Crocker, but who the people of the
north end want in lis place >we do
not know. The duties are very inn
portant and the best men should be
selected.
f. ID. Strong will perhaps have no
opposition for the Treasurership. al
though it is suggested that as this is
pretty good paving office it should
be passed around. There are plenty
of good men, good accountants and
good penmen, who would creditably
fill the position.
V. A. Gilmore, J. S. Leach and A,
L.. Mower are mentioned for Overseer
OF the Poor, aside from the present
incumbent. Mr.. Lanpher is a good
Overseer and his equal in this capac.
ity will be hard to fnd. -.,..--..
For Collector and First Constable
S. b. Waite will, if he wants it again,
be given the place. Should he de.
cline it is suggested that Sheriff
Stevens would be good man. For
Second Constable l.. p. Butts will
probably be his own successor.
For members of the Board of School
Directors Geo. B. Allen, whose term
expires, will doubtless be given a re-
election. With the board made up
OF Messrs Hulhurd, Doty and Allen,
the school interests of the town are
well looked after. .--
For Road Commissioner there is
some opposition to Sias Whitcomb.
AS far as we can learn he has been
faithful, has kept the roads in good
shape and has worked for the best in
terests of the town. There are those,
however, who think there should be
a change and who criticize Mr.. WIS
work, and they urge W. C. Maxfeld
c: M. Gray or E. V. Lilley for the
place.
We might go on through the list
and enumerate the entire lot of offices,
but time and space forbid. There
are hosts of good men throughout
town whose names we have not men
toned that would fill any of these
positions honorably. We have SIM
ply mentioned a few that have been
suggested to US, and we might fill up
a column with just as good names as
these. Let the people confer and
make the best and wisest selections.
Do not be governed by any clique"
or "ring," but do what is best for
the town. ....- -.
1t is the duty of every citizen to
attend town meeting, to secure as
soon as possible a copy of the Town
!. Report and look it over closely and
thoroughly before coming to the
meeting, and if there ere any exor-
bitant charges for sGfVtees, OF the re-"
port of any officer is not fully
understood, enquire about it at the
meeting before he is reelected. There
is no use of the town expending
money for reports if they are not
consulted: that is what they are for
and We urge every taxpayer to secure
one and scrutinize it closely. Put the
best men possible in office and do not
vote for anybody simply because he
is your friend or a good fellow. Se-
lect men with good business tact and
let the town affairs be run prudently
and as economically as possible.
Another thing; give the young
men a show. Encourage them to
take an interest in all matters of To-
cal government by recognizing their
worth and ability. There is nothing
that discourages a young man more
and causes him to lose interest in
town affairs quicker than continually
Ignoring him and keeping the "old
FOUNDERS" " In Office. Put the young
men in the front and we will guar
antee they will administer official du-
