Sir.-Some people are most active
in trying to create the impression that
because the recently proposed charter
was defeated. the citizens of Whining
ton are satisfied with the present city
charter Let no one be so easily de-
ceiyed The people voted down that
charter because it was a backward
move. The vote against that charter
shows oonclusively that the citizens
who desire economic and just gov
ernment in our city are in the vast ma
lority. That vote showed the follow
ing facts
The citizens of Wilmington are in
terested in civic questions The citi-
zens Of Wilmington are capable of
passing a just and intelligent judg-
ment upon civic problems The citi-
zens of Wilmington desire and de-
mand good government, and Will rise
in mass and reject that which is
against the welfare of the city The
judgment Of the citizens of Whining
ton is nearer right than that of any
smaller body OF men. even though
that body be q commission of lawyers,
doctors, professors. or any other dis

mington are sufficiently strong in in

ences let them once have the facts

That overwhelming victory of the
people for good government argues
most eloquently that the citizens of
Wilmington need only 70 know about
the commission form of government
to desire to adopt H. Wherever the
commission form Of government is
adopted IT is giving satisfaction be

Under the present form Of our gov
