The Society for Ethical Culture conduct
Cd q political meeting last night at its as

West. at which the members heard the re-
csnt charter analyzed with reference TO it's
hearing on the coming election by Presi-
dent Mitchell of the Board of Aldermen.
controller Prendergast and Borough Presi-
dent McAneny.
AS the latest official utterance made by
the Mayor on what he has called the per
feet charter" Mr.. Mitchell displayed the
.'Crimmns letter." which has been put be
fore the public within the last few days in
the form of display advertising
I'm not surprised that it has come 10
advertising" said Mr. Mitchell I'm not
surprised that the Mayor can't get the peo-
ple 10 listen longer 10 his views on the
.perfect charter without advertising-n
fact, I'm not surprised that he had TO ad-
Sertise in order to get those views into the
neyspapers But ] would Ike 10 know.
and [ think the people have a right TO
know. who was so interested in getting
those views before the public that they
paid for the advertisements.
Mr.. Mitchell declared that the paramount
issue OF the present campaign was the
question of Assemblymen. Another AS
semblv such as the last would pass just
such charter as was blocked by the
weight Of an aroused public opinion this
year. said Mr. Mitchell.
Mr.. McAneny voiced the same opinion in
different words The last Assembly. ne
said. was controlled and dominated by
mister Murphy of Tammany Hall" and
the return Of those Assenlblymen would he
taken bv that political boss as a warrant
for repeating his attempt 10 pass the
charter.
There is no doubt whatever" said Mr.
McApenv. that if the Assembly should be
again Of the Murphy stripe the charter
would he Immediately revived. If these
Assemb,vmen go back the charter will he
passed. and that charter would give to one
man. the Mayor. greater power than is en-
loved by any absolute monarchy in the
world. As Mr.. Mitchell pointed out 1t
would nut into one mans hands the APP
propriating. the expending and the audit
ing functions of this city's money. Ana
added 10 that. the charter would put the
control Of budget making and of subways
into other hands than those you selected in
