rolls, and six months after she was
first reported missing the crew were
officially declared dead and and life

Secretary Daniels and naval officials
believe the Cyclops lies at the bottom
Of the sea. They declare that the
heavy superstructure caused the shlo

MERRlAM'S PLATFORM

Charles L. Merriam, candidate for
the Republican mayoralty nomination,
urges the necessity of Chicago elect.
ing a mayor who can command the
confidence of both the city and the
state in order that the city's demand
fer home rule may receive just con.
sideration in the state constitutional
convention. Captain Merriam pointed
to his record as city legislator as a
guaranty that he will be able to press
Chicago's claims with expectation of
a friendly hearing. He issued a state.
ment setting forth in some detail his
views on the subject of home rule.
"A necessary plank in Chicago
platform is home rule in local affairs"
Capt Merriam said. "Chicago's gov.
eminent was made away back in 1870,
and since then there have been so
many changes In the world that the
old patched up plan is no longer ade.
quate. Chicago has outgrown the law
which fifty years ago was good
enough. What other business in town
is run OH an 1870 basis?
I'VE ought to have the power to
make our own city charter as we
want II: to adopt a non.partisan cleo
ton system, IL the people wish It; to
say what the machinery of local gov
eminent shall be, II we care to change
II: to make whatever local rules and
regulations we want, subject, of
course, to the general laws OF the
state. 1t is ridiculous, or would be II
It were not so serious, that Chicago,
the fourth city in the world, should
be Obliged to run down to the state
legislature for every little change In
its machinery or to get any additional
power necessary to keep up with the
times.
these Chicago requests not only
take up the time of the legislature
unnecessarily, but the lack Of local
authority to deal with local affairs
interferes with the growth of the city,
with the business development of the
community and with the daily comfort
of our people. 1t is high time that
Chicago be given authority to meet
the modern situation
Particularly ought Chicago to have
full control over its public utilities
gas, electric light, street and elevated
railways and telephones-if not under
federal regulation. In 1913 | was in
the front ranks of those who were
fighting for greater control over local
utilities in Chicago, but the people
we're not fully aroused at that time
and such power as Chicago had was
weakened by the law then passed.
Il am sure that every man or
woman who digs down for an extra
