Local Government.
All good citizens should be students
OF municipal government. We In Du-
luth have a lot of local pride about
the management Of our city. Some
years ago there was the usual suspic-
ion about municipal corruption and
after thorough Investigation by sew
eral grand juries the city government
was pretty we'll cleansed.
Following this the people adopted a
charter, which was carefully and wisely
drawn by commission Of earnest and
sincere citizens This charter has so
restricted and defined the power OF the
officials that municipal corruption is
held to be almost impossible.
The citizens themselves take g. deep
interest in the politics of the city with
the result that able and clean men are
chosen to represent them in the sew
eral positions. Party politics cut but
little figure among the ordinary voters
when it comes to choosing representa-
tives
For instance Duluth is known to be
strong republican city, but men OF
other parties are often elected to re-
sponsible positions.
Dr.. NJ. 3. cuIlum Mayor.
The Hon. M. B. Culluna. mayor,
democrat in national politics. was
elected to the office by handsome ma
jority over his republican opponent.
This too just prior to the national
election. Mr.. Cullum Is giving the peo-
pie a. safe, sound and sane administra-
ton. Even his most bitter political
opponents give him credit for being
one Of the best mayors the city ever
had. The mayor is not rainbow chas
er, if the use Of the slang term will be
permitted. Neither does he make any
grand stand" plays about the manage
ment of the city. He is cautious and
conservative in action, and every in
terest in the city is proud of his
record in the office Of mayor.
There is often too much danger In a
man becoming an ultra conservative
with the responsibilities Of admins
tration upon his shoulders, but DR.. Gull
lum seems to know when to be conser-
vative, and when not to be. AS EVIL
dence of the truth Of this statement we
call attention to his firm and determine
ed stand with relation to the street
car problem. The company has long
ago learned that the mayor Is not to
be trifled with. Prior to his election
to the office of mayor. DR.. Cullun was
an alderman representing the first
ward in the city council. 1t was upon
his admirable record In this office that
he made his successful campaign for
mayor. It is indeed fortunate that the
people Of the city have been able to Sc
cure the valuable services of so able
and contentious man as DR.. Cullum.
