Common Council Tuesday out Ola pos

/, is estimated that there ar. 1000
men in Richmond who could vote. but
$4,000 of these have not qualified TO
vote.
The electorate OF Richmond is 50
small that 1t is practically controlled
BY an incompetent majority OF incom-
ipetent men. Some Of the ballot boxes
Tucsday were guarded by the city en-
pioyes and others who owed allegiauc
10 certain of the candidates. The very
presence OF these men at the polls was
an open defiance OF the spirit of decent
and honest election laws
If 5000 more voters could be added
to the electorate, the power of an evil
+ minority would be broken. and gov
srnment by the citizens would be sub
sttuted for government by city en-
ployes.
The present situation is this: the city
employees control the electorate Be-
lhause they control the electorate, they
can elect their incompetent candidates
10 the Administrative Board. In other
words. the city employees and the cut
.tlehsh politicians to-day control the
management of the city's business
The only way to wrest the admins

employe trust is to add 5000 moro vot-
ers TO the electorate. That must be
