HEAD new LEAGUE
HENRY NJ. LELAND ORGANIZING
MEN FOR BETTER MUNICIPAL
GOVERNMENT IN THE CITY OF
MISUNDERSTANDING DETROIT A
BETTER CITY.

Ordinarily the task of directing an
industrial organisation that employs
5000 men and that turns out $4,000
high-grade motor cars in one year
would be considered. sufficient to &C.
cupy one mans energies, yet Henry
NJ. Leland, advisory manager Of the
Cadillac Motor Car Co., Detroit, finds
time to take a very active part in civic
affairs. Mr.. Leland has always been
keenly interested in municipal govern
ment and the conduct Of a city's bust
ness. His most recent activities in
this direction were the formation of
the Detroit Civic Uplift. league and
voters information bureau. of which he
is president. The recent spectacular
and dramatic revelation OF Irregular
ties in Detroit aldermanic circles would
seem to indicate hat the automobile
city is In need of a non-parttsan MUM
cipal league.
Detroit, as every one knows who has
visited 1t, boasts of being the city in
which life is worth living. The aim
of the Detroit Civic Uplift league.
which Mr.. Leland is promoting, is ex-
pressed thus:
ficiency in civic affairs. To encourage
| competent citizens of moral integrity
to become candidates and to work and
vote for such for nomination and cleo
ton to office in the city of Detroit"
This sentiment and the general prtn-
cipIes of the organization might well
appeal to other American cities. The
declaration of principles follows:
ECONOMY of administration in civic
affairs is best obtained by efficient men.
Of moral integrity, Independent OF poll
tical af1liatfons. To such men we
pledge our support in their nomination
and election n in a faithful admin
istration of their duties when elected"
