isas be made or authorized by the gem
tlemen at the head of the movement
or on the ticket.
This whole city is honeycombod with
distrust regarding the methods Of the

the non-partlsan movement to ofrer a
contrast to those methods. Rather
than have It's ticket elected by inn
proper means, it's promoters would
cheerfully see it go down to defeat.
Non-partisanism in politics stands for
purity in politics, and when it loses It's
purity it loses it's purpose.
In saying this we do not deny that
an earnest canvass in behalf .of the
non-partisan ticket is in progress and
will be pushed with vigor until election
day Many men. ana women too, are
working FOR the ticket; but there is not
q heller among them. Not a worker
in the non-partisnn ranks has been

arc any such persons in the non-part-
