the stove had, during the night, BURST

to Grafton. He is brother of T. j.

THE NEED OF 4 NEW COMMITTEE.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your admirable editorial in to-days Issue,
Give MS New Committee" IS timely warning
TO those Republicans Of this city who believe that
their party stands for principle. not for spoils TO
get together and take active part in its man.
agement At present It Is In the hands Of band Of
unprlncipled spollsmen, who only for lining
their pockets or those Of their heelers. with money
from the public crib. The better element has been
dormant and inactive. To everlasting dis
grace we are represented in the councils Of the
party by men whose credit worth only $500 In
a campaign where thousands Of dollars were spent
on the Republican and Fusion side. That fact
speaks volumes for the lack OF confidence felt in the
integrity and far-dealing Of our managers. What
business house would keep such discreited mana
gers longer In office? What Of the enrolled
decent Republicans who will take the trouble
10 go to the primaries. would keep IN his employ
men so little trusted Yet In this Republic OF ours
are governed indirectly by our party leaders
for they largely influence the choice OF candidates
for public oflces-our rulers. albeit our servants.
II gentlemen take much pains over the selection
OF private servants, why not over that OF public
servants whose power and opportunity for injur-
Ing their employers Is much greater?
II all enrolled Republicans who believe in the
truth OF their partys doctrines VIII take the pains
will go to pieces as effectively did the Deacons
celebrated One-hOrse shay and with much less
clatter Bat those who attend the primaries must
remember that they will be confronted at the polls
They must therefore, consult together beforehand
and go prepared for concerted action; whereby
alone they can overcome the machine. The latter's
forces will be organized and VIII vote at each poll

SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVING THE BALLOT.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The proof OF the pudding is in the eating and
the wisdom Of our ballot law Is shown in It's
workings. Yet Il can be improved. and suggestions
with that end in view should be welcomed from all
who have been interes,cd in noting it's operation.
Why not have three separate ballots, red for
National Offices white FOR State and blue for Local?
Then ali squabbling to whether the 5 ate ticket
should appear at the head OF each fractional local
ticket would be done away with Another good re-
suit would be that the distinctions between local
and general government would be emphasized on
the minds Of the voters. And third. that enormous
ballots would not be needed. inasmuch the Ma
tonal and State tickets would be printed once for
all the National and State ballot and not be
needlessiy repeated huge bill poster to con-
fuse voters and reard the count.
so many voters put extra curleycues on their bal
lots instead OF the PLAIN cross I%) that II might
be well to devise some plan to head on that par
tcular defect. Whcthcr done corrupuy TO mark
the ballot for Identification or in mere eXuDerance
Of spirits Is not to tho point. Place In each booth
a rubber stamp BEARING the cross OK and al'0
selfnk!ng pad. And then require that all voters
mark their ballots with The stamp unless they wish
10 vote for Independent candidates, when as az
present. they may write the names in with lead
pencil. There would be no need or excuse for extra
frills In marking.
In the lmportan. Presidential contest coming next
year 1t will be necessary TO have the election ana
the count proceed smoothly. and everything should
be done 70 perfec: the ballot law. PERFECTER.
