Senator Kinke1 of Morris county,
the Progressive leader in the senate,
introduced a bill this morning recog-
nizing the third party in this state.
This measure gives the Progressives
the right to circulate petitions based
on the vote for Henry J. Allen for
presidential elector. Under the old
law governing the circulation of petit
tions it would have been impossible
for the third party to receive nomin-
ations on account of the rules for sig
natures.

THE FUTURIST'S CITY.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright. is1s. by Frank Crane,

In the welter Of the city election cam
paign l went to my friend. the Futurist,
and asked:
Tell me how they will govern the city
when you have your way
VERY w,ll,' he replied. But, first,
have you not noticed how absurd this
campaign is? What are the people sup
posed to want? Simply an efficient and
honest administration. Is that discussed.
and does any candidate set forth a pro-
gram. different from the wasteful and
crooked methods we have had heretofore,
to attain that end? No! The air is full
Of banded epithets and charges. It is
the kites and crows quarrelling over the
spoils."
Tell me how your Future City will do
things"
First. the city will be governed by a
commission, composed OF men of stand
ing elected by the citizens at large.
This commission will hire a mayor,
who shall be an expert IN city manage
ment. He will attend to municipal ar
fairs precisely as the manager of a de-
partment store or railway manages his
concern. He will be as trained and tried
in civic business as the superintendent
of schools is experienced in his calling.
