THE BRUNSWICK NEWS. VOLUME 1; NUMBER 230. WANT CONVENTION TO NOMINATE THE TICKET GOOD PLAN IS SUGGESTED — ♦ — MOVEMENT IS ON FOOT TO SE LECT THE MUNICIPAL CANDI DATES AT A MONSTER MASS MEETING. < IN THE INTEREST OF HARMONY AND IT IS CLAIMED THAT THE TAX PAYERS WILL HAVE A SHOW. A well defined is; on foot by certain business men in the city who favor the nomination of the net municipal ticket by a monster covention of tax payjrrs to be held in the auditorium. It is proposed that this meeting shall be open to all registered voters! and it is claimed by those" who favor the plan that it will serve to unite the peo ple and will do away with a warm political contest. A well known Brunswick business man was interviewed on the subject yesterday and said: "Referring to the approaching muni cipal campaign it seems the outlook Is that matters will narrow down to two candidates and the citizens will have no choice, but to vote for one or the other or not vote at all. Why not let us have a monster mass meeting at the auditorium and let all the registered voters of the city have an opportunity to name a candidate. Such a plan will give fair play to the voters ami fair play to tae candi date*. If the Auditorium is used there can he no packed meeting and a mass meeting of the registered voters shuts out no citizen entitled to a voice in our government. By this plan our people can all lie brought together and factionalism un kindied. A platform could he adopted and the candidate* placed on it. pledg ed to a definite policy instead of a secret club making platforms and Shaping policies t'n whole people would have an oppoi.unity to voice their sentiments and in advance put tne candidates upon notice as to what the people want. Such a mas* meet ing could do no harm and might do universal good. Let each candidate be put in nom ination before the convention and let the best man win—have no nominat ing committee to name candidates, but let your committee be a piaform committee to voice public sentiment as to what kind of administration is demanded for the next two years. The people can always be trustted to do the right thing if they only have a chance to do It —usually the politi- do not permit them the chance. What we need and what most cities need is more business and lea* poli tics. What better way. what quieter way, what safer way could the pol itics; be disposed of than by ail the people getting together one day and fixing the politics for two years? * THE BAY IRON WORKS.
