Whllo declining to namo a ticket, for fear of running foul of tho editorial column dope, yot wo feel that wo cannot sidestep tho duty of suggesting a few prin ciples which will bo of guidance to thoso willing to glvo tho mattor serious thought, along tho lines sug gested. Tho first thing Is to bo euro to vote. If you haven't registered, don't let that deter you. Tho gen tlemen who havo flnnlly allowed their names to go on tho ticket, sluir ply because throngs of distressed friends wouldn't take no for an ans wer, uover do things by halves, and will seo that voting is mndo easy. Ono of them, at least, has mado that promise. Whon you enter tho polling placo, be sure to ask, In a cheerful "morn ing" voice, who Is paying tho most for votes. This Joko Is so pleasing that It has como to bo positively expected of a voter who is not cast ing his 'first vote, and hasn't got on to it, although many think to spring It tho first time. If you notlco oho or two gentle men who obscrvo you furtlvoly, but narrowly, and write something on n paper ns If they wero taking your namo and description, don't think anybody has sot dotcctlves on you. These persons aro political dope Btcrs, who aro trying to guess how you voted, and sotting It down, bo causo thoy simply can't wait lor tho final count. Thoy 'aro tho samb boys who know oxaetly how tho Eu ropean war Is coming out, hayo mado up tho American nil-star cloven weeks ago, and will at onco tear Into a package marked "Don't open till Christmas." lloforo leaving tho polls, don't ne glect to remark that tho clerks and Judges aro making thrco dollars protty easy. Tho Puritan Fathors learned this pIonBantry from tho aborigines and It Is entitled to pres ervation. In deciding whom to vote for, wo suggest that it 1b most dcslrablo you should solcct candidates wli aro In favor of strict economy, but will not opposo Improvements abso lutely needed for tho city's welfare. This Is a sort of an algebraic for mula that nobody has ever been alilo to flguro out exactly, but It Is tho pleco do resistance of ovory munic ipal candidate's platform, embellish od with whatovor other promises tho rnndldato may think popular, like a turkoy stuffed with dressing and garnished to taste. Iloth candidates for Mayor have promised to carry out this policy, and havo shown their fitness to da It, by taking such a firm stand whllo on tho City Council that thoy havo, In splto of all obstacles, kept tho tax rnto down to twenty mills. As (or tho Councllmanlc candidates, tho spread out too hutch or suggest expensive innovations. So Tho Hoostcr would counsel Its readers to bo extremely careful in their choice, ns much depends upon tho result of tho election nt this critical time in the city's history, when every ono is so keenly nllvo to tho peril In which wo stand that almost two hundred eager voters thronged tho polls at the recent primaries.
