THE DISAPPOINTED CANDIDATE
A great marty men who were candidates
in yesterday's primary an
feeling blue today. The results have
not been what they expected, certainly
net what they hoped for. Mosl
oi these men believed they were the
best fitted men in the race for the
particular office for which each was
a candidate, and the result causes
them to look with distrust on the primary.
Again, these men feel a keen distrust
in their fellow men. A great
many men caused them to believe
tViov wprp nhoiit, to be elected. A
great many men who did not vote foi
each candidate talked to that candidate
as if they expected to vote foi
him. Some openly promised and then
failed to keep the faith. In the disappointment
at losing out, these men
quite naturally feel that they have
been deceived.
If we would say a word to these
. men today, we would advise them tc
forget the campaign as soon as possible,
forget politics for all time, and
get a job of their own and go tc
work along other lines. Half the industry
which the candidates periodically
invest in politics employed ir
business would make of us all prosperous
citizens.
We believe that every man should
be a candidate once; if for no othei
reasons, to find out how polite he
can be. But after he has been a can>
didate and has been beaten h<
should realize that the country wil
run without him, and that he needn'1
worry about it, but had better pu
his thoughts on himself, his family
and his own business. There is noth
ing in politics anyway. A few men
peculiarly fitted for office-holding wil
always be found who will fill the of
fices from well to indifferently well
and the country will be better off ii
the number of those who want offic<
shall not increase. When a good mar
is in office and is filling it acceptablj
no other man should persuade himseli
to run for that particular office. Of
fice, you know, is a public trust anc
not a private snap to be gobbled uj
by anyone who happens to be able tc
get it.
But speaking of disappointed candidates,
our thoughts turn to the deai
women. Most men have been able tc
take defeat in elections heretofore
pretty well. It has come hard at times
but they have held their tongues,
looked pleasant and gone about
. their business. Occasionally we have
heard of a poor brother drowning his
sorrow in ardent spirits, a privilege
now denied all defeated candidates.
The question now is, or will be, will
the women be able to take defeat like
the men?
We have no doubt that if a woman
candidate in the next election
\
shall be defeated by a man she will
be able to get over it, though she
may think the man rather ungallant
for beating her. But what is going
to become of the woman who defeats
another woman for office?
How will they meet each other at
the Thursday afternoon's Bridge
Club? Will they greet each other
pleasantly at the Wednesday night's
prayer meeting? Will the defeated
female go down town the next day
o n aw crrwxj n 5* f tlin ViiiQ
band's expense and sfibw out in a
few days in "new vines" to let her
opponent see what she can do? Will
there be a new automobile, or
should we say limousine, in the family,
or what will happen? These arc
questions which cannot be answered
until the time comes, but in the
meantime the questions are puzzling.
We have been told that when the
women come to vote they will show
as all kinds of reforms and manj
('ther things. There will be a bettei
administration of* the laws everywhere,
and the old world will b(
dressed in brighter colors. But
what we want to know is, how are
the women going to face defeat by
each other? When we have seen this
we shall know whether woman suffrage
is a good think or not.
