Show TIlE LIBERAL OUTLOOK The confidence or what they would have us to believe such with which some of the Liberals express themselves regarding the coming city election is amusing in some cases disgusting in others just in accordance accord-ance with how such expressions are made and who it is that makes them When questioned closely as to the basis of their expressions they invariably fall back upon the result of the recent election here for county and territorial officers when thc fficiiiI 1 count showed that that party had polled about two score votes more than the People did This really signifies nothing noth-ing A great many voted the Liberal ticket on the 5th instant who will not do so in the municipalelectiou for the reason that voting vot-ing for it then did not involve a change of hands here The Liberals assert and we are willing to admit that some of the younger element in the Peoples party voted the Liberal ticket at the late election Perhaps the total number of those thus voting amounted to about the majority for the latter party in the city It is a safe venture to say that their action will not be repeated when it becomes a question of whether they shall put the opposition in power or not Their little irregularity did not greatly change matters then and they know beforehand tliLt it would not in February it would be different and they will act differently Furthermore we believe the little majority major-ity which the Liberals obtained on the 5th will prove a boomerang to them even in their own ranks THE HCUVLO docs not believe that many of the Liberals who voted their own ticket are anxious for a change in the municipal control here and realizing that by voting with their party they may effect that very thing they will quietly not do it There is nothing to be gained and much to be risked by such an experiment and men who have property and are engaged business not as a rule like to speculate on politics when by letting let-ting thingsremain as they are they have at least a sure thing on matters not being worse than they are TIII HEKALD does not believe that the Liberal outlook is verypromising |
