doesn't care if they do send him back.

CTS TALK CHARTER
Many Men of Many Minds Appear
Before the New Com
mission.
Wide Divergence Of Opinion Appar.
ent in G Connection With sepa-
rate Elections.

So many and such contradictory views
were advanced by various citizens before
the charter commission last evening that
it Is doubtful II the commissioners are
any more able to determine what the peo-
pie want than they were before.
Professor Sven Oftedal, formerly a
school director and a library director, ar
gued in favor Of getting on home-rule
basis as soon as possible, and thought
no other matters should be considered
at this time. When asked for his opin-
ion on other quest tons, he expressed him
self in favor Of civil service, separate
elections and aldermen-a t-large.
Jonas Guilford, an old time lawyer, re-
viewed the municipal history Of Mime
apolis with reference to the different
charters, and advocated a charter which
would recognize individual rights and not
give corporate interests an undue adj
vantage.
e. G. Erickson, the single tax advocate
spoke in favor of the iniative and refer.
endum feature of the Duluth charter
which had proved successful in that town
It was an effective check on corrupt coun
ellis, he said.

of a letter, in which he advocated tina

| Most interesting In the evenings pro
ceedings was the subject Of separate cleo
tions. They were opposed by Charles w
Johnson, Ralph Wheelock and others
Their position was that the people coul
be trusted to look after their own inter
ests at election time, and separate cleo
tions entailed needless expense and to
much attention to political questions. O
the other hand, Professor w. A. schape
of the state university declared that tn
students Of municipal government believe
separate elections brought the best re
suits. N. F.. Hawley, g. member of tn
school board and former charter com
missioner, said that the larger cities ha

the day was to divorce municipal affair
