FOR CHRONIC OFFICE SEEKERS

II there is anything that makes cit
izen tired it is TO hear some one say
of an Office seeker: He has talked and
worked for the party. He ought to haYe
something. He needs it." OF course
he needs it, says an exchange; every
body needs all he can get but is he
competent? Has he been straight and
square? Or is he crooked and tricky?
May the best man always win. No
political party owes any man in it any
thing. Il men stay in a party for pelf
they ought to be defeated every time
they ask for Office. Men shonld vote
and work for party because they be-
ieve it is the best party. The party
hangers on--the fellows who are always
edging up to the pie counter can be
spared il office is all that ties them to
their party If they haYe no sense of
decency-if they never learn to quit
aspiring for place they do their party
more harm than good. They are q
source of weakness and trouble. Every
political party has ignored more worthy
men and fed and bolstered up more I'M
worthy ones than it ought to. It is al
ways wise TO recognize the most de-
serving and turn aside from the place
hunters Their methods have often
been crying disgrace and defeat is
better than success with their help.

VIII Leave Manning.

That Attorney Il. II. Boylan is soon to
leave Manning, is not in keeping with
the wishes Of his many friends here, A
few days ago Mr.. Boylan made part
nership with Attorney John II. Mosier,
of Audubon, which will be in vogue on
aud after April l, 1900. At this period
Mr.. Boylan will close his office here and
go to Audubon. Mr.. Mosier, AS is we'll
known, 10 one OF the leading attorneys
OF Western Iowa, having inter state
clientsge. Few men are better read IL
law than is Mr.. Boylan, and the ne>
partnership cannot help but prove !
strong one, Thos Boyan came to Man
ming in 1893, when he entered the office
Of the supreme court reporter, Hon. b.
l. Sallinger. In 1897 Mr.. Sallinger
moved to Carroll and Mr.. Boylan sue
ceeded him here in the law business. A
no more coGgenial, we'll met fellow ever
lived in Manning than Mr.. Boylan, and
his departure will not meet the approval
Of his old friends here Manning Moni-
tor.
Mr.. Boylan is quite we'll known here
and his coming will be welcomed. He
and MraMosier will make strong law
firm. Mr.. Mosier has been working very
hard Of late to keepup with his business,
and his partn or will be Of much help to

Town Caucus.

The following ticket was nominated by
the citizens caucus last night; For
mayor, II. w. Hanna; trustees, Eugene
johnson, w. II. O'Connell; clerk, ID. l..
Freeman; treasurer, Fred VermiIya,
assessor, Geo. Ellis.
Mayor Hanna called the caucus to
order and e. b. Cousins was called to
the chair and d. l.. Freeman made
secretary. A motion passed that the
nomination be by ballot and the first
ballot for mayor formal. This was re-
considered and made to be informal.
Tellers appointed were A. F. Drake,
w. @. Elliott, Pat Carolan and John
Ward. The informal ballot for mayor
gave H. w. Hanna rs, Fred Blume IT,
Z. B. Cousins 8, S. A. Graham 7, and a
number scattering. Mr.. Hanna was
then made the nominee by motion.
For trustees an informal ballot gave
the following result: Eugene Johnson
81, w. II. O'Connell 40, Chas. Tramp H.,
Chas. Van Gorder 10, Mat johnson 10,
and number scattering. BY motion
Messrs johnson and O'Connell were
made the nominees.
ID. L. Freeman, Fred Vermilya and
George Ellis were nominated for clerk
treasurer and assessor respectively, by
reclamation.
The ticket is good ones and will
doubtless be elected. The administra-
ton OF town affairs is difficult thing
and the remuneration is light. Those
who give good service deserve the sup
port OF the community. Mr.. Hanna has
been mayor long time and although he
has been considerably criticised at times
yet altogether it must be admitted he
has rendered good service.
