Show POLITICAL acl the editor of the silina call seems much perturbed over the politic political icil 11 news gi en 13 13 ane aci er cr as to candi dates for diffrient county offices en cn the republican republic in ticket the editor of that tauer diner jumps to the ame conclusion that se several eral other not too bro brood d minded persons hive have q umed that the reaper ha hiag ing dell dad tied thit that it will be independent in politico politic 3 therefore it must biot mention that subject nor must it mention a candidate for any office the call editor is not as close a reader is one could wish for in an editor he says in ili the list issue of the piper paper thit that the reaper goe on to nominate james M 1 I peterson for theoffice the office of and makes it un animus for him had the editor taken the trouble to read the po political lineal news nenn s referred to he would v have seen that the friends of mr peterson and not the reaper had all the pretty things to say of him an attempt is made to draw the reaper into a discussion of the merits of representative Ee martin jensen this the call will aill not accomplish we have not tried to side sid traer track mr jonsen jensen jenin in but t we have failed to notice any announcement of mr jensen for the office again except for the nomination of mr jensen male made by the call calls Redi dedmond nond correspondent there has been no mo mention of his name another matter that seems to worry the call is ib the fact that the reaper in speaking of the office of representative said that not always had the 7 33 teen a mm man that mhd had the ability to look after the interests of the county and legislative acumen enough to see an advantage for the county and take it for the benefit of the call we will vall say that the present depre representative tentative was riot not alluded to not many bears 3 ears since a man name the editor of th call cal will not rare care to heat hear mentioned held the high office of representative from this county and if he did anything in the legislature except answer roll call and draw his salary no one in this vicinity ever heard of it these jre are the kind vf men the desires to side tracked As for the mention of mr christensen for county clerk that also was a piece of news handed to is ds by one of the friends of the young oung man mentioned and is none ot our creation we gave the candidates candidate 3 as they have been mentioned for places on the ticket no mention was made of salina as no one liis been seen who could say what hat that town was out for that salina will be heard from in the matter of the distribution of offices goes without saying and as soon as it is 18 made kno known n what the people of that town desire we will take the utmost pleasure in publishing it from now on till the county conventions vent ions are held there will be candidates suggested by aspirants for office or the friends of men who would make good officers and this paper is going to present them to its readers regardless of the growls from the call or from any other source we have repeated ly jy announced that it is the province of a paper to deal in political news as well ell as other news and we going to maintain that right if e believe that one candidate is than another for the inte interests of county we are going to say so ana anyone one who A ho has the idea that we be mum on vital issues we c have advice to give them forget it one other matter the correspondent of the call wants know how it comes about that paper supposedly independent in poli ties can dictate the nominees on republican ticket as the reaper doing we deny the il al say to the alligator that we ire are dictating nominees on the ticket or any arth arthir r old t ceet we are publishing political news and h hive aae that right it is that very ery independence pen dence in polities politics thit that bears us out in the assumption that we ie hive have the tha right to publish the mentioned for political icil off office were we a dirty airty org morgn in we e woud he be s fenced until the party its choice foi office then we ne would hac to boost for the nominees nomine s whether we nc thought them worthy of office or not As it is we will hive oui s si i regardless of party or pirth p irav whips we are inde pende it in politics and thet is why na 3 can occupy the poi tion we c do of menti mentioning n candidates candida teb without confuting con bonu hinr the file leaders of any pirth parta party organs can in not fight ini chine politics and nd an independent cin can fight them politics evis is the life of a community every part of our govern ment is political icil ind and therefore politics is the vital thing in civic life this notion that we e being independent in politics must be silent must be gotten rid of if the same party expediency ency obtains in this county that has in the past we e are going to expose the matter to the voters oters if any attempt is made to trade votes for one office to se secure cure votes lot for another office in i a counts count convention for party expediency we will lay the matter before the voters oters and let them decide whether that method is acceptable to them or nt t |
