No Glass Government for Richmond

~ iCHMOND voters spoke at the polls yes
terday and in unmisakable fashion
voiced their preference for George Ainslie
incumbent, for Mayor over John IIrsch-
berg labor candidate. who sought to un-
seat him. His denomination at the hands
OF the electorate means that the MAYORS
record has been approved. his adminisra-
ton Endorsed, and that Richmond is de-
sirous OF intrusting its rapidly growing in
terests to him for another term. Flatter-
ing as the result is to the Mayor, il repre-
SCENTS more than personal triumph for
him. That is OF merely incidental import
ance. for beyond that ii is the answer
Richmond gives to the challenge that it
should submit itself to the dangers and un-
certainties of class government.
SO far as Mayor Ainsles official record
is concerned. il has been a most creditable
one and Of itself entitled him 10 Il pro-
longation or his tenure. Since taking up
the duties OF the mayoralty. following the
resignation OF Judge Richardson he has
given Richmond clean. conservative, bust
ness administration. Hampered in the early
years by lack OF power attaching TO his
Office and the restrictions OF the Admin
istratve Board, his activities were sorely
limited. but recent months have witnessed
n change in the city government, COM
plete reorganization. with the Mayor as the
executive opportunities lie has measured up
fully. In his handling of the budget alone
and in putting the city on a solid business
basis for the first time in years, il not In
It's entire history, and all without the blair
ing of trumpets. he earned the votes that
were cast for him.
But il was the greater issue involved that
made this election one to stand out in his
tory and attracted TO il nation wide atten-
lTnin, l,hN 1lx.>
servativc Richmond to show OF strength.
It's acknowledged candidate was Mr..
Hirschberg. and to his support ii threw all
of its powerful resources There was a
time when ii seemed about to be success
full, but the conservatives seeming the dan
ger Of class rule, rallied to the colors, with
the result that Richmond will be spared
an experiment that has brought little but
disaster wherever it has been tried. To the
credit of organized labor be il recorded that
il did not vote solidly for the candidate who
carried its standard. Labor is loyal and
sound to the core. and many of its more
conservative members. students OF govern
ment. refused to support its political cause.
In that refusal may be read the reason for
the labor candidates defeat
AS to Mr. Iirschberg himself let il he
said that he made 4 hard, clean and COM
mendable fight. Personally he is a popular
citizen and his thorough grasp Of civic at
fairs is admitted even by his political enc
mics. 1T may be that he promised too
much. but il he did il was with the honest
intention OF trying to fulfill every promise.
Had he not attempted to array class against
class. and had been content to stand on his
record as citizen of long and faithful pub
lie service. the vote might have been more
evenly divided. and il is even possible that
the result would have been different
