as an illustration Of how things are going with

DEAR. SIR:-Kindly erase my name from the
roll of the Citizens Union. l find myself unable
to follow the workings of the Union or to ascer-
tain what II may reasonably be expected to ac-
complish. My chief objection to the course that
has been 80 far pursued by the Executive Com
mittee is that it Is proving neither representa-
tive nor HOMOGENEOUS. ana that one Is kept con-
stantly explaining which particular exponent OF
the Union correctly shadows forth his personal
views, which is at times decidedly embarrassing
i sympathiZe as fully with the professed pur-
poses of the Union as I did when enrolling, but
feel constrained to differ from those controlling
the movement as to the wisdom or probable efti-
cheney Of the methods used to accomplish the
end in view. Very respectfully.
