don the historic unnunl town 115?.
tion But. a very sfhall numbci have;
shown that they were tllssatiefiedl
w.th the annual election. and that!
[they but awaited an opportunity toi
abandon it. The tesult of ten yoms‘i
operation of the law allows that it;
1 Was not enacted in response to a sen-‘
‘ titnent that. existed in the small towns?
of the state, if that sentiment had}
existed it would have-found pi'nctloall
[expressions in a change from annual;
to biennial elections in a greater num-:
ber of towns. The fact that 147 lownsl
in the state still show a preferancc
for annual elections indicates that the
law of 1907 was not suggested by any
one who understood the sentimenlflol‘
the1 small towns. The reason for the1
unwillingness to change may be
'found in the .natural attachment of
rural communities to customs and
usages which have become a port of
their community life, rather than in a
defect in the law itself or in the prim
clplo which it embodies.
But it is noticed that partisan poli-
tics play-a less important patt in
town elections than they formerly
did. and that the efficient selectmen
and the capable town clerk may be
assured of reelection at every-elec-
tion. even though their political
partisanship may differ from that of
a majority of tho electors. It is true
that the practice of making political
nominations continues, but these
nomlnntions do not control the vote
at the polls. It is the personnel of
the ticket and not its political com~
plexlon that is considered by the
voters.‘
The elimination of political parti~
sanshilt from town erections is also
shown in the frequency of the in-
dorsement of the. candidates of one
party. when these candidates are‘
worthy of indoraement. by the op—
posing party. The voters generally
like to see that' spirit. ‘It shows a.
local~'putriotlsm that places the wel-
fare of the community‘ above partt
sanship, and the party which exhibits
it gains in strength with the'people.
Hartford has had an object lesson in
this. For 1.1. number of. yearn the late
tickets for city and town clerk. the
