in the
primary to assist in the nomination
of a ticket, the Primary law becomes
farce and travesty on justice. The
law should be amended so that vote
in the primary would be mandatory
for every voter. In the absence Of
such a provision of law however, let
every citizen do his duty.
The True Northerner takes con-
siderable pride in the presentation of
this page of political announcements
to its readers. All the candidates for
contested offices have been given an
opportunity to have space on the
page. If the matter has been over
looked by some, and there is any can
didate whose announcement does not
appear, there is still an opportunity
to be included for the remaining
issues prior to the Primary, if he
will let his wants be known.
