A MUNICIPAL PARTY
One Is Demanded Free from State or
National Politics.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir. There can be no question but that
every year the sentiment is growing
stronger that the city is merely bust
ness corporation and matters of state or
national politics should have no part in
the city's business This same spirit con-
dates for city Offices.
Notwithstanding the prevalence Of these
convictions there is no single organization
which can claim to voice this sentiment
about which would rally all its adherents
in any city campaign. As il stands, Jeal-
ouses and rivalries, POLITICAL or personal
ambitions are held to influence so many
aspirants that an effort at fusion only
seems to produce confusion. This same
mind prevails now. although loyal get
together spirit is very apparent. II true
fusion is 10 succeed. IL must follow con-
ferences of recognized leaders who repre-
sent all factions or divisions of citizens
interested In commanding respect Any
self-consututed body which seeks TO force
fusion in its own way and by its own
self-appointed candidates will simply sue
coed I'm adding to the confusion They
may mean well. but can only work evil
to the cause they seek TO promote So
called independents represent only an idea
and not constituency But there ought
TO be a municipal party solely for mu-
nicipal purposes, which should bar and
prohibit state and national politics. Such
party will secure an enrolment OF all
who believe in conducting the citys busi-
ness on business principles. II would
unity this sentiment II would not an
tagonize existing political parties nor in
terfere with their issues or programmes.
Why should not this idea be given prom
inence and be acted upon, even now? All
that is required to test public sentiment
in this matter is to obtain postal card
enrolment Of voters throughout the city.

New Move By His Attorneys
Causes Almost Hopeless
ENHANCEMENT
CASE is DECLARED
WITHOUT PRECEDENT
If Thaw Does Not Wish to
Leave He Can Stay In
Withd,aws Habeas
Corpus Writ

SHERBROOKE, QUE. August &c.
Harry Thaw's attorneys made an
unexpected move today, that appar-
entity has thrown his case into an al
most hopeless eutanglemen. The
habeas corpus writ was withdrawn.
AS a result Thaw is locked up on a
charge that his attorneys say is not
an offense against Canadian law.
Counsel for the New York officers
here admit that they don't know how
to force him from jail into court
room. 1t Is said that the immigration
authorities can't interfere under the
present conditions II Thaw wants
10 bide his time in the hospital ward
off Sherbrooke's Jail. he may be able
To do SO indefinitely.
The case is said to be without prece-
dent in the history of Canadian turis-'
prudence. Locally the move is regard
ed as a shrewd one on the part OF
Thaw's attorneys. They have at least
gained what they want. delay, and
they have done more. They have
slipped from a position where they
were on the offensive TO one which
permits them TO sit back and take
notes while awaiting n move by coun-
ael for the New York representatives

situation with CONSERVATION, or even
alarm.
Instead OF commenting at great
length. or little length, on a situa-,
rlon. the legal aspects of which he
says he Is not yet familiar with, he
straightaway set about to "disiliusion
Canadians regarding the real moral
fitness OF their famous prisoner. So
while Thaw was bordering over ways
and means OF creating sympathy for
himself in the Dominion Jerome was
speaking for publication in this way:
Jerome Assails Him.
I'D like TO tell Canadians some
thing about Harry Thaw. There is
little need of tickling New Workers.
They can still recall the details.
Some Canadians seem TO regard
Thaw as a martyr. No one Is perse-
cutting Thaw. Who wants TOT, New
York Is trying to get him back, not
because il wants Thaw, but because
the effect of his continued freedom at
a time when socialistic tendencies are
rampant in the country is bad. II he

that those millions got him out All
