Show I Time To Be Doing. City Election Soon Here and Preparation Should Begin Be-gin Now. No sooner has our new city council assumad duty than its members are confronted with the task of providing provid-ing for the election to choose their successors in office. Early in the comiDg month registration of electors will begin and contracting for election elec-tion supplies will be at hand. Party conventions for nominating of candidates should not be put off too long if efficient officers are to be chosen. Chairmen of the respective party organizations cannot begin too soon now shaping theoampaign work. There haB been 3ome suggesting that party lines ought to be set aside at this election and only a citizens' ticket tick-et nominated. Whichever way is a-dopted a-dopted let deliberation be uppermost with a view of selecting a conservative council, because, with important improvements im-provements such as are contemplated, if ever Gunnison municipality needed wise guidauoe it is now, Gunnison as a town ia a thing of tbe past. Aa a city there is to be one member of the council elected to hold over. This is no small matter and should not be lost sight of in the selecting se-lecting of candidates, A public trust handed out for a term of four years cannot be placed too well. If a eitigens' ticket is intended let it not be forgotton that the only way to do it, and do it legally, is by petition pe-tition of not not less than fifty electors. elec-tors. And in view of our city bonding bond-ing it will be the part of wisdom to avoid legal defects at the onset, so that no technicality may arise in the way of securing when needed the meanH necessary for our waterworks being completed without delay. The new city officers have most of thacn qualified and will no doubt take immediate step3 toward perfecting auch measures as the town board had planned for bettering conditions as a municipality. They now have three months of official service before them and in that length of time oan do much of what is needed, eBpeoially for the establishing of waterworks. The people it is certain, eager to see it done, will be onlj too ready to lend the support needed. From now let the watchword be Onward for Gunnison Gun-nison city and Gunnison valley. |
