1T sounds rather strange to
hear the idea advanced that GER
tain city officers should be turn
ed down because they had held a
position so long and lived off of
the town long enough and then
hear the same fellow say that of
course certain other city employees
should have kept their positions
because they had been in the
place so long and knew ali about
the work. We will believe that
they are really sincere in turning
a man down because he has been
in a position so long when a clean
sweep is made and all are turned
out that have been in a long time.

turned down to keep the present
state officers in, there is going
to be a howl, and quite a crowd
will be with the howlers.
