lave been elected and retained in office, when the first prompt
ings of intelligent choice should have demanded an opposite se- i
ection. The party whip prevailed, the big bosses begat small *
ones, the small bosses begat lesser satellites, the murky constel

marched to victory with an assurance born less o f f a i t h in theirj
inherent ability to serve the public than in their knowledge of 1
men and sheep.

In local politics, where the ability of the aspirant to admin
ister the duties of office is brot closely home to us, the choice !
resolves itself into a mere question of business ability and p e r-1
sonal integrity. The taxpayer who permits his party allegiance I
to dictate his choice of county officials is a poor business man.
He is spoiling his own pocket to bolster up a party system which
has little use for him save in his utility as a single vote. The
News believes that the Democratic ticket of Jackson county is
composed of thoroly reliable and competent men, well qualified
to fill the offices they seek. It believes that the business inter
ests of every voter in Jackson county demands a just appraisal
of their probable worth in county service. The day of party
politics in county affairs is p assin g -as it should. The split
ticket is the criterion of good sense and good business.
