TWO POINTS ON THE PAST CAMPAIGN

NOW THAT the birthstone and the boiling floods of the
campaign have subsidized, it becomes easier to make com
mentS which would have gone utterly unnoticed a few weeks
ago It is unfortunate that politics take such a place in our life
here in St. Croix that bitterness has to flow from every quar-
ter. We fear that before long a campaign will become a life
and death struggle. 1t should not be of that nature. There is
a place for each and everyone in the life of his community,
and while the voters think that some particular individuals
may best serve in the Council, it does not in the least indicate
that those who do not make it cannot serve their commune
ties just as well in other capacities.
OFsCOURSE, the outstanding characteristic Of the last
campaign was its bitterness. Anxious to win, people forgot
that their neighborS were their equals, or even had feelings,
and SO everything was done to diScredit opponents in and out
of public life. While it is natural that excitement will run high,
yet we believe that because Of our size and other conditions,
it should be possible for us to conduct a campaign from which
the rest of the world could take example.
ANOTHER FEATURE Of the campaign was the dis
qualifying of one candidate whose presence it was felt reflect
ed discredit not only upon the other candidates but the cleo
remembered that while there is universal suffrage, those who
represent us and sit in high places determining the destiny of
this place should be men and women of integrity, and whose
sincerity Of purpose cannot be brushed aside. 1t is an example
which was well set, and credit is due to those who made sure
that our politics did not go down to its final, lowest step.
WE NOW look forward to the work of the new Council
Again there is a real challenge, as the members will be re-
election when 1852 rolls around. :
