AS for the would-be Treasurer, after
he had spent $500 to see his Picture on
Telegraph Poles and had bought Tick
cts to some eighty-five Social Hops, to
say nothing of what he had slipped the
Boss, he felt that if he did not land
in the County Building, the whole Fab
ric of the Government would begin to
unravel.
Under ordinary Conditions he was a
Chilly Proposition who failed to rec
ognize any one who did not wear
Tall Hat and belong to four or five
OluDS- BUT aIIer the lightning struck
him and he became the Peoples Choice,
he would tear across the Street to
shake Hands with all varieties of
Trash and ask them how everything
seemed to be going.
As a Rule they did not know what he
was driving at, for in an on Year the
Candidate who has made a powerful
Ante is the only Mortal who is dead
sure that there is going to be an Elec-
ton. The general run of the Public
was watching the price of Coal and
trying to guess the Football Scores, so
that when the Laboring Mans Friend
began his Canvass he was appalled, at
the General Apathy. The very Foun-
cations Of our blood-bought Institutions
were being undermined by the loath-
some Opposition and no one seemed to
care a Continental. When the Popular
Choice for County Treasurer appeared
at Hall to make an Address showing

be righted if only he could land as

place himself right with the frog

He was Modest Man, was the Cam
patgneT with the eighteen-inch Neck.
He did not ask to have his picture
on any Transparencies. When a cut
and-dried Programme was being pulled
off he never made any Speeches from
the Platform. If he had anything to
say he said it in a husky Whisper and
up an Alley. All of his Spouting was
done by Proxy. for he had on his Staff
several fourteen-karat Lawyers, each
of whom hoped to be States Attorney
some day when the Voters were not
looking.

Game was the one who picked out the
Candidate for County Treasurer. There

but when it came to a showdown at

Candidate From the first to the FAST
of his Campaigning, every. Voter he
met was with him and with him
Strong He could not find any one who
was in favor of the corrupt and mer-
cenary Antagonist. So he figured that
although the Vote would be light, he
would get about IS per cent of it.
The election was about as exciting as
a Quaker meeting. Now and then some
one sauntered up to Polling Place and
went back into the Pantry and marked
his Ballot and then dug out without
tipping anything off. 1t was useless to
hand out 81 Bills in the interest of
Good Government, because there was
no way of keeping Tab.

The story of his Christian name is inter.
