Fair Election

Famous quotes containing the words fair and/or election:

    As she walked by the sea;
    But a noble knight was her ransom soon,
    Wi’ gowd and white monie.”
    —Unknown. Fair Annie (l. 1–4)

    “Well, I am chiefly interested in the renomination, so don’t get disconsolate over that. If we lost the election I shall feel that the party is rejected, whereas if I fail to secure the renomination it will be a personal defeat.”
