: convention had pledged itself "a individuals
:. not 10 ask heads CT departments for places
=. either for themselves or friends. The reso-
'iutiGn was designed to relieve heads Of de-
partments from importantly to the end that
they might do as good work in their several
'.deDaTtm ents as an ordinary man could do
with the same amount Of money. Under
this rule the departments will get along
:nicely with about two thirds OF Their present
expenditure. a: resolution adopted Mon
day night prohibits non- partisan candidates
from mourning obligations TO other organi-
.:zatlonS that the non-partisan platform re-
:: lieves .siiem from in respect to the members
of the nou-p&rtisan convention. This reso-
intion.Is to the effect that candidates of the
): ..noa-rartisan convention shall not seek The
:. indorstment. of any other organization.
:'Such Endorsements. if made will place the
.non-p&ftisan candidates under no obIiga-
tons. Members of other organizations who
have procured the Endorsement Of a non
partisan candidate are thus stop ed from
going to such candidate in the event Of eiec-
=. tiun aud asking for places on the ground
:. That the Endorsement they procured was
essential to election. The convention has
=: given .stffe people good comprehensive
platform. 1t has pledged the candidates it
may Nominate to reform such abuses as are
complained Of. 1t has provided against
evasionssof duty on the part of its candi-
dates. 1t now remains to name men whose
characters and public service are in har-
mony with the purpose Of the organizs-
ton and the platform it has presented
The voters will not accept boodler on his
first profession Of reformation. They will
demand ticket that speaks as loudly and
clearly as the platform itself
