VOTE ON COM
 MISSION SYSTEM

Des Moines, Ia, June 20.-Aftat the bitterest campaign in the history of the city q special municipal e!ee- ton is in progress today to determine whether Des Moines shall adopt he commission system of government or continue to allow politicians to con trol it's $1,0o0,000 annual revenues. The new scheme is known is the Dcs Monies plan and has the approval of practically all the business 1neu 5t the city, who have pushed the cam- paign for it's adoption with great vigor. A tremendous vote is being cast, both the friends and opponents of the measure eXerting every effort to get the voters to the polls.
 The Des Moines plan has been buiit up On the provisions of the commis- sion system under which Houston Galveston, Fort Worth and 0thae cities have been successfully maNa4- ed. The recall of inefiicen. or cor rupt officials, the initiative and refer endum and the strict regulation of corporations will follow the adoption of the scheme, which provides for < council of five persons, elected 1t large, who are given the authority b manage the city on lines of a busl- ness institution or corporation. JU- der the plan now in vogue each voter 1 casts his ballot for oniy t~o allert men out of nine, while under the ) commission system he vii vote for all of them. Tn addition he will be allowed to express his opinion on ey- cry franchise proposed bT the council or initiated by the people and to de-
 mand the submission to q popular
 vote of every ordinance proposed bv
 the council.
 Opposed to the new regime are the city officials, the politicians, the lt- 1 quor interests and the labor unions l the latter basing their objections on the fact that the business men of l the city are in favor of the Barry open shop idea. The city officials, Of course, are eonstitutionalIy opposed to relinquishing any of their preroga- tives, and the saloon men and gam blers believe that they can more aesily maintain their interests under the present system and have raised fund todefeat the plan at today :; election.

AT LEAST BE FAIR

SIT is not fair to President
Roosevelt to insist that he shall
be a candidate next year to
succeed himself. He has said
at least thrice that he is not to
be a candidate, and others speak
ing for him have declared that It
the President should be nomi-
mated his party would be met by
the most unusual situation OF a
candidate declining to accept an
honor placed upon him.
"Of course if it should come to
pass, when the Republican ma
tional convention meets, that
there was a unanimous call OF the
delegates that Theodore Roose'
velt should be their candidate it
would create a problem the Pres
dent would have to face. He
would meet it. We do not be-
lieve he is to be called upon at
this time to make any further
statements in relation to his in
tention to quit when his present
term expires. He is a target for
cynics and unfair critics, who
maintain that the President is
not honest in his refusal to be
considered a candidate, and bis
mistaken friends are adding to
the criticisms by insisting that
he shall rescind his decision.
SIN the meantime the Presi-
dents political opponents should
be fair enough to take the Presi.
dent at his word; and his friends
and admirers should not seek to
embarrass him. ."-Morning Neaos.
