Show THE ELECTION IS UPON US. EVERYBODY has been so reticent about the approaching municipal election that we had positively lost sight of it altogether until the chairman of one of the local political parties handed hand-ed in his call for a primary yesterday. This brings us face to face with the problem of the choice of a mayor, three city councilmen, a city recorder and a city treasurer again? Who are we going to name? That is the question. Who shall it be? The present mayor has filled the position with dignity and ability, and we have heard no radical criticism either of his personal conduct or of his administration. But sometimes, particularly if the emoluments are very meagre, men feel that enough is as good as a feast, and will not consider a second or third term. Wo do not know what the feelings are of the present city officers. But one office is most assuredly vacant. That is the office of Recorder, as the incumbent recently started on a mission to EuVope. It would be well for every voter to run over in his own mind the available "timber" for filling the various vacancies, and in the mean time, if any citizen has aspirations to any of the offices, we will be pleased to publish his announcement in this regard. No use of being backward. You know the old addage about the faint heart. () |
