FAVOR SEPARATION
OF NATIONAL AND
CITY ELECTIONS
MUNICIPAL LEAGUE SECRETARY
AND AID. WEBER STRONGLY
IN FAVOR OF cHANoE-soME
OF THE ADVANTAGES.

"One Of the most important matters
that must be taken up as soon as we
get the new constitution Is that OF
shifting the municipal elections back
to the spring" says Anthony Pratt,
secretary OF the Municipal league. IF
we must have city elections in the
fall, however. let US get, them In the
of years. so as to separate Them from
state and national elections. NUM-
cipal questions should be considered
entirely apart from the usual partisan
politics. National issues have nothing
TO do with our local problems. and
the separation Of elections would
clear city issues"
Aid. Weber takes similar view
and will assist in any movement
started for separating the elections.
Our officials should be elected on
the basis OF what service they can
give the city and not In accordance
with any question OF what their views
on the tariff may be-" says Weber.
The tariff has nothing TO do with
three-cent fares, yet men are elected
in some wards solely because they are
Republicans or Dmocrats.
The plea made for bringing all
the elections together was that more
votes would be brought out In that
way. All can say Is. that IL men
do not care enough about their city TO
get out and vote In municipal cleo
tons, their votes are well lost"

WILLEMSTADT, Caracao, july rs.
The Dutch cruiser Gilderland has
been ordered to proceed at once to
Venezuela.
THE HAGUE, July 2s.-Much ex-
element has been caused here and
In other cities OF the Netherlands by
the news OF the trouble between Hol-
land and Venezuela.
The newspapers are bellicose. They
calculate that six Dutch batueships
and cruisers are ready for immediate
service, while five others are In the
East Indies or In dock The version
current here Of the demonstration at
Wfllemstadt il that the Venezuelan
consul there was forced TO apologize
and salute when the Dutch national
anthem was played.
WASHINGTON, July 2s.-Relations
between Holland and Venezuela have
reached such an acute stage that 1t
would cause no surprise to officials of
the state department II very serious
complications should arise from the
trouble
The dispute began several months
ago when bubonic plague made its APP
pearance Of the island OF Curacao Is
sued regulations against Venezuelan
ports President Castro retaliated by
prohibiting the transhipment in Cura-
Gao OF goods consigned TO Venezuelan
ports and also prohibited Dutch ves'
sells from engaging in the coastwise
trade OF Venezuela.
These two DEGREES ruined the com
merce OF Curacao. Holland made an
emphatic protest but Castro refused
10 revoke the DEGREES and the dispute
between Castro and the Dutch min
lister became bitter. and the latter's ex'
pulsion followed.
While the state department would
maintain a neutral attitude II Holland
desires TO spank Castro, the belief Is
expressed In Official circles that II the
Dutch nation bombards the Venezuc-
Ian ports she will probably notify the
United States before she carries out
her intention.
