All names will appear m ballot in
alphabetical form. If say 1000 legal
ballots should be cast at The election
it would require 1901 first choice
votes to elect a commissioner. If
more than 5 candidates should re-
ceive over 1901 first choice votes,
the five with the highest votes would
win. If only two for instance, should
get a majority of first choice votes,
then the city clerk who tabulates the
returns the day after election would
add together the respective first and
second choice votes of all other can
didates receiving first choice votes.
If the combined vote of any of these
candidates then totaled 1901 or more
that candidate would be elected I'M
less more than three received a ma
iority on the combined vote, in which
event the three highest would be
elected. Should only two be elected
by this method leaving another still
to be chosen, the clerk would add in
the respective third choice votes of
the remaining unsuccessful candi-
dates. If this combined vote should
not give majority, then the fourth
choice votes would be added and the
man with the resulting highest COM
bined vote whatever it might be,
would be declared elected. In the
event of a tie between candidates
having majorities after the addition
of either the second third or fourth
choice votes, the candidate with the
highest number of first choice votes
would be elected. Should the tie
remain unbroken, the second and
third choice votes of these candidates
would be compared, and should Meth
err of these aid in solving the prob
lem, the clerk would then direct de-
cision of the matter by lot. 1t is
necessary to vote in this election for
candidates, no more, no less, in the
first choice column, and that not
more than 55 men may be voted for
in any column except the last.

The Cabinet Crisis In England.

In composing the coalition Cabi-
net in England a mistake was made
when the post OF Attorney General
was bestowed upon Sir EDWARD CAR

the appointment the Nationalists
could see nothing but a reward for
political services rendered the Union.

moral sense Of Englishmen as we'll as
Irlshmen. and Of all thoughtful men
in the realm, that a politician who
had exposed himself to prosecution
by the Government should he selected
for the responsibilities Of chief prose
cutor. 1t was TO the credit Of the
Nationalists that they waived their
objections to Sir EDWARD CARSON, but
even patriotism would not stand the
strain OF the elevation of the King of
listers active lieutenant JAMES II.

lorship Of Ireland, with It's exTensiye e

that Mr.. AsoUITH stand by his offer

1t Is amazing, and to patriotic men
It must be humiliating, that In the
solemn hour OF England's extremity

Germany's violation of the neutral
rights Of American citizens on the
high seas.
Moreover. we think II would be
highly interesting to learn from Mr..
BRYAN whether. as matter Of fact,
he does not know that the German
Government was approached, months
ago. by well known personal agent
Of the Wilson Administration on the
subject Of this very treaty which he
says was accepted "in principle"
Is not Mr.. BRYAN perfectly aware
that President WILSON'S friend was
frankly told at Berlin that the war
party in Germany would never con-
sent to such a convention?

further, in fact, as TO be almost

the right Of our citizens to travel at

unarmed merchantmen Of the belliger.
ent nations. and the policy Of warning
citizens against such adventures. and
actually preventing them II. as Mr..
BRYAN dubiously remarks, 1t can le.
gally he done. That Is a matter which
Mr.. BRYAN might very properly have
brought up in Cabinet meeting when

matter on which he might very prop

struction from international lawyers
more capable than himself. But to
