They forever declared their freedom from boss rule and ring domina "tion. total wiping out of all things that even reminded them of the past. | The annihilation of United States senators, whose sole claim to office was the possession of enormous wealth, was one of the objects sought by the people. The passing of all officials whose incumbency of office was the result of machine politics was another thing aimed at, The emancipation of the people from grafters and professional politicians made the law a desir able thing. Today the power to accomplish these things is vested in the whole people, and they will do well to see that the power is exercised without fear or favor. Today, with the power in hand, the people must not be swerved from the execution of the pow- er by specious arguments or by false sentiments of kindness. The only way to reap the full reward due to the people is| Jo relegate to private life all who have been identified with the} political systems of the past. Few have held high political of fice under the old regime upon whom there was not somewhere either in sight or out of it, the stamp of ring politics. If by thance there was one high official who was unmarked, it was purely a mistake or that official obtained his office by misin- forming the powers that granted to him the nomination } Partisan newspapers advocating the nomination of men for office who have served the old order of things appeal to the} people on the strength of the records made by their candidates | Search these records, and search the reasons for the advocacy | of the candidates. Records that on their faces look clean il! be found to be tainted, if we apply the microscope to them. | The advocacy of some newspapers will be found to have been inspired by considerations the people will do well to criticise. If the people would do their full duty, they will drop the curtain on the past. They will wipe the slate clean and com-| mence anew their political history. They will begin the exer-| cise of their restored power by eliminating, with few excep tions, every man who has held office under the old order of! things and putting into office a set of men who have not been! . identified with bosses, great or small, or rings, big or little. Let us begin by electing Cosgrove for governor, and then) go all the way down until we have reached the most insignifi- cant of the county offices. Clear out the office of county com- missioners and defeat the “ring” men who are attempting to} secure the offices of sheriff and county auditor. It is the first opportunity we have had to claim and scure our rights. Let us take full advantage thereof. j AN EXPRESSION OF SYMPATHY | The Star desires to express its sympathy with the readers | of the Times and the Post-Intelligencer.
