i | 37 ‘ [TEDITORIAL.) It is assumed that all of the candidates to public office in the city sisction to be held tert have an- nounced themselves and that no others will enter the lists. The is well aware of the attitude of The Tribune. It has done, heretofore, what it deemed proper and fair to the taxpayers of the city to inform them of existing con They are bad, woefully bad. We wish a more cheerful ac- count could be laid before them. A deplorable municipal con- dition, a total lack of consMleration for the rights of tax- payers, a putrid police condition, a moral situation that shames every respectable and law-abiding citizen in the com- munity is exihibited; with the brazen underworld overrun- the city, bootleggers peddling their poison openly and dealers in rotten whisky disposing of their goods with im- punity. It has also been shown that brothels have been es- tablished in various parts of the ‘city, and that young girls have been lured to their ruin. Many more things in open de- fiance of law could have been shown but the record was shameful enough to arouse the decent people of the city to righteous indignation, without going into further sordid chap- ters of alleged wrong-doing. _ In it all the city administration has stodd helpless an hopeless. No hand has been raised to enforce the laws or eliminate the disgrace of the things of which complaint was made. The line of least resistance continued to be followed. Because of the absolute breakdown in executive direction tne city has largely run itself and the highly important de- partment of police has been a standing joke. The Tribune simply. performed its duty to the people by submitting to them the information. In the matter of select- ing candidates for public office, to supplant the present regime The Tribune k no part. Its prerogative did not extend to the picking of successors, That duty belongs to the people. When that has been accomplished The Tribune has a further duty, which it will not hesitate to perform, and that is to analyze the qualifications of the several candidates and render its judgment to those most deeply interested. The Tribune will not disparage, belittle or condemn any of the candidates. It will not be a mud-throwing campaign, so far as The Tribune is concerned. The public is not interested in private quarrels or disputes over little things. Neither does it care for slander, risrepresentation or backbiting. It is interested in the issue of more efficient city government and better moral conditions among the people. ‘i The Tribune, like all individuals, is bound to have a choice of servants applying to the people for the stewardship of public affairs and in its selection it has been guided, as all others should be guided, not by personal friendship for-can- didates but by the qualifications and fitness of candidates, to perform the duties before them. For mayor, we unhesitatingly endorse William A. Black- more. He has grown up with Casper and has kept step with her. He is a man of the highest integrity, with a fine concep- tion of the.rights of the people and a readiness to protect those rights. He is broad in view and fair in dealing. He is successful in his private affairs and his very name so syn- onymous with honor and wholesome decency. His private life and his neighborly transactions are as an open book in Casper for 4 ‘gram e.is.a man of vigor and action, desires“ fiothing but the “alivont /pos- seases that great American quality, backbone, that will en- force the right; =. - cul one 2 ea His husinéss experience fits him to direct the biggest bu: ness concern in er, which is the Casper city government. He is equal to is duty in all ts and his rugged hon- esty and purity of purpose and fa‘ to his fellow man are the tees that the duties will be well and efficiently |. ‘His faith in Casper is shown and justified in his, property interests and his property interests show the char- acter of the man and his quality of citizenship. These area few of the general reasons why The Tribune supports William ‘A. Blackmore for mayor and recommends him to the consid- eration of the people who are to select a’ chief executive on November 8. ‘ On the same ticket with Mr. Blackmore as candidates for members of council are E. M. Seaton, first ward; John G, Jones, second ward, and M. J. Foley, third. ward. f E. M. Seaton, who is foreman of the brick construction work at the Standard refinery; is a man of splendid knowl- edge of public works and his judgment will be valuable and a practical guide in all public construction. He is a mart of wide experience and is in every way worthy of public con- fidence. MrSeaton is a candidate for council in the first ward. John G. Jones, for member of the council in the second ward, is Ohio born, brought up to the real, estate business, has judgment of values, business qualifications, is wide-awake and efficient in his own business and is sure to require it in others, Mr. Jones is associated with Harry.
