Again the time for the citizens of
Bluefield to exercise the right of
citizenship lias arrived, and it is tin
sacred duty of us all to exercise those
rights without fear or favor. To
vote for the best interest of our city,
morally, financially and intelectunl
ly; to look upon the election and its
results as a matter that affects your
home, for that is ail a city is- a
collection of homes. When you cast
your votes, cast them for the men
whom you think will he the safer
guardians of your city—your homes,
if, on either ticket there is a man in
whom you haven't confidence, in
whose hands you would not care to
trust your personal affairs, do not
vote, to entrust into his keeping af
fairs of your city—your collection of
homes.
Stand for an honest, clean elec
tion and see to it that your neighbor
stands for the same. If you have a
vote do not fail to cast it. If you
haven t a vote, work for the men in
whom you have .confidence.
The Good Government' party has
nominated a clean, pure and intelect
ual ticket; one that will be a credit
to the. city of Minefield and protect
Its every interest. Tf we did not
believe this we would not uphold
them, for we. place private honor
above party loyalty.
Above every thing 1 >t us have a
pure, clean city administration and
frown with scorn upon any attempt
to pollute the name of your city.
Mr. Good Citizen, you have no
higher duty than to exercise your
right of suffrage in th‘ interest o.
good, clean government. There, are
those who would pollute the ballot
box with the purchasable vote. There
is nothing so dangerous to our free
institutions as the element who
sell their votes for what the cor
rupt politician will pay. By this
process your rights are bartere !
away. Our officers should be el *ct
cd by the best and most intelligent
electorate Instead of those who are
In politics for what can be gotten
out of them. No more sacred right
was ever conferred upon a people
♦ han that of the suffrage, but It be
comes a most dangerous factor when
presented for selfish ends.

IIHVAS' IN lt.\Y STATE.
Host on, April 22.—Although there
are contents in only six of the.
twenty-five Boston wards at the
Democratic* caucuses today. It Is
evident from the Indications that
George Fred Williams and his wine?
of the Democracy will make a deter
mined attempt to capture the Demo
cratic State convention and send a
pledged delegation to Denver for
Bryan.
In a large majority of the wards
the candidates for delegates to the
State convention and to tin* fourteen
Congress district conventions arc* not
pledged to anyone, hut if is general
ly understood that they will he Tor
Hryan. Ward Sixteen is the only'
one in the city that Is even favorable
to the nomination of Governor John
son of Minnesota.
Similar conditions are reported
from other sections of the. state* and
it is likely that the Nebraskan will
secure «a large majority of the dele
gates from Massachusetts. The state
convention will be. held in Boston on
May 7.
