0lC W
NEW BRUNSWICK, April as
From present indications it appears
as IL Edge. Frelinghuysen. Stokes
and Griggs will make up the<Repub-
lican Big -Four to the national ON
vention of that party from his state.
The organization seems to be against
Runyon on account of being a dry
candidate. while Raymond appears
out of the question on account OF
turning the organization down last
fall.
There seems to be a great deal of
opposition here TO Ferd Garretson
securing the position of d~elegate-at-
large from the third congressional
district. 1t is said hat the organiza-
ton Is against Garretson securing the
position because of his stand on the
n-on-acceptance of the backing of the
party to run for the position of
~ clerk last fall.
Garretson was the strongest man
to run against Cannon, and when he
refused TO run on the Republican tic
ket it was understood That he was
out of politics. For hat reason the
organization in this city does not see
why he should come out for this
position.
1t is also stated here that Garrett
son and Morgan larson. president of
the Republican Club, and the Repub-
licans as a whole in Middlcsex county
did not back Hilker for the position
of county clerk as they should have
done. Inasmuch as Larson is hand
ling Garretson's campaign, 1t is said
their failure to support Hilker
last fall is another stumbling
block in the way of the Perth Am

Studying Home Rule

The Kiwanis and Rotary clubs are on the
right track in their consideration of the home
rule measure. Before the citizenship can act in
diligently on this proposition, it must have
information. The best way to obtain this know.
edge is from the utterances of men who are
authorities on the topic or have had experience
with the workings of the commission or man
agerial form of government.
The underlying principles Of the two systems,
if rightly understood, will conclusively prove
their superiority over the existing system, and it
will not take the citizenship long to make up it's
mind that either is infinitely preferable to the
present regime.
Conditions in our own municipal system are
so thoroughly demoralized that most Of are
willing to go to any extreme to obtain better
ment.
But this change in the form of municipal gov
eminent can come only by way of legislative en-
actment. Indiana cities will be powerless to
change their municipal government if the state
legislature does not pass bill giving to them
the right to make the change if so they elect.
The way to change lies through the legisla-
ture. To obtain action there, it is necessary that
measure be introduced that it be reported out
Of committee, that it be passed by the two
houses, and receive the signature of the gov
ernor.
1t is obvious that only an excellent law is
wanted by the cities which desire change. Good
provisions cannot be written into the bill if the
makers do not understand their subject thor
oughly and acquainted with the weaknesses
OF similar measures that have been enacted but
have not produced the desired results.
1t is also clear that politicians who are inter-
ested in the preservation Of their machines will
not look favoraby upon a measure that will take
municipal government out Of their hands. That
they will try to obstruct this legislation, perhaps
even try to destroy it's effectiveness by amend
ments, is to be expected
Consequently, an alert public opinion must be
created at once to support the effort that is to
he made in the general assembly. This senti-
ment will be the result Of meetings such as the
kiwanis and Rotary clubs are planning to hold.
1t is step in the right direction.
