The Second Term Idea.

The second term Is not at all force

one officer Is forbidden to succeed him
self-that's the sheriff
J, p. stiles was voted down by the peo-
pie fo- a second term for probate judge,
and everybody knows he made most
acceptable Official strong, wise and high
ly honorable.
b. A. Thompson, once Mayor of Bir-
fningham, was never asked to serve sec
ond term by the people. though he made
a useful and an honorable official.
David j. Fox's services were never de-
manded by party usages, and he was al
ways alert to the best interests OF the
city.
James A. Van Hose, who did his best
as Mayor, never thought of such thing
az asking popular endorsement or his
administration.
Frank V. Evans who succeeded him, and
who blazed the way for the protection
of the citys credit and advanced the pres
emf value Of taxation, and who also made
