RIGHT TO The POINT.

Assemblyman Sturlevaut of Clark cour
ty, one OF the most conservative and
able members of the last Two sessions
aud lawyer of great ability, and one
who stood for all measures for the bet
terment of the whole people, recently
made statement which must be ser.
iously considered by every man who
believes in honest politics and just laws.
Read it:
Il am heartily in favor of the re-elec
ton of Gov La Toilette for second
term, and am unable to see any reason
why he should be excepted FROM the
general rule The campaign of Islander
and abuse which has been organized
against him il uujustifisble and instead
of accomplishing tn. objects of his op
ponents, will only emphasize in the
minds of the masses the shortcomings
Of those who are back of the movement
Zainst the governor. He simply stands
for the principles set forth in the plat
form on which he was elected and on
which every other candidate on the re-
publican ticket was year ago elected
nothing more and nothing less. For
doing this he ia branded populist. IL
20 stand for the principles of the pri-
mary election law, which is TO put the
selection Of candidates for public office
near to the people is an evidence of
populism, then our whole system of
democratic government, which is based
on the will of the people, is populistic
and all power under our constitution
may as we'll be turned over to the wise
statesmen of Milwaukee. If to demand
and endeavor to have enacted into law
the principle that all property interests
of our state, WHISTLER individual or cor,
porate shall bear the burdens of taxa
ton equally is populistic, then the gov
ernor Is a populist 1t is TO defeat these
measures and to vent personal spite
that the league at Milwaukee has been
lorganiZsd The governor stands wv
for the same principles that he advocat-
! ed before his election, and il these prin.
ciples were sound then, they are sound
now. The politicians are having their
innings now, but the people will have
theirs at the polls.

URGING PUBLIC BATHS.
CITIZENS UNION COMMITTEE REPORTS TO
BOROUGH PRESIDENT swANsTRoM

The committee on public baths and comfort sta
tions Of the Brooklyn Borough Committee of the
Citizens Union. consisting of w II Zieger Henry
Hentz, G. w Thompson, W. II. Tolmau and
Theodore NJ Taft. sent a report last night to Bor-
ouGh President Swanstrom. in which IL urges that
four baths he built this year. and after another
year additional baths he put up at the rate Of
two year. The report in part is follows.
BROOKLYN, in some respects is IN greater need Of
public baths than Manhattan. The greater
value of Manhattan land has compelled the build
ing OF more improved tenement houses. with proper
hot and cold water. Then, too, the restrictions
affecting tenement houses are more stringent in
Manhattan than in Brooklyn In this borough
there large sections where the dwelling houses
water and suitable bathing facilities. In these
sections of the city the necessity of public baths
is most urgent.
Those parts of the borough needing baths can
most conveniently be considered as being in four
general districts. They are
First-That section of the borough extending from
Fort Greene Park 10 the bridge in direction
and the navy yard in another. This
ton and contains most of the Second. Fourth,
Fifth and Eleventh wards.
SeCOnd-That section OF the borough located
about GowanuS Canal. and in the Tenth, Twelfth
ana part Of the Sixth wards.
Thrd-That section OF the borough located about
End IN the Sixteenth Ward. This can most con-
veniently be called the Bushwick section
Fourth-That section known as Brownsville, in
the Twenty-siXth Ward.
The proportion of the people who would use pub
lie baths and the number of times they would use
them weekly Is an open question and a matter
largely Of education. The proba bility is no mat
will be insufficient in meeting the wants of the
people as soon as their value Il known.
