All the vacancy caused by the resignation
of Postmaster A. S. Hazelton was launched
into the political arena yesterday with con-
siderable force and enthusiasm. Mr. Han

Gil Bluffs for several months. Under these
circumstances he positively declined to be
a candidate for the ONCE Of mayor much to
the regret Of his friends.
In seeking this nomination for state SEN
ator at this time Mr.. Hannah admits openly
that he does so with the expectancy IL nomi-
mated and elected, Of obtaining the nomi-
nation again in 1908.
The other candidates for the nomination
are Colonel C. G. Saunders and W. S,
Baird, both OF this city. The former is
making a vigorous campaign and since the
announcement Of the call for the meeting
OF the county central committee was made
Monday afternoon has left no stone I'M
turned to secure the desired plum. On the
other hand Attorney Baird. while willing
and anxious to get the nomination. is now
said to favor the candidacy OF Mr.. Hannah
and that in the event OF a close vote in
the committee meeting he Will throw his
strength to Mr.. Hannah.
TIL committee will meet this afternoon
at o'clock in republican headquarters in
the Baldwin block to select a candidate
Mr., Hannah had been called to Detroit last
evening by business matters, but deferred

70 the Editor OF The Evening Star:

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
The reasons given by some government
employees for not voting make me tired.
In my opinion every citizen of a state
should so prize his privilege of voting as
to be willing to undergo the little sacrifice,
If it may be SO termed, of time and money
necessary to keep in touch with homo
politics. To be sure. in some cases. as in
New York state. voters are put to needless
trouble and expense when Obliged to &C
home to register as well as to vote, and
such have a genuine grievance. But in
other cases 1t Is not so, tho state of Coz
necticut, for instance, as names Of those
known to be voters in government employ
are transferred from an old list to the new
one without requiring the presence of the
voter. Why cannot this be done in ali
cases? 1t seems that this would be but
just to voters here. However. aside from
this. every citizen should possess patriot
ism enough. regard enough for his high
privilege of voting. and interest enough in
his state to take pride In being able to say
