POSTMASTER ELECTION. A man skilled in politics said today that all this newspaper and street talk about an election for the postmaster is mere vaporizing. He said there would be no election for postmaster. He spoke like one who knew.
A great many questions are being asked about the law in relation to postoffice elections. The fact is there is no law providing for postmaster election. Where such elections have been held, a general agreement h&s been reached as to the rules which would govern them, but
r:,but
there is no law in the books for "such elections. Should such an election be called we do not think any patron of the office could be barred from voting, no matter what his politics, should he demand to do so. The rural route patrons would have the same right to participate in the election that the people in Greenfield
Would have. Neither would the candidates necessarily be limited to the city. They could enter from thd country as well. Neither do we see bow a Democrat could be kept oat of
the race for the position if he sought to enter. Of course the Congressman would not recommend a Democrat, but there are more Democratic patrons of the Greenfield office than Republicans, and if a Democratic candidate were to be brought forward and his party were to vote solidly for him, a condition might arise in which the candidate who received more votes than all the other candidates, and would still not receive the appointment. A $2,300 per
annum
job opened up the contest
with no limits on candidacy would probably be so tempting a plum that many candidates would enter. With everybody eligible, afield of fifty candidates would not be a surprise. In fact, the interest which many outsiders are manifesting in the matter of election would make one suspect that the bee was buzzing in many bonnets.
HOME FLOUR FOR GREENFIELD. The New Milling Company has agreed that it will donate §1,500 to the Commercial Club_ of this city if the merchants of Greenfield will agree to use Greenfield flour to the exclusion of other flours. The company agrees to make as good a grade of flour as any company can make. Its representatives say that when they go to other county seat towns the merchants will not let them make prices on flour, saying that they buy of their home mills. The Barrett Elevator Company, which has a new mill equipped with the latest improved mochinery, also is willing to make a liberal donation to the Commercial Club on condition that they they are loyally patronized by the local flour dealers. Both mills are new and have the very best machinery possible to secure for making flour and all mill products. They stand ready to guarantee their pro-d ucts to stand the strictest tests as to quality. All they want is the home trade, and they are ready to lead the Commercial Club in its efforts to locate factories and build up the industries of Greenfield.
The demands of the Greenfield grain dealers and millers are certainly very reasonable and their offer to contribute very liberal. The Commercial Club is favorably impressed with the proposition and thinks the business men should consider it seriously. They say merchants want home trade, let them give home trade. The ladies of the city could take a hand in this line by demanding home-made flour. It all resolves itself into the old question of of a community standing together. It is a good policy, and brings good results to the community. Co-operation of our citizens will do wonders |for Greenfield. A little donejalong that line by each one will in the aggregate amount to a great deal.
CORRESPONDENTS AND ADVERTISERS
On account of the large circulation of the Daily Reporter and the limited capacity of the newspaper press of this office, it has become necessary to go to press on the weekly Republican early Thursday morning. Country correspondence and advertisements received Thursday morning seldom appear in the Weekly paper.
1
We re
gret this but it can not be avoided under present conditions. It therefore becomes necessary to mail local country news sent to us by our correspondents, not later than Tuesday morning, and advertising for the Weekly must be in the office not later than Wednesday afternoon. 21t3
The census enumerators are now on the last lap in the city and it is high time that you are certain that you were not missed by the enumerators. The census will not again be taken for ten years and Greenfield wants every man, woman and child in the city counted. If you have not been counted or know of a family or an individual that has been missed, report the names and street addresses to tfie the enumerator in your precinct. Every citizen should have a pride in seeing the city grow and should give the enumerators all the information possible.
Now is the time when glorioiu summer is made the hour of discontent with the pupil who' has not done
his duty. Of course the student who has worked faithfully is not worried, but all who have spent their time in pleasure seeking find very little consolation as the final examination for promotion occurs.
