Show WHO IS TH CREATOR? There Is a grea' deal of specii'utlun going tho rounds ut to whom Is the real creator of i'io so-called non-par-tlt-an moemiii, and the Iltndilck son-Llndqulst et al ticket ) our midst. Some lay It to tho Roosters Club, but thin. Is unjust, beciuiho (tie club turned the cntlro matter, down, and absolutely refused 'o 'i ivo anything any-thing to do with It. Some Uy t t'j the present caudldute for mayor on tho non-partisan ticket, Dr. Hedge ! Thomas, nnd Joseph li. Cnrdou on nc-count nc-count of tho work thoy did tor thi 'hill during tho last session of the legislature. As to tho truth of this wo arc not prepared to say. Others clnlm that Mr. K. I'. iJacon, manager of the Tellurlde I'ower company's Into.1-ests Into.1-ests In this city, assisted by .Mr- . M- Harris nro responsible lor Its creation, anil that tho candidates on the ticket Just suit them to :i nicely, When asked tho motive theso people Just look wise will say 'you 11 see." As J.0 the truth of this we are also not p-cpared to shy, and wc must confess con-fess that wc do not see hy the manager of the Tellurldp Power Co., In this city should bo Interojttd to such nn extent, especially when the city lifts a plant of Its own. Rut why should It make any difference dif-ference who Is behind It. The plan In all wrong, and whatever Intel pretu-Hon pretu-Hon might ho placed on tho now law those so-called non-partlsnns aro fljlng In tho fact of the law. They prate about "other irepubllcaus who havo recolved tho requisite num her of signatures" and play them false at tho next turn of tho hand, from tho fnct that they have nn organization, or-ganization, with paid woi leers, behind their movement. Theirs Is not a move ment to gle the peoplo a chance lo elect whomsoever they please, but a movement, to elect them, and they ire responsible to nobody but themselves. them-selves. On the other hand the Repub-Ilea Repub-Ilea party represents the majority of the people of the city. In hwbs meeting meet-ing thoy nominated n ticket nnd adopted a platfornf. Tho RciMbllcan cnmlldates havo convlrtloiic,. and have expressed then. They "ill bo I responsible to the peoph nnd the Republican Re-publican party. It doe? not matter who Is the creator of tho new move irent. That is of smal! consequence as it will not llvo long 'I ho Republl can party is of soma ccnsenuenco and vill live long t nd serve tho people when tho new mt'cuo'it Is forgotten. forgot-ten. Hotter 'stand by the pai ty and vote for Its candidates. |
