One week from next Monday the
voters of Ralston will elect city offl-1
cers. There are two tickets, or rath-!
er parts of tickets In the race We!
understand that two or three who j
wire nominated on the first ticket in j
the open convention, have suffered .
their names to be placed on the peti-
tion ticket. Of course this was done ,
to strengthen the latter ticket in
hope*, of defeating candidates on the
first named ticket. The scheme is
on ti rely too transparent and the vo-
ters will stand by the open conven-
tion if there is but one candidate left'
in the ticket. The Exponent favors |
harmony first, last and all the time,
.tnd was In hopes that the first ticket j
nominated would meet the approval |
of all concerned. The object of an open 1
convention Is to determine the wish-;
os of the people, and we are always
willing to take our medicine and let;
the majority rule. The making of the i
lirst ticket was not altogether to our \
liking, but we propose to support it
all the same.
We don't approve of the action of
those candidates who pulled oIT the
lirst ticket and suffered their names'
to be placed on the second, and if
their election depended on our vote
they would sure be defeated.
The whole truth of the matter is.
had Deskeet been defeated at thf con-,
vent ion, there never would have been j
auother ticket brought out.
