A FOURTH TERM PROPOSITION.

1t is not surprising that there is
good deal OF feeling among the demo-
Gratis of the county over the nrnnosa1
of Mr.. O. NJ. Criswell's friends to in
sist upon his nomination for a fourth
term as recorder. For many years
there was bitter struggle in the
democratic party of the county for and
against the two term rule. The popu.
larity and strength of several of the
Office holders finally served to break
down the two term rule solemnly de-
clNred for ~ a democratic convention,
Up to this time, however, no one has
had the temerity to ask for more than
three terms. Even such popular men
as John Carey and Emil Kruger
-'o.,.oca &C., - cut whcn -
terms had expired. MIR. Criswell' has
made good officer, but no better than
Carey or Kruger or Lorenzen. He is
not popular with the rank and file of
democracy from whom he has always
held aloof. II election has always
been with the aid of republican votes.
It is possible that should he be nomi
mated he would again secure enough
rennhliran vnree Tn nnl him thrnuph
though it is question if even the re-
publicans who have formed the Girls
we'll habit would not feel that they had
voted for him often enough at the ex-
pcuso "a UAetr parry. Naturally CraW-
ford county is still democratic coun-
luy. While the republicans have been
making steady gains it would be un
warranted to claim the county because
Mr.. Cumrnias received q small plur-
ality last fall. 1t is not therefor
necessary that the democrats should
nomir ate man simply to pull republi-
can votes. They are strong enough to

are united and in harmony. The Re
VIEW has no personal feeling against
Mr.. Criswell and is willing to acknow-
ledge that he has been an efficient Of
ticer put it believes the democrats will
make a serious mistake if they now,
after abandoning the two term rule,
abandon the three term rule also. We
are moved to say this not for party
reasons but because we believe it for
the best interests of the county that an
office holding clique should not be
built up. We understand that James
McKim OF Deloit. A. A. F'ishel of Dow
City ana Dr. Fitzgerald OF Vail are al
ready in the field for this office. None
of these men are very strong candi-
dates and it is possible that Criswell
n av break tha rule and md his fourth
nomination. If so he may be elected
by republican votes but there is very
large number of democrats in the coun-
ty who will not vote for him
