SUBSCRIPTIONS. sIoo PER YEAF
OUR COUNTY CLERK
Has Given Excellent Service to Pub
lie. Growing Tendency to Re-
tain Efficient Officers.

A recent statement shows that out
of eighty-three County Clerks in the
state of Michigan, over fifty of them
are serving the people their third and
fourth terms. This statement shows
beyond a doubt the growing tendency
on the part of the public to retain in
the office of county clerk an official
who has made good. This tendency
has been reinforced and strengthened
by the application of the direct nom
nation law which gives a decided ad-
vantage to good official who as
pires to be his own successor.
There is no department of county
government more eXacting in its ma
turc than that of clerk. Necessarily
the incumbent must be thoroughly
capable. devoted to the proper dis
charge of his duty. accurate to de-
gree and willing to render prompt
and efficient service to his constit-
uents Such an official when once
located in the office of county clerk,
is not easily displaced, nor does the
public service demand his displace-
ment, but rather the reverse.
