ELIHU ROOT HITS
AT THE BOSSES
Pleads That the People of New York
State Be Armed with the Short
Ballot

ALBANY, n. Y, August 81. = From
che floor of the constitutional conyen-
ton yesterday President Elihu Root
rained fire upon the system of bossism
and invisible government which, he
said, to his knowledge has dominated
New York for 10 years, and pleaded
that the people be armed with the short
ballot that they may establish their
own rule. tt Is all wrong, he declared,
that any other rule should exist.
"This domination, Mr.. Root declar-
ed, has caused a deep and sullen and
long-continued resentment among the
people at being governed by men not of
their choosing. They demand change.
The short ballot plan is a solution, or
at least, it may be the first step that
viii work out solution.
