CHICAGo's $1,000 ALDERMEN.

the United States
As the Municipal Voters League point
ed out in its recent report. Chicago IS
essentially q council governed city. The
Chicago council Is q more important body
and is possessed OF larger powers than IS
the legislative body OF any other Amer

should be governed by council action.
However. the mere increase Of salary IS
no guaranty that the public viii get men
with abilities 10 correspond 10 the higher
pay.
Undoubtedly. the prospect OF larger
salaries has brought into the field some
aldermanic candidates OF broader calfbeT

same tine. il has had the effect OF max
ing the position more attractive TO small

authority are such terms laid DOWN

two simple bills already passed by the
House-one repeating the section Of the

price Of gas TO s. cents. 10 which
should be added an amendment limiting
the percentage OF carbon monoxide IN the

whose temperament and training especial

was an earnest Republican. he had ad-

member OF the national convention which
had nominated the lately defeated can

Thus. although Col Wright-who had

admit his honesty, but they don't think
he has the qualifications that are neces-
sary TO successfully pilot the ship Of state
And there is no indication that they will
ever change their opinion in that respect.
Therefore. II he were to be the candi-
date OF his party in 1912. or should make
the platform and dictate the ticket. the
probability is that there would be an
other Democratic defeat II the Demo-
cratic party is to win in the next Presi-
Dental election Il viii have to cut loose
from Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Bryan's policies.
Assuming that such IS the sentiment Of
the Democratic leaders. wouldn't It be
the wiser plan for the South to let II be
understood now that Il doesn't intend 70
encourage Mr.. Bryan's leadership Of the
next campaign or his nomination. If he
should develop an ambition 70 lead the
party in the next Presidential certest2
IF the South should make it clearly IN
derstoOd that IL has lost confidence in
Mr.. Bryan's ability TO lead his party 10
victory, and that IL was not in sympathy
with all Of his teachings. there would be
nothing left for him 70 do bat TO resign
the leadership into other hands. II the
Democratic party should shake itself free
from Mr. Bryan's leadership the Bryan
following would cease TO continue its agi-
tatiOn in his behalf. and the way would
be clear for a campaign that would have
a fair chance OF resulting in victory.
