HUGHES FOR REFORM.
WW Maintain and Enforce CiUI
Service LozC.

Elliot H. Goodwin, secretary of the Civil Service
REFORM Association. received yesterday telegram
from Charles E. Hughes, at Syracuse, in response
TO query from Mr.. Goodwin. declaring that he
would If elected do all in his power to that the
civil Service law was enforced. No answer has
been received yet TO similar letter sent to Will
lam Randolph Hearst
letter sent with the idea of learning the views
OF each candidate on this Civil Service question
said:
The Governor Of the state possesses large powers
IN connection with the administration of the law,
ana upon his attitude toward the Civil Service Re-
form principle must depend TO q large degree the
ehcfency and integrity of this administration. He
appoints and removes the State Civil Service Com
mlSsloners He approves disapproves all rules
and clssiticat tons made by the commission for the
conduct of the state aud county services. The
State Civil Service Commission has in turn. the
power of approving or disappearing the rules in
the municipal service well the power of re-
moving municipal commissioners The attitude of
the Governor toward the enforcement of this law
is therefore one of signal Importance to all who
are interested in securing honest and efficient
service through the medium Of the merit system.
Mr.. Hughess telegram was as follows:
AS member of your association who has served
upon Its law committee am deeply interested in
Its work. believe in the principles of Civil Ser
vice Reform, and shall do all in my power to see
that the Civil Service law is maintained and en-
forced.

tised al Springfield, Mo- Las Vegas, n. NJ. and

"PoLITlcs NEED PURIFYING"

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir; Although there is hardly a doubt that Mr..
Hughes will be elected, yet in the minds of good
many people there seems to be undercurrent of
uncertainty to what the outcome will be- This
should not be. and If women could it would not
be. | agree with the Editor of The North Ameri-
can Review who handles the subject lucidly in
The Editors Diary of the current number of that
magazine, when he says that the time has arrived
for women to vote. Enough emphasis cannot be
made of this fact. Many will say that women
would take no interest in politics. That is loose
ta!k Very few men would take interest in
politics if they could not vote Give women the
right to vote ard the interest will spring I'D like
toadstool The injection of womens into poli-
tics would have beneficial and lasting effect Po-
Eucal intrigue of the Hearst and Murphy type
would lie at end.
The predominant virtue that n woman would in
sist upon in candidate FOR political prsferment
would be hisE order OF morality. The possibility
of such men IS Hearst heading political party or
ticket would be eliminated ara the candidate of
either side would be an hpaor 10 his party instead
of leech and parasite. 'N0r politics need purify
ing. and here's the filter Why not adopt it?
