How They Did It. It has been a great puzzle to most of our good citizens to know how that tot'vn caucus got such a worthy, honorable, high-toned, cultured man as Edward A. Small to go on :their ticket. ' We make a rough "guess and ‘will venture that it comes much near- er the truth "than ’a row of apple trees. He did not go on at all; 'he feluaed to go, but in spite‘oi all that he was put ou. Here IS our “guess" at the modus operandi. Mayor Cobb spent from one to two hours with Mr Small a night or two before the caucus trying to persuade him to go on their ticket as assessor. He was unwilling but thought it over and earth to get Mr. Small on there because they wanted aome one to give their ticket character, Chnae- ter is an essential thing in a city like Highland Park. They had names enough and men enough, but the thing they did not have was' enough character. W hen they could net persuade Mr. Small to sacrifice hiur sell to help them out of a hole of their own digging they attempted to co- ier‘ee him by a ayewm of political bull dozing.‘ "“ Oh, you need .not do the work, Mr. Small, all will help you.” In- deed! They “helped” "Elmer Pal~ , metier last year, putting shekela‘ in their own pockets and outrageous taxes on lots of innocent, honest folks, and when these people" were angry and filled with-wrath, they said, “Oh, Mr. Brand is assessor.” They would “help” Mr. Small, eh? That was one of their sinister motives for wanting him on theirticket, so he would let the job out to them, because they know that a year hence they will be politicians out of a job, as soon as the people can get at them at the ballot box; That’s how and why they did it. ~ ‘ Voting Places and Officers.
