WAR ON PARTY MACHINES.
Plan OF BIRD S. COLER.
Suggests Nee Organization to Fight
for Control of City.

Bird s. Coler, ex-City Controller, candidate for
Governor on the Democratic ticket in 1907, ana
recently president of the Civil Service Commits
sion, at Garden City yesterday expressed the
opinion that it time the business men of
this city were getting together and taking an In
terest in municipal affairs. He said
A condition has arisen where two great imam
cial groups are fighting for control OF city az
fairs. The oldtime GENERALIZATION. o. power and
unity of action in city affairs that marked the
days of Croker are absent. Then the admins
tration was unit. Now, the city administra-
ton is all split up. There is the Board OF Est1-
mate controlled by group, the Board or Al
dermen by another, and so on.
The contest for franchises for new tunnels
has become acute. Now, do not put me down as
an alarmist. one in favor of confiscation. but
1 think it is about time for the city to step IN
and take control of its own utilities The busi-
ness men of the city ought to take a hand in
these affairs The people should not leave the
administration of affairs to such an incompe-
tent set of dreamers and theorists as the Citl-
zens Union The other organizations are as
credited At the same time the people should
not place inexperienced men in office to admin
lister city affairs.
l am not king nominations but there IS
Martin w. Littleton, President of the Borough
of Kings. He is a trained man, excellent
official and would make good candidate for
Mayor. Thomas L. Hamilton. the present County
Clerk would make ideal man for Controller.
These are simply suggestions You could get
for the offices who would be trained men,
honest men and appeal to the people. To nomi-
nate such ticket ii would be necessary first to
get an organization together and then the plan
would develop. 1 am speaking OF this matter
now so that people may examine the conditions
as they exist to-day The business men, the men
of affairs and those who have an interest in the
welfare of the city are foolish to ignore city
affairs. I believe that an organization some
thing like the one 1 have suggested could win.
and / believe that if enough put their
shoulder to the wheel a strong. vigorous and
successful fight could be waged this fall and a
complete overthrow of the two machines and
the Citizens Union as wen, be effected.
