"a slate for town officers, and the lead
ing question is, who shall take care of
our money the coming year? Who
shall be the Board of Supervisors
Who shall be Secretary of State for the
State of Bloomington? And who shall
hll the judicial department? Now, of
course, we have an abundance of good
material to fill each and everyone of The
offices alluded to, at least there does not
seem to be any lack of applicants for
each and all of the positions within the
gift OF the people of Bloomington. 1t
would be well to say that the great ma
jority OF our people are little concerned
about the officers. They are not us
much concerned rs those who want to
fill the respective offices are There is
quite sentiment in favor of letting the
present incumbents continue another
year; that or make new deal all
