A POWERFUL Z
How sn Eccentric Candidate Wa
Nominated and Elected

1 once knew Il lnuu WHO was
nominated by his fellow citizens
for a certain office and finally elect
ed without having expended a cent
for That purpose. He was very
eccentric, but he made a good of
fcer. When he heard that he was
nominated, he went up as he said,
into the mountains to do some as
sessmcnt work on two or three
claims.
He got lost and didn't get his
bearings until a day or two at err
election. Then he came into town
hungry, greasy ragged but unpledg-
cd.
lie found that he was elected,
and in answer to a telegram start
ed for Frisco to see a dying rela-
tive. lie did not get back until
the first of January. Then he
filed his bond and sailed into the
office lie fired several sedentary
deputies who had been in the place
tor twenty years just because they
were good workers" That is, be-
cause they were good workers at
the polls. They saved all their
energies for the campaign, and SO
they only had vitality enough left
to draw their salaries during the
balance of the two years.
This man raised the county scrip
from sixty to minety-tire cents in
less than two years, and still they
busted him in the next convention.
He was too eccentric. One dele
gate asked what in Sam Hill would
become Of the country if every
candidate should skin out during
the campaign and r~uSticate in the
mountains while the battle was be-
ing fought.

bsps the ahlest Commission that ever
