Show : The Logan Election. iv, Tlicrc arc none who arc not glad t ;, is all over. Ilotli Democrats and Re- '?!,. bublicans put up as strong light as ' ". ' . possible, and the Socialists, while not ' &- hoping to elect any of their men, ? ,- worked hard to make a good showing , 'jj' ' TIic Republicans weic generally suc- .' jt ecssful and considering the odds H L . v against them have exceptional reason I L for rejoicing. However, the" Dcmo- ( ft' ' crats gained two councllnien, City Attorney and .lustlce of the Peace,' .jf' and while they probably expected ( E more, made suillclcnt gains to furnish R . r cause for jubilation In their camp. j'' If they are so constituted that they jfr- can't rejoice over half a loaf, when ;' ft' they couldn't get a wholeonc they're u , fr chronic Het. The Socialists made an r' excellent showing ill votes for .Jos. Jy C. Jensen candidate for marshal and 100 votes for Alexander Lewis for I " mayor. The entire vote in either i Instance mentioned can not he count- I i ed as fairly representative of the Soc- 1 ialist strength, for the reason that , h each of these men drew largely on 'iT their Immediate friends who are not ' : !' ' Socialists In any sense. However, r their, showing Is far better than either s ' parf-y before election gave them credit V, x for; and they too, should be pleased. !lMj K. - All In all, It seems that there Is ' p suillclcnt ground for rejoicing on the i. $5 part of all. The whole, people should .' ' ',i rejoice that the party of progress and f " piosperlty is in power, the Rcflubll- cans should rcjolcu that they lost no more that they did; -the Democrats may feel good over their gains: and the Socialists should make merry bc- cause they find they aro stronger than ' they really thought they were. All i is brightness and sunshine rather I' than gloom and despondency, and the g .. thing now Is for the elected otllclals if ' to bide the time between now and .f January and then go in determined E ' ' t0 tuakc the most of their oppor- r t tunltles. They are the represcnta-R represcnta-R tles of the whole people, and we have If ' no doubt but that they will serve the H whole, people to the best of their advantage. |
