Show FOR A NON TI TICKET I 1 we are constrained to believe that the good people of willard wilard dill did the right t thins thing last week when they got together and placed in nomination a non don ticket to bo be voted upon at the coming election lor for the various city offices we cannot help but feet feel that small communities like most cities are even it if they contain hundreds ot of thousands of inhabitants stand in their own light when tile they become strongly stion gly partisan and insist on having several tickets iu in the held there is no good reason for such a condition and experience has taught the lesson that a interests are best served by officers who have been selected for their special fitness ind and worth regardless of their politics by this ie we do not mean that the two parti part esin lesin thi this s city could not fill every city office with a competent officer cert because the best men and the best beat women of th the e community belong to each party and that Is the very reason why only one ticket should bo be placed ja in nomination When two go good od nien men aro are pitted sa a each other it seems possible impossible to set get through the campaign without having baring eltho ei therone rone or the other maligned in some manner in an endeavor to bring about his defeat when anandi an indi vidual who has sometime or other in his life slipped just a littlebun litt little lebut but who has hilly recovered and atoned tor for the he mistake is placed ou on one ticket or tho theother other his weakness Is made capital ol of aad that sore spot into ino ind reopened reopen fd td and laid bare so that hat whit perhaps only a fewox his fellow men lk ic i c hinted with in connic tion aith ft ath liis bis lif birc 3 history a whole community becomes cognizant of and the poor roan man bo be he ever so 60 good has his standing ib the community injured just that much dut but aside from that there I 1 is no excuse for citizens of a city like brigham becoming partisan partis in in respect to city affairs most of 0 the inhabitants of this city are members of the dominant church in church affairs we never think of questioning a mans mani integrity but vote to sustain him time after time and his services might be required in half a dozen different organizations izat ions in the church but he rs nevar mistrusted or maligned and if he be at some timo time or other lias has gotten a little off as we say all that is lor forgiven given him and his usefulness is unimpaired but let tile the same individual aspire to some political position instantly objection is raised from the other party and the individual Is holdup held up to all manner of criticism while his weaknesses are cul enlarged arged upon and scattered to the four winds do you got tho the idea and yet apt that very condition is fostered through partisan politics in a small adall community like brigham Erig ham what a splendid thing it aou ld he be it tho thab two city conventions which will meet on ou saturday evening nea tri meet together and by judicious selection name a ticket that would contain the names ot of good men and women from both partie ij fl which could bo be submitted to the voters without further ado and wo we could all rest comfortably until election cay when the voters could go and cast their ballots ballot eor jor the nominees in order to make maho their election legal in our estima estimation tiou that would be the ideal way for a city like brigham to get at this mat terland and it can easily be done it all parties concerned will lay aside all and de determine terraine to tc meet nn ct ills his brother half way we aro are also of the opinion that candidates elected in such ft k manner mander would bo be subject to a greit great deal loss less critic criticism lam than those who laud in tile the ices under the presen present feroce dure it seems that there is that so stirs up a persons feelings like politics diesl unless it is religion but alic latter effects this community but little because of the fact that the majority of resi residents douts all belong to the same creeds creed but politics just cut tk to the deiy qu quick le with fmc people and aid the scars ma made do through battling in a campaign many times never ciu can ue be removed we are too much inclined to lose 1030 all reason forget our betwee frien friendships hips yea even a barrier between n us and our own losh flesh and blood aid abd for what simply because vc c ar too narrow aged to deal with the subject of politics 0 and so we say again pir polities politics aro are i not ot a good fhlug ag tor for asconi 4 coni like Bilg liam and we firmly believe that the growth of oc th the e ci city w will it never be as rapid is as it should be e until the citizens get their eyes open and can take each other oilier by ill tho hand and say coine let us reason together J |
