The tendency OF public sentiment in
the United States is to bring the Of
fees nearer and nearer to the masses
and political parties are not slow to
recognize the tendency. In kingly,
monarchial and aristocratic govern
ments the tendency is to concentrate
civil power in as few hands as pos
sible because thus they are more easily
controlled in the interest of those who
would exercise civil authority against
the public will. For the first time in
Howard county, and SO far as we
know in the state OF Iowa, the repub-
licans of this township in the nomina-
ton OF candidates for township offices
ignored the masses and 26 men chosen
to aid in nominating candidates tor
county offices, usurp the authority
and right of the people of the township
to name its candidates for township
office, as the only means by which a
Clique or ring could manipulate nomi-
nations. Through this means thew
were able to prevent the nomination
of M. M. Moon for Justice of the
Peace, man who in point of ability,
integrity and character, ranks among
the most efficient in the state. The
question for the people to decide is
whether this means shall deprive the
public of his services in that office.
