BURY SELFISH AMBITIONS. © The election is over and the people of Patton have a new set of officers. They are the first corps of officers chosen at a regular election and some of them will serve three years: the burgess and tax collector, and . also some of the councilmen, school . directors and auditors. Not another. election of as much importance, in filling local offices, will come along for three years. What this town wants to do now is to pull straight ahead for the greatest It is . not suppoeed that any of the men . elected will be governed in their offi- cial capacity by selfish motives, and until such a thing is seen to be true of - . them let everybody treat them with . the confidence and fairness due to the * most upright and honorable men. : The couniry. around affords numer- _ ous examples of towns in which the public policy has been liberal to a marked degree or the reverse, and Patton has a way open to become one 9825. - of the best, just what the COURIER has claimed for the future.
