gion he has given offense to many
members of hat organization by
speaking of the society in derogatory
terms, so that his appearance is not
greeted with enthusiasm where many

dition to this Gallagher is said to have
become the central figure in a local

The term Of. the mayor. and the
terms of half of the aldermen ex-
iplred in April. The city election to
detect successors to these men was
held in March. Would not the logical
lstep have been to hold a commission,
election, say. sometime in February?
IThe city government was about to be
F~eorganized. Had the commission
plan been adopted in February, in
stead Of electing a mayor and alder
men in March we should instead
have elected five commissioners. and
these commissioners would have taken
ohce at the regular expiration OF the
life Of the council. The procedure
would have been simple and ORDERLY.
Rnd would have required but one ex-
ira election.
