AFTER man runs for little city office,
worries himself day and night, loses sleep
and rest, undergoes great mental and
physics strain, subjects himself to criticism
and harshness, engages IN hot tempered
disputes with those opposed to him, says
things wise and otherwise, makes number
of his old friends enemies, spends twice
the amount Of money in an effort to get
elected that he would receive as a salary
the question naturally arises where does
the profit come in? Surely it is better 70
be private citizen and tax payer, than
20 pay the price for office.
