The ancients accredited great anti

FOR A BUSINESS ADMINISTRATIONS

Fellow Citizens of Brownsville:
: So far as The Herald knows, there has
been no effort on the part of those who
usually make tickets for our city elections
to name the men who hal he elected a.
'onr mayor and city commissioner ON
Tuesday, December ii. Perhaps there is
no intention on the part of the professional
ticket makers to perform this service Cor
US this time.
\ What then?
Why not indulge in ticket making on our
own behalff
Perhaps a plain, citizen made ticket may
EeshlS fn securing for Brownsville what it
needs-a commission that win give u a
progressive and thoroughly business-like
administration
. The Herald would not presume TO name
This ticket. But it can point out some citi-
xcns who would be fully capable of giving
the city affairs the kind Of administrator
We need. If We were permitted to name n
ticket, we should, in fact. find it difficult
TO choose between those citizens who we
believe would make a city commission
that would meet the requirements-pro-
.rided they could give their time and at
~,tention to the work. The trouble j.. most
men of this description are 30 occupied
with their own private business that they
can i'll spare the time for public matters.
But, fellow citizens, perhaps we might in
duee some of our intelligent, capable, pub
Ec-spirited business men to see that it j.
their duty. as much as it is the other fell
lows duty, to give time and attention to
public matters. The success of every legi-
innate bushes. in the own depends largely
upon the success of the city government.
A city that j. well governed, that j. pro-
gressive in every respect, makes largely
for the success and prosperity Of it, peo-
pie.
Perhaps, if we should select the men, il
might be possible TO obtain their consent
to become candidates. Why not try.
Yours for a business administration
