PREDICTS ERA OF
BETTER POLITICS
FRANK TYRRELL THINKS HON
ESTY WILL PREVAIL
GIVES PRESS CREDIT FOR WORK.
ING REFORMATION
Speaker in Address to City Club Dis
cusses Question Whether Poll
tieians Are cowardIy and
Corrupt

Frank G. Tyrrell assured the City club
in answering the question, Are poll
ticians cowardly and corrupt" before
its members yesterday, that the in
fluence of honest men in politics is
daily becoming more powerful, for
which he gave credit in great part to
the newspapers.
"A definite and valued service has of
late been rendered the nation by the
periodic press" said Mr.. Tyrell, Sin it's
systematic and faithful report of cur
rent business and politics. Again and
again, as the searchlight turned its
blazing eye upon the map-now New
York, with its infamies of insurance,
banking and street railway; now St.
Louis, now San Francisco-we have be-
held a strange confederacy of crime,
and the confederates have always been
professional financiers, with sometimes
professional labor leaders. They have
conspired and combined against bust
ness and political integrity, against the
public welfare. against the nation. No
better expression of this can be given
Los Angeles herald., 1908-11-29

than to quote the ringing words of a
well known publicist who found that
his we'll meant efforts to establish bus
mess and political honesty aroused OPP
position and clamor just in proportion
as they We're effective"
Methods of cleansing politics from
corruption were pointed out by Mr.
Tyrrell as follows;
First. there must be continued. sys-
tematic publicity. This is being planned
for, in our own state, i'm the peoples
lobby and the California Weekly Every
week the legislature is in session it
is purposed to send out bulletins show
ing how each and every man voted Oil
pending measures, and whether he
lodged into the cloak room.
Second, there must be organized at
tention to politics by men, irrespective
of class or occupation.
THE cure for the evils of democracy
is not less, but more democracy. Our
institutions must be brought closer to
the people.
The insistent demand for the direct
primary is a wholesome symptom. But
no scheme, however sagely devised, will
ever be found automatic. We must
evermore bark back to the personal
attention and personal initiative of the
citizens, rank and file. The peoples
lobby is the corollary to the railroad
lobby and the Hobbies of other special
interests.
1T will furnish a suite of rooms In
which the legislators from both houses
can get together in friendly council;
where the absent constituent can send
his representative; it will afford the
focal point of public inspection and
scrutiny, and make legislative infamies
dirfleult almost to the point of impos-
silbility.
IN the endless struggle for the
maintenance of honesty in business and
politics, calling bad names sheds no
light and turns no wheels. ArousinE
hatreds among men contributes moth
ing but delay.
But we cannot expect the friend
ship and good win of incarnate roguerv
ana rascality, when we are attacking
unmasking and Furnishing them.
