Politics Seems to Be Eliminated by
Commission Plan.

Des Mofnes, Ia, March 1S.-The
true spirit of government by a COM
mission representing the people was
caught at the primary election here
when A. j. Mathis. the present police
Judge, received the highest vote for
mayor. His cause was championed by
no newspaper. He led by more than
1000 votes Eugene Waterbury, a slate
candidate, who had been boosted by
the two leading papers of the city.
After the adoption of the Des
Moines plan, which was held out as a
government with politics eliminated
the men who had urged it irnm ediate-
ly prescribed slate or candidates and
asked the people to adopt the slate.
The cry of politics and caucus meth
yesterday the people showed their in
dignation at any attempt to control
their individual choice.
Eight candidates were selected
from the forty-two voted for, and at
the final election four of these will
be named as commissioners.
John MacVicar, who was attacked
by the two slate newspapers, received
the highest vote of any candidate for
commissioner. John L. Hamery. who
was elected councilman two years ago
by scratchers, was Second He, too.

ley ASH, a labor candidate, was third:
Charles s. Worth, a slate candidate,
was fourth; James R. Hanna, a slate
candidate but also a laboring man.
was fifth; Button S. Walker a slate
candidate, was sixth: Charles
Schramm. an Independent candidate,
was seventh, and w. H Brereton, a
present alderman, was eighth
Politicians predict defeat for the
slate members at the final election.
March 80, on the ground that, mas
much as there was a concentrated
fight in behalf of the slate members,
the scattering vote will go to the in
dependent candidates al the final
election.
It was decidedly a peoples election.
Among the defeated candidates is a
long list of old politicians who have
held office in Des Moines, in one shape
or other, for a quarter of a century.
John Mckay, ex-councilman, county
treasurer and postmaster, was showed

The primary was peaceful and
any way. The final election to sim

Des Moines plan eliminates politics.
Mathis is Democrat and Waterbury

plan hold to the rule of no politics

has the best chance of winning.

La FoIlette's Encounter With Aldrich

Washington, March 1S.-"What !
have to say is made more pertinent, If
possible by the action taken with re-
spect to the Aldrich bill,'' said Mr.. La
Toilette in beginning his speech in the
senate on the currency bill His refer
ence was to the amendments made to
the bill by the committee on finance.

chamber toward Senator Aldrich, Mr..
LaFollette declared, ct will show the
connection of these great groups with

the dextrous withdrawal of the propo-
sItion to incorporate railroad bonds in
the BILL
Mr.. Aldrich said the most earnest
objection to this bill was made by the
National City bank of New York and
that Mr.. Vanderlip. vice president of
that bank, has opposed the measure.
1t is, he declared, mot only oppos-
ed by that bank but by all the banks
of New York. I have received this
morning a statement from the New
York clearing house association say
ing we would better have no currency
legislation at all than have this bill,
and stating reasons why we should
have an asset currency. I know of no
bank or banking man in favor of this
bill The fact is, the banks through
out the country are against it, and

a tone of sarcasm, 'in some way the
chairman of the finance committee will
be able to find out where Mr.. Morgan

proposition embraced in the BILL
II suppose" said Mr.. Aldrich, "the
senator from Wisconsin will agree with
me that this proposition should be
discussed on its merits as to what it
will do, and not in view of what men
in the position of Mr.. Morgan think
of it,
Let me say" Mr.. LaFollette replied,
you cannot always tell from the lines
of the bill. I should say the PROPOSE
ton to withdraw the provision to in
corporate railway bonds in this bill
throws a flood of light upon the pur-
pose of this legislation Let me say to
the senator from Rhode Island further
that it is not beyond question that
these great organizations might put
out here or there criticisms of this
proposition to give color to the idea
that there is no great and mighty
power organized behind this legisla-
ton
After talking for two and a half
hours Mr.. LaFollette found himself
unable to continue further and sus-
pended his remarks until today.
Mr.. LaFollette was soon surrounded
by senators extending their congratu-
lations, most of them being from the
Democrat side.
