voice at the height of its range were ap-

without judge and jury. Legal, jug glery must not intervene between ser- want and master, or employe ana em- ployer. In order to do this the voters must nominate and elect their super visors and School Directors by small districts, so that the voters will per sonally know the candidate. The char ter convention did not take to this method, on the ground that certain Cls- tricts would be colonized and controlled by the bosses. While that would be true in some districts, it would only be possible in few. Most of the districts would be controlled by public-spirited citizens, who would become more num- erous under the reform plan than they are now.
 Men are more inclined to be honest in their collective capacity than they are as individuals, and knowing honest administration of public affairs to be possible, they would strive to obtain 1t.
 The voting out of office can be done by ballot confined to the district which the officer misrepresents, or by mail, or by registering for or against the ac- cused official at the City Hall. There is no trouble to devise method that is practical and cheap if there is an honest willingness to institute the re- form.
 The people have been sorely tried by seeing the boodler snap his finger in their faces and giving the officers ab- solute control over their affairs, with fraud and corruption an open secret and without any redress.
 The new charter removes so per cent of the city officials beyond their reach and will make matters worse than they are now. The new charter is a botch work of compromises and should be voted down. The cure for the evils of democracy is greater control of public affairs to the collective citizenship.

 From a democratic standpoint I urge the following additional reasons for opposing the proposed new charter:
 Because the Mayor is not removable by the people.
 Because the Charter is throughout it's entire scope and essence undemo- cratic.
 Because the Board of Supervisors is clothed with authority to grant special privileges, to which all demo- crats are eternally opposed. (Art. II, Because no money can be drawn from the urgency-n cessity fund with out the sanction of fifteen of the eighteen Supervisors, and then sub ject to the veto of the Mayor. (Sec. 8, D. 22).
