BY JOHN Il. STOLL.-

years ago, a wealthy young man,
named Vance Mccormick was in
duced TO become a member OF the
city council. He succeeded in putting
through that body "a number of re-
forms that worked a remarkable
transformation from bad to good. His
efforts in these directions attracted
public attention and elected such
pronounced cOmmendation as TO ere
ate an irresistible popular demand for
his nomination for the mayOralty by
the Democratic partrSNith which he
affiliated. that he finally consented.
reluctantly, however. to serve one
term. Though the city was over
whelmingIy republican, Mccormick
was triumphantly elected and gave
the municipality a most excellent ad-
ministration. A Reelection was
sought to be thrust upon him, but he
fatty refused when assured that a
republican could and would be NOM
mated who if elected would continue
the reform policies inaugurated by
Mccormick. In both instances dis
tinctive party nominations were made,
but the reform element in both par
ties voted independently for the man
who was deemed worthy of their sup
port. Mccormick. like our own
tOwnsman. Patrick A Joyce. proved
his wOrthiness for the mayoralty by
the excellence OF his record in the
council.
Most people remember something
about the rottenness of the city gov
ernment Of Pittsburgh. Pa. Any
number Of those connected with con-
tinuOus Republican administration
of the Smoky City" were convicted
Of bribery and sent TO the peniten-
tlary. When the time came for elect
ing a new administration under a new
charter there was some talk about
putting in the field a citizens ticket
but the reform element in the Re
publican party said No, They con-
ferrcd with the uncOrrupted leaders Of
the Democratic party and advised
them to put forth assuring efforts TO
nominate a strong. upright man for
mayor and steps would be taken to
secure sufficient repu blican support
to elect him in that impregnable
stronghold of repu ublicanism. The
Democrats found and put up such a
man in the person of George w. Guth-

WHAT EXPERIENCE HAS TAUGHT In OTHER CITIES
COt1ESlVENESS OF SUPPORT ESSENTIAL TO
MUNICIPAL ADMINISTRATION

In preceding chapters it has been
shown that the mere matter OF a may
orally nomination. or rather the form
of such nomination, is not the all-im-
portant feature OF a municipal con-
test. AS forCefully stated by the late
Mayor Gaynor in his letter to young
Oklahoman, the essential point to be
considered and determined is the
qualification and the character of the
man TO be placed at the head of the
municipality. In support of this
proposition may be cited a number of
cases with which students of munich
pal government are more or less IA
miliar.
Let us first consider the experience
of the people of the greatest city In
this country, the city of New York.
As a result of the reform movement
inaugurated in that city by Samuel j.
Tilden, the Democratic organization
put In nomination for mayor that
sturdy citizen and statesman. Abram
:. Hewitt. He received not only the
support of the party that nominated
him. but that of thousands of Repub-
licans who recognized in him the right
man for the right place. Later on
this was supplemented by the .nomi-
nation and election of Edward Coop
ct. DIOlDeI-lH-ldN Ol MI. F1eWltl anu
son of the revered philanthrOpist, Pc
ter Cooper. Both of these nomina-
tions were distinctively democratic,
and yet both received substantial re-
publican support. Both administra-
tions gave eminent satisfaction to the
people in general. In more recent
years a sort of Citizens movement was
inaugurated in Greater New York
with Seth Low as it's mayoralty can
didate. Mr. Low had the reputation
OF being a full-fedged reformer. and
a man of excellent purpose. But his
administration was adjudged "A failure
largely on account Of the incongruOus
elements that elevated him TO office.
Had he been the selection of a COM
pact organization. or a party Of en-
during vitality. with cohesiveness in
its makeup. the probabilities are that
the record made by him as mayor of
that great municipality would he far
more TO his credit than can justly be
claimed even by his most devoted ad-
herents and his most ardent admir-
ers.
