THE POLITICAL SITUATION IN WORCESTER
While the approach of any of election there
less political talk STILL far able to judge the po
a situation in Worcester does not unusual phase
and political fervor has not yet reached white heat
This county went through primary election
the candidates for of the offices making keen
It is always possible to out of such fight with
every candidate satisfied with the result and ready support
successful opponent However, have said before if
pirant for office is good sport and loyal party he will
allow the sharp edge of defeat to become dd disappointment
to lose its stng and to wear away with times
brasions
1t true that the distribution of Offices due consd
Grafton should be given all parts of the county This is pot
cal necessity Citizenship demands recognition we'll in dis
<ct another Office holding for some reason
attractive to thousands and there certain rights and priv
ege demanded of county holdings which, right
wrong, must be recognized.
While believe the feeling, that Cosons district not
given its share the ticket be elected this
fall resented certain extent just after the results became
also believe full understanding of just how Coston
was left out has been reached there will be less of injustice at
bued the and of such conditions and party 10y
atty will triumph over disappointed personal ambitions.
Voters connected either with political party
vote Independently If with party their adoption of that party
should be belief it's principals and they should work for those
principals through legally elected representatives.
citizen connects himself with party he generally
for the he has political principals and frequently he
votes for not for positive but solely for
tive is because he is not connected with party which
should be taught a lesson in party management.
However, canddate generally associated with party
with special ISSUE Democrats Republicans Socialists Pro-
hibtion Laboa have certain platforms upon they
stand before the people There also Fusion payat times
made of Democrats Republicans Independents what
whose only platform to ge the other fellow out of
office and let fellow m and let him stay long he
pleases"
To mind this is intelligent of the right suf
frage We can not hoy it appeal to good Democrat
good Republican, good Prohbonist other party
herent We do not believe the good democrats
y going to allow themselves to desert their party allegiance
for NoPary organization do any good repub
ally himself with that has, only ISSUE
the placing of in office whose election is dependent upon
ufragsts OF all sorts of political opinions and who
depended to administer his office except entirely
personal responsibility He not of the people; he is al
free agent held to accountability creation of peculiar
aon derect the great of and wtha
it seems to dangerous with whom to deal.
So at all for breaking of party
coming election There lots of good republicans swallow
with difficulty the ticket presented them this county
fall and feel they getting return for their the way
of good republican administration.
We fail to understand their support of party which
family tree is of mixed blood eeora principles and whose
candidates out for the office and to keep the office
We predict enthusiastic return party on Election
day for the democrats and the every candidate the
ticket
