The candidate is a lowiy and In.
gratiating individual who earns Iiv.
Ing by running for some Office and
putting the skids under the present In
cumbent. He is always fired with
zeal during primary election and is
frequently fired with a loud report a
few months later, with the aid OF the,
Australian ballot. AS soon as a man
becomes a candidate for anything,
from Justice of the peace up, the
neighbors pull out few tablets OF
memory and begin to remind each 9th.

mulct petition and chewed the decep-

gress and he will be pursued from one
end Of the. district to another by out.
lawed shoe bills and the still, small
voice OF the chattel mortgage. The
candidate Is the original and unspoiled
optimist. He is never disturbed by
anything except the election returns,
and flutters about among an unpur-
chasable citizenship accompanied by
pale cigars and the clarion voice of re.
form. Some candidates never know
when they have had enough and come

anteed to cure all the carbuncles on

arond the track without getting back
their entrance fee, and then retire has.

neighbors may view the remains, he
