Three Safe Candidates

When you cast your vote next Saturday bear III
mind that you voting for good government. We
should be swayed BY no other consideration. We
should guard against Misrepresentation especially
the father of Misrepresentation misrepresentation.
which is never made in the interest OF good gov-
ernment
we have as candidates A. L. Moore cor mayor
and Wallace Button and II. H. Hotchkss f2r commits
sioners They were put in nomination by several Of
the leading business men of the city. Among those
men there must have been--it could not have been
otherwise-some whose personal interests were
flicting, for among them competitors in
business
But personal interest is not necessarily selfish
interest Whatever personal interests may have con-
ficted the business of finding candidates for the
primary, there common interest which over
shadowed them all and that good government.
These men were believed by the gentlemen who
selected them to be good representatives Of all who
wanted good government. They not hand
picked. Their names were put forward among
half score Of names OF prominent citizens who de-
clined TO serve. 1t has always difficult to get
men with important affairs of their to serve the
public and when at last Messrs. Moore. Button and
Hotchkiss couple Of days later consented to be-
come candidates there was congratulation on having

toward government.
At that meeting for the hunt for candidates the
questions Of politics and4reigion not raised or
thought of. No consideration given to anything
but the character Of the men who should become
candidates no issue Of any sort was raised
There we're there men with varying views to-
ward the present city management; some who be-
lieyed it should be changed and others who saw no
reason for q change. But that did not become an
issue for SO strong was the confidence Of the meet
ing in the candidates that those there felt that the
whole matter could be safely left in their hands 70 be
disposed Of when they had fully acquainted them
selves with conditions at the city hall. 81
Now il these men suggested this ticket after fun
delberation and with intimate acquaintance with
the candidates. can not too feel the same confi-
dence in theme Can we not more safely trust them
than we we can trust irresponsible men and women
whom you do not know and who are going about the
town spreading misrepresentation of the motives OF
these candidates and Of their intentions which have
not been announced and have not been formed.
A man who is not given to pre-judgment is al
ways a safer man than the man who commits him
self without knowledge or forethought.
