Selection of municipal employees.
The employees of cities or towns organized under this article shall be selected by the board of commissioners solely on account of their fitness and without regard to their political affiliations. It shall be unlawful to hold a party caucus or primaries for the purpose of nominating any employee to be selected by such board of commissioners, and any person who shall solicit, receive, or accept a party or caucus nomination for any office to be filled by said board of commissioners shall thereby be rendered ineligible for such office or for any other office under said city or town for a period of one year thereafter.
