lie OLlIlC4L MUDDLE.-lU o p0llLl-
cal ticket placed in the field by the Non
Partisans is regarded. almost as an insult
by the residents of East Berkeley. Of the
five nominees for Trustees TWO are from
the South Berkeley precincts, which poll
less than one-siXth of the total vote of the
city, two are from the precincts of West
Berkeley, which poll one-third of the
votes. and one from the North Berkeley
precincts, which also poll less than sixth
OF the total votes. Precincts two and
three, which embrace East Berkeley proper
and contain more voters than any other
two precincts of the town, lave no repre-
sentative on the ticket whatever, and of
the remaining officers the East End is also
given very meager percentage, nearly all
the nominees being from West Berkeley
and Lorin way. The strength of this
party lies in these districts. But the al
most complete slight put upon the East
End will very probably injure the entire
ticket on election day.

charter the Buard of Trustees has power
