JUDGE MURPHY MAKES
Z STRONG DECLARATION IN
FAVOR OF SHORT BALLOT
Says Ministerial Offices, With
Routine Duties, Should Not
Be Elective
VEST POWER IN FEW MEN
Would Have These Elected on
Non-Partisan Basis
Points Out Benefits

The Detroit Rotary club held its an.
nual birthday dinner in the Griswold
house, Friday night Judge Alfred J.
Murphy was the principal speaker.
The usefulness OF such a club as
this in promoting civic spirit and IL
helping TO create a healthy public
opinion Is one OF its best features.
said the Judge You business men
when it comes to determining the
question OF municipal government, are
concerned about, what? Your con
cern Is to get an efficient, responsive
and honest administration OF munici
pal affairs. A municipality is only q
greater household. Its problems, on
larger scale, are only the problems
OF the individual household. Partisan
ship or an alignment upon principles
OF federal government, or any con
sideration foreign to the effective run
ming OF the municipal household
should be divorced from the selection
OF city administration.
Yet, next fall you business men
necessarily absorbed by your cares
and responsibilities, are expected un
der the present system to cast a dis
eliminating ballot which will select
your federal officers, all of your state
officers, all of your county officers, all
OF your city officers, all of your legis
lative officers, and all of your ward
officers. To do this intelligently and
conscientiously as to each OF these
officials is a greater task than should
practice, TO be quite impossible
These ministerial Offices, whose func.
tions do not affect matters of policy
and whose work is properly merely OF
clerical or routine character, should
not be elective.
Pick out the positions which have
TO do with determining administra-
tive and legislative policy. Make
them conspicuous, as they would be
by eliminating the non-important Of
ices, and there is a chance to exer-
else discrimination. The voter will
thereby be given a short ballot The
light OF inquiry will have to be turn
ed upon a comparatively small mum.
ber OF candidates.
In addition. let the scientific skill
with which modern business is con.
Quoted be made the basis for run.
ming the business of the municipal
household. By vesting power in a
few men, conspicuous, and clothed
with responsibility they cannot
eyade, and proceeding to their choice
upon non-partisan lines, gain in ef-
ficiency, saving in expenditure, and
a delegation of the spokesman who
looks upon municipal office as a polit.
ical reward will, in large measure,
be accomplished"
A birthday letter from General
President Paul p. Harris. of Chicago,
was read and several members of the
club, including the president, G.. E.
Knisht, who was reelected, and Sec.
retary ID. II. Bower, who was also
continued in office. made brief re.

minor. as If to drown the emo Of

and is again treated with charming
variety, the whole closing with anoth-
er climax in which the opening SUBJ

The Andante begins with an intro
ductory passage for the horns and
h%assoons. the double BASES accom-
panying p~izzicato, leading up to an
other lovely theme given out by the
violins. After n striking development
of this theme the second subject is
stated by the clarinets with string ac-
compartment, repeated by the oboe
with an addition of a new phrase, in
which the flute Joins. The whole or
chestra follows with stately harmony.

up to Il new treatment of the second
theme by the strings. Then follows
the customary repetition in brilliant
detail. The Coda is full Of melodious
beauty. and closes this delightful
work.
