to that end in that it fixes the re-
| sronsibility and enables the voter TO
put his finger upon the official who
is direlect in his duty and whose neg
| lissnce or lack of diligence is re-
sulting in harm to the community.
There is demand for rigid en-
spirit as well as in the technical in
terpretation and the formation of
new and better ONES that the needs
of the times call for 1t may not al
ways be possible to outline specifi-
cally how a needed reform Is to be
met but the right men in office with
tho right ideals can devise ways and
means, and his administration will
be supported if it is shown that he
has the best interests of the commun-
| ity at heart, and is working honestly
toward that end.
One candidate has expressed him
self in favor of a good and adequate
sewerage system and a good and ade-
quate water supply, citing these as
some of the most vital needs of the
city at this time. In this he will be
supported by the great mass of the
people who recognize the need and
realize the Importance of supplying
it. The question as to how this is to
be done as well as the problem of
how many needed things are to be
accomplished is a matter which is
to be left largely to the business ca
pacity of the officials entrusted with
the administration of public affairs.
1t occurs to the Herald that the
main issues to be raised and dis
cussd in this campaign are the ques-
tions of supplying pure water, proper
enforcing police regulation of the
laws in the spirit as well as the
letter and of guaranteeing business
administration looking to a careful
survey of all expenditures. These
are of pertinent and vital interest and
the people will be glad to hear how
the candidates stand upon them.
Then there is the further and equal
ly pertinent issue as to whether the
corporations on the one hand or the
elements of vice on the other shall
be influential in dominating the in
coming administration. These are
the issues that appeal to the public
mind and the ones that the candi-
dates can discuss with profit to the
community.
In this connection the Herald is
free to say that the public express
sion and past public and private rec
ords of the candidates Endorsed by
the Commission League are such as
measure up to the requirements and
responsibilities of the high positions
to which they aspire, and to the fur
ther conclusion that the voters will
make no mistake in entruSting the
Splawn, Redman and CrOcker who
can be consistently supported by all
who have the best interests of the
city at heart.

Pat Mullins has no use for the
newspapers for the simple reason that
the newspapers do not favor his can
The reason that the newspapers are
opposed to Mr.. Mullins for this high
office is that they consider him unfit
for the position, his Butte record mar
rated by himself to the contrary not
withstanding. North Yakima is not
taking its municipal pointers from
Butte, which since the days of Sodom
and Gomorrah, few cities have equall-
a wide open town.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-The first

THE APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE

How very noticeable it is that the
political campaign under the commits
sion form of government results in
an appeal to the people. Under the
old form Of nominations the people
were not consulted, but the prospec-
tive candidates depended upon lining
up the politicians. There were no
open air meetings, no publicity cam
paigning of any kind. The opposite
plan prevailed of holding secret eau
cuses and laying wires to secure NOM
nations.
The candidates personal platform
was not so much considered as his
personal promises to lieutenants who
delivered the nominal tons to him and
the rewards he offered in the way of
carving up the political pie. Plat
forms were made to get in on and
if broken to the people It made no
particular difference if good faith was
maintained to the powers that be-
and the influences that made and I'M
made politicians.
Under the commission plan with
its direct primary nominations the po-
litical boss is eliminated. His occupa-
ton is gone, The aspirant for Office
has to appeal directly to the people.
Instead Of the pull we have publicity.
factor in the campaigns and the pub
lie press becomes a new public forum
The old-line politicians will object TO
both methods, but they will be forced
either to one or the other even while
they decry both. They will object to
publicity but publicity has come to
stay and the days of the gumshoe
campaigning are over.
The candidates under the present
system are forced into the open and
from the inception of the canvass
there is a campaign of education.
There is an appeal to the people for
they are in a position to take the
initiative. A candidates lieutenants
are no longer his mouthpieces for the
people expect to hear from the can
didate himself and either in public
print or from the public rostrum,
where he can be made personally re-
sponsible for his positions taken on
pending political issues.
In the coming campaign, and in all
other campaigns under the present
form of government the people are
to be the court of last resort. The
candidates must present their case
TO them and from their decision there
is no appeal. This is new force in
politics and it will be effective in
curing many of the old time abuses.
Candidates may continue to abuse
the public press because they can not
control its utterances but they will
be forced to use it or the public ros-
trum to get before the people. They
must operate in the sunlight of pub
LEFTY and desert the secret chamber
caucus where they formerly operated
through the mechanism of political
pull.

MORE GOOD RESULTS
OF RAILROAD COMMISSION
Telegraph Tolls Reduced to Ely by
State Aid

Nevada Northern published a press
rate of half cent word on Febru-
ary lst. and because the territory be
ing served was thinly populated, de-
clined to comply with the request OF
the Western Union for joint reduc-
ton Of rates
This matter was taken up by the
Commission on its own initiative, and
is supplemental to the general rcduc-
tions which were made in the com
mcrcial telegraph rates OF the Neva-
da Northern" said one of the mem
bers of the Railroad Commission to-
day.
"The reduction IS quite substantial
in that it gives the newspapers of Ely
the benefit of the standard day press
rate of one cent word which is a.
good as any of the papers at other
points in the state receive. The
Western Union Telegraph Company
acted generously on our request for a
reduction in the Ely rates"
