It has been true because at each city, township and school election, men and women who have had the good of the town at heart, have worked together to put up candiâ€" dates that they considered qualiâ€" fied for the job. , * Since there has been no official means of selection, these meetings have been secret, in the sense that no public notice has been given of them and have as a result been called "back room" caucuses. They have also =n ealled "clique" cauâ€" cuses se. only small interest groups or certain localities have been represented. A third reason is that the civic consciousness of the majority of the citizens is on such a high level that any attempt at anything not quite up to standard would be quickly detected and counterbalâ€" anced.
