GOOD GOVERNMENT LEAGUE,
IL VIII Shortly III, Its Ticket in the
JPIu.

Mr.. -. A. Catlin, president Of the
Democratic League for Good Govern
ment sad yesterday that the League only
lacked two names Of having a. complete
ticket 10 put i'm the field 10 contest for
seats I'm the Board of Aldermen and the
Common Council. The names that are
wanting viii probably Zoe secured to-day
or tomorrow.
"The League" said Mr.. Caun. will
endorse a number OF the men who are
now i'm the field. They will bee endorsed
on their RECORDS whether they are mem
bers Of the League or not. The platform
of the League is for the city TO live with
in It's income; that is the whole thing in
q nutshell
Mr.. Catlin said further that the League
after a great amount Of hard work had
nndlly induced Il number of nrst-rate
men To- enter the race. The League will
take no part m tho fight for municipal
offices but viii conGno itself 10 the
Council and Board of Aldermen. Mem
bers of the League, vino were seen this
morning expressed themselves as conh-
dent that every man endorsed would be
elected.
The fact that O. number of tine Demo
cratic clubs are opposing the League by
every means i'm their power was referred
expressed tire opinion that the clubs did
not represent the sentiment of a major
ity of the voters of Richmond
"Thc League said member els not
DEF ending upon the voters who attend
club meetings and mako speeches for its
success. our strength is in the stay-at-
home vote: those people VINO work an
day ana then 20 home To their families
and stay there. The League has abso-
uteiy no axe 90 grind; norP of its mem-
beers desire Office. All that we want is 20
promote the good OF she ci,y. and stop
this cruoi. useless waste of thc people
money That has been going on an these
years"
There is much speculation goiug ON as
10 what names Will Dee put forward Dy
the Good Government League. 10 Us

zcns will bee named many of whom nave
never held Office of any kind
