MIR. DURHAM FOR MAYOR
LEditorial)

(EditoriaD
The voting public of Casper has a choice from a list of four
leading candidates for mayor of the city at the election to be
held on Tuesday. November 9th. All of them, we believe, are
fairly well known TO the people. In the order in which they
declared their candidacy they are Harry r. Durham, John S.
Pettingil, S. X. 10y and j. f. oDonnel.
Mr.. Durham is an attorney at law and business man, Mr.
Pettingnl is a tailor, Mr.. 10y is n chemist and Mr.. oDonnell
is a Psychologist.
Casper is "A city of somewhere near thirtyfive thousand
people. A city that grew rapidly TO its present Dimensions
and therefore has many needs and requirements in a public
way that are yet to be satisfied. Many of the taxpayers from
whom the money has come to pay for public improvements are
of the firm opinion that we have not only Travelled too fast and
placed too heavy a burden upon the people; but have received
an insufficiency in both quantity and quality for the money ex
pended. No reflections are cast upon wellmeaning officials of
the past. No doubt they have done their duty to the best of
their ability. Possibly the voters of the past have not looked
with sufficient care into the ability, fitness and proved eff
cheney of officials chosen to transact their public business.
They now have an opportunity to profit by experience and rec
tiy any errors of the past, by the selection of a mayor and
three members of council who will control the next administra-
tion.
If there is application of the same principles to public
action that guide voters in private action, namely, the hiring
of the most competent person to do a given job of work or rem
der the most acceptable service for the wages paid then the ma
jorhy will think and act along pretty much the same line.
In the selection of men to perform public duties they should
