The election campaign is over and
what a campaign it was! All the
misdeeds committed by old campaign-
ers were raked up and again dragged
through the mud. The younger men
experienced much the sane treatment
as far as their municipal careers were
concerned and if all the stories cir-
culated had been trte, it would havo
been .just too bad. If we had kept
a Est of the blackballs reaching our
ears and printed them this week, our
readers would haste had a 'dirty' col-
umn to read. Doubtless most of the
voters know whereof we speak so we
will just pass over that phase of the
campaign and hope that no friend-
ships have been broken or enemies
made by the propaganda circulated.
No one realizes truly the meaning.
of a "thankless job" as much as the
person who has one. This is par-
ticularly true of municipal positions.
