to defeat Councilman James j. Nc
Ateer, Democrat, who is seeking re-

The would-be invaders. who, prob
ably believed Mr.. Faichney would
accept their offer with the fullest
degree of graciousness, were taken
back when they learned the G. o. p.
candidate would have absolutely no
hand in what he termed "a sore
head movement"

campaign" said Mr. Faichney today.
II will not sling any mud nor VIII

CITY MANAGER
PLAN DEFENDED
Progressive MayoraIty candi-
date Also Criticises Present
Form of Government.

That his plan to have East Orange
government changed to the city man
ager scheme is not a fond and fan
ciful dream is declared in a state
ment given out today by Henry l..
Gilbertson. Progressive candidate for
mayor of that city. Mr.. Gilbertson
says the proposal was made only
after a careful analysis of the charter
and several years of thorough OBJ
servation of the workings of that
system.
THE East Orange charter might
be worse" he says, but not much.
1t would be too much to say that it
was especially designed to blockade
progress, but that is its effect in
practice. 1t puts a premium on small
politics and small politicians. 1t vio-
lates every recognized principle of
good organization. To specify:
Our mayor. whom the charter de-
dominates chief executive, is
manacled at every possible turn. He
Is charged with serious responsible
ties, but is carefully stripped of the
powers which he needs to make his
office effective.
"Take the matter of appointments.
Every new mayor finds, on taking Of
flee, that the most important func-
tions of the city assessments, fire
protection. police regulation, water
supply. Fairgrounds, etc) are COM
mitted to unpaid land hence ire
sponsible) boards of leading citizens,
who doubtless consider themselves
not as subordinates of their theo-
retical chief but as self-sacrific-
ing pnblic-spirited citizens, which
they unquestlonablv are.
For the first half of his two-yeaT
term, majority of the board mem
bers are men appointed by the
mayors predecessor. They may be
quite hostile to the new executives
policies and bent upon making his
administration unpopular At the
end of this period the mayor gets, not
control but an indirect influence over
majority in most of the bodies; bui
should one of his own appointees
turn against him he would have the
DEVILS own time getting rid of him
for the council. which has to approve
all removals, may be looking fol
nothing better than to embarass his
| honor"
