ONE ASPECT OF THE ELECTION.

ONE ASPECT OF THE ELECTION.
The Election of 1928 is history The Democratic ticket both
State county, victorious with the exception of one cand
date Foos out for the County Treasurershp
but by Henry Pchad candidate of the
sition
It looks as if the Democratic party satisfied if they
pleased accept than the whole hog and Mr. Pchard
his party rejoice they eated over the rescue OF the
one sheep out of the ninety and nine
It might be interesting to conjecture little just why Mr.
selected the candidate to down to defeat
why Phad selected the only candidate OF his party
to return successful.
Some are ready to say that the present incumbent
elected because good record but ectng his
happen frequently politics to make it an
tabshed principle to explain his retention office Many men
with as good Mr. Picard have been compelled to step
and give to other who were considered
capable giving good service; and mans EMERGENCY is not
accepted giving him official mortgage which must never be
foreclosed. -
The principle of rotation in office accepted in this
country; since every American right
expect recognition he worthy and deserves it, So it MOI
be said record keeps office Politics do not
slider records political parties do not want good
but because there is more than one man capable OIL MAKING
good Therefore Mr. Pchards good record did not
opinion him. and will not keep him there when the
people get ready to put him out.
Again some have said Mr. Pichard is pretty "sck poll
We do not know that this severe accusation If mai
goes politics. he has right to be politician and whatever
Of his votegetng capacity may good record office
activity campagner is also important consideration
Mr. Pchard is put down good man on the hustlngs
So his methods Of electioneeng concerned
might some OF neM we WOuon
anything discussion OF that Sort because they are success
full nothing like But there other good
politicians Mr. Pchards companion Mr. Kerbin also
counted as member when it to poitickn He
be able shake hands often and vigorously Mr.
Plchard just babies also talk cattle
with the best of them he remember names and talk
about the last time 1--WE together the he had
taken in just such; in word ne is mighty
tsslck" politician, too.
But he with the Others his ship sank while Mr.
Pchas sailed and So can't be because of any peculiar
political sagacty that the County Treasurer WILL for another
TERM desk the court house. Political astuteness doesn't
necessarily w and his not be ascribed to that al
together. mr.,
There other that might be for Mr. Plch
success but that the strongest u.s. the
people Costons district felt they suffered the distribution of
principle of recognition Of all parts of the county, and they
teach the organization lesson and
that Coons district must be considered when offices handed
around
this is the true then Mr. Pichard not take much
comfort himself because of his good record his skill poll
an for other because could have been
returned victor if the principal of recognition the predom
nant motive for defeating Mr. Fooks.
So far the Democrat concerned stands squary
for home people any phase of activity In the p
mares supported home in the field not simply be-
good of the rest seeking nomination. and thought
enough of them want them victorious In the future
shall always put forth effort to bring to community
such recognition think they deserve but if that effort
cal recognition then shall disappointment
Further believe that the accusation laid the door of the
Democratic party this county, the matter of the of the
primaries not deserved and might be we'll to consider
the fact that resentment does not exist monopoly COstons
district 1t would that cooperation amongst all the
districts and far the Democrats
it will be its effort to bring harmony out of all discord
for the good the whole county, and always stand fast the
Democratic party
