Wo give hjiiico this wook to ono
or moro communiontions froni
tho friends of tlio probable candi
dates for the ofTlco of Mayor of
LuGrango nt the next oloction.
Wo take pleasure in doing this,
and wo wish to any bore and now
that tin* oolumiiH of Thu Roportor
nro upon to tlioao gentlemen, and
any othora who may ontor tho
race lntor for either Mayor or
Conncilmon and thoir friends, for
the purpose of stating platforms,
discussion of issues, etc.
Tho Reporter lenrtiH that sever-
al vital issues am to become a
part of the oampi ign.
These nro issues that have a
rightful place therein, and are to
be settled, or should bo, by the
popular vote of the people who
are vitally interested.
There baa never boon a period
in tho history of LaGrange when
it. was more necessary that she
should have a mayor and council*
men who are fully awake to the
responsibility of tho ollloe; who
are broad minded and liberal in
their v'ews; who are public-spir
ited, in the broadest sense; and
who are good, conservative finan
ciers.
The time bus come when La-
Grange is going to take a step
forward. Tho length of the
strides, and t ho number of them,
will depend largely upon the man
who steers the “ship" as well as
upon bis co-laborers, the council-
men.
A close-listed, niggardly ad
ministration of alVairs would do
the town an irreparable amount
of harm, while on the other baud
an extravagant use of the peo
ple’s money would be hurtful.
Therefore we need broad minded,
conservative men, who can ad
vance the town in a steady march
toward tho city she is now evi
dently destined to become.
Much ground can bo gained, or
much lost, during the next few
years, and it behooves the people
to see that the right men are
placed m ollloe just, at this time.
RI.CORDI R’S C01IR1 Ni l 01D
It seems to us that LuGrango
lias reached the size whore it.
should have a Recorder, thereby
relieving the Mayor of the duty of
holding what is now termed the
Mayor's court.
There are several reasons why
this would bo best.
Jt. might be the case at Rome
time where a better man would
consent to enter the race for
Mayor if he were not confronted
with this unpleasant duty. Then
a Recorder, clothed with the au
thority of a judge, would be un
trammelled in the discharge of
his duty. The right man, there
fore, us Recorder, would be in po
sition to bring into the city treas
ury several times the amount of
his salary and the expenses of the
coirt.
It is evident that tho people do
not not. want any more mass-meet
ings to name a candidate for May
or. Neither is such a meeting
necessary to the naming of the
right men for councilman. Let.
the people say who shall represent
them in ihese positions of trust—
not. a few ring-lenders.
One of our correspondents says
this week: “Tho good roads sub
ject is alright. Wo wish they
would let us have more work and
less talk, but if they won’t work,
keep talking.” Our people in
the country know what it is to
need good roads.
