Taking the ground that laws for the
people of the District 90 Columbia, some
times involving large property rights. are
enacted by Congress under the present
system without ascert tanning the wishes
OF the majority of the people affected.
the Federation of Citizens Associations
has appealed to the District Commission
ers TO urge Congress to authorize ii to
have all the bills affecting the District
published in full In the daily newspa-
pcrs \ letter emb odying the arguments
of the federation in favor OF this plan
was sent yesterday to the Commissioners
By William McK. Clayton, president of
tire federation.
II is the belief Of members OF the fed
GRAFTON that such publicity would be of
great value to the citizens of the Dis
trict. keeping them Informed of legisla-
don which will affect their interests. and
giving them opportunities to ask for hear
ings. not only by the Commissioners, but
by the congressional committees.
In his letter to the Commissioners MIR.
Clayton says:
"AIl legislation affecting the District has
its inception in Congress, and bills are
Introduced:

Names on Quiet List

Much of the information which
will prove most valuable TO Congress
is expected to be acquired through
confidential statements to the com
mission on the understanding that the
names of persons giving the informa-
ton Will not be made public. The
bill provides for five commissioners
at $500 each annually not more than
three of them of the same party, APP
pointive for different periods at first
but automatically the tenures are
to become for six years. All, includ-
ing the chairman are to be appointed
by the President and the commission
ers are TO be confirmed by the Sen
ate.
Practical Endorsement of the Long
worth bill was made by John Chand-
Ter Cobb on behalf of the Nationa.

sident.

legislation creating our new form Of
city government was passed by u Re-

nature and spirit Of this legislation
demands that politics be kept en-.

true, and no one will attempt to deny
its truth, just think of the position 1t
places the Republican party of Logan
City in-first helping to create the
law, and second doing all 1t can TO
prevent the spirit and very purpose

noted that they are men of both po-

men; men, in a word heavily inter

welfare, and therefore anxious TO see

desire, but in response to the invita-
ton of the citizens, only four ont Of
the ten having been concerned la the
informal gatherings that proceeded

The object of these men in working
for the non-partisan candidates en-
be stated in even more direct terms.
They are anxious to have the spirit
OF the Legislatures law carried out
and the city election removed from
PARTISAN control, and have been ready
to make the personal sacrifices ne
cessary to bring that about when cal
led upon by the citizens to do so.
They as well as others, have recog-

wish for nothing further, are ready to

the Republican party of Logan City
cannot prosper or profit by any such
inconsistent conduct.
True, Republican politicians, who
are by no means the Republican par
ty. ten us that the Democratic party
first put up ticket and the Repub-
licans were compelled to follow as
means of preserving the identity Of
the local Republican party. This con-
tention only serves to multiply the
wrong. If your neighbor abuses his
family, are you Justified in following
his example by abusing yours? Is not
the father of a child more responsible
fer the protection and raising of
that child than a neighbor would be?
So it is that the Republican party,
the father of the new law, should
reach forth its hand as a party to pro
tect and foster that new law, instead
of making a deliberate attempt to
kin its own offspring as It Is now do
ing. So my conclusion, as a Republi-
can is, that when the Democrats put
up a political ticket in direct viola
ton of the spirit of the new law, they
did wrong, and when the Republican
part yfollowed them by doing the
same thing, 1t not only committed
one wrong, but two; list. 1t commit
ted wrong by attempting to kill its
own offspring, and second, by DELHI

war against the very spirit of law
legally enacted by the legislature of

Gentlemen, these are my views
and | speak them plainly. Politics
never should have played. a part in
our city affairs, and now that we
have law the spirit of which is
against politics in city matters, II is
a shame that certain politicians have
taken 1t upon themselves to act and
speak for their parties in such way
that the individual members of these
parties become more or less tainted
with the odium that must certainly
follow. Republicans. who love thei:
party, should rise up en- masse and
show these politicians who the Re,
publican PARTY is. and It would be a

How to Vote Under New System.

ner as the regular election; each vot-
ar going to the polls and voting for
the man, or men. whom he desires to
take a place on the final ballot. II will
be noticed that the names are ar.
ranged In alphabetical order, and
that the ticket bears no party desig-
nation. The law demands both of these
conditions. as means of keeping
politics out of the election. In the
primary elections all candidates will
be eliminated except the two men re.
ceiving the highest vote for any one
office. These names will then be plac.
ed on the final ballot to be voted for
on Nov. 18th; the regular election day,
and the one getting the majority vote
for any one office on Nov. 18th is ell.
ected to the office for the term speci
fled in the law.
The voters at the primary election
will take his ballot and running his
eye down the list of names will vote
for the men of his choice by placing
an X in the square to the left of the
mans name whom he favors. Thus;

names of John A. Hendrickson for
mayor. Hyrum Hayball two year

and Joseph Quincy, Sen, for auditor.
and would place a cross in the square
at the left of each of these names.
The voter should use care to vote for
