Show One of the duties of tho fentlemen today elected to tho legislature will be to iinact legislation making elections less frequent. Some would favor the coESdHd'.ii.u of a1! our elections into one to occur biennially , hut it is pro liable li-able that it would be more satisfactory to keep the municipal contests separate from the general elections. A plan should be agreed upon to elect all eounty and precinct officers and members mem-bers of the legislature at tha time of the congressional election. When the time shall come fur statehood, the election of district and state ollieers could be fixed for the same. time. We would thus have but one general election in two years. The election of city oflieers would aUo occur once in two years, and we would have but two campaigns where we now have four. Public policy has seemed to favor the separation separa-tion of the school elections from political polit-ical contests, nod these could be left as ihey bow are, but they do not involve ixhausting and expensive campaigns. |
