The League and Its Policies.
Because of the mistaken views of
many people it seems to be necessary
that we again state our position and
what we stand for.
We area not an organization of So
called "reformers," nor are we advo-
Gates of the "blue laws
1t is one of our chief aims to elect
good men to Office. Once man is
elected to an Office, we want to do
everything possible to help him, and
we do not intend to prosecute him, but
if found undesirable, we shall try 10

next opportunity.

cation. We have members from all
religious denominations and from all
of the political parties.
Our whole aim in endorsing candi-
dates for Office, is to place those that
we consider to be the best candidates

motives in this. We wish to serve the
city and have it's welfare at heart. In
picking candidates, we investigate his
past record, business ability and his
promise. The fact that a man is not
endorsed is no evidence that we have
any personal feeling toward him, but
simply that we do not consider him
the best man for the job.
We feel that we have already gained
the confidence of the voters of the city,
as was shown at the recent primary,
when Fl out of the % candidates rec
commended by US were nominated and

 During the twelve years before the VoIstead act became effective We treated more than 125,0OO drinking men and women. Chicago and Cleve- land institutes treated more than 100 patients month.

 Light wines and beer drinkers have not generally turned to strong liquors. Home brewers are losing interest in home brewing Bootleg whiskey is binding and killing off it's patrons. Drinkers are not turning to drugs
 There are only three classes of drinkers left Those that have a home stock" those that still think they like to he sporty" and the un- fortunate monomaniac or dipsomaniac who Is incurablc Nature is taking off" all of these drinkers and if the Nolstead act is properly enforced we will have practically a dry country within the next five years.

SOCIALISTS SEEK CONTROL


 The fight over the city manager idea, however, is mixed up with red hot campaign for control of the com mission as it is now constituted. The Socialists. who have grown in strength tremendously in Dayton. as in other urban centers. have three candidates in the field The Municipal Voters League is also backing a complete slate, while the two old political or ganiZations are behind the candidates of picked men.
 Immense expenditures of public funds, caused by the floods of 1914, which resulted in heavy loss of life and great property damage there, have accentuated the public unrest. Unem- ployment, caused by the business de- pression. and the fact that Dayton was one of the towns which enjoyed tre- mendous boom under the impetus of war business. has contributed to the unrest among the workers.
 In Akron the city manager plan has not been in operation long enough to give it fair trial, but dissatisfaction over traction problems and mounting

taxes have been organized by oppo. nents of the plan and many sigma lures have been secured for the repeal of the proposition.
 On the other hand. in Cleveland Peter Witt. brought to Cleveland by the late Tom l. Johnson, long mayor of the city. as a traction expert. is backing an amendment to the present federal plan charter, providing for the city manager plan, and an organ ized campaign is now under way.
 PLAN MAY WORK IN CLEVELAND
 Here the manager group believes 1t has a chance of success because of the same ills counted upon in other cities to defeat the idea. Taxes have in creased. Carfare under the so-called Taylor grant which authorizes the traction company to charge a rate of fare sufficient to pay per cent inter- est upon the invested capital has gone up until now six cents is charged, with an additional cent for transfers, and the taxpayers are grooming under a constantly increasing load of debt
 Politics Is said to have reduced the efficiency Of all departments of the city government to a low ebb and the followers of Witt point to the city commission, with an expert manager" as a panacea. One Cleveland suburb with a city manager has been operat- ing year after year, even under war and postwar conditions, with a con stantly-increasing surplus. and this is depended upon as a potent argument Both of the old political organizations are prepared to fight hard against the change, but the Democratic OrganiZa- tion. torn by disseNsions within and lacking the efficient guiding hand of Tom l.. Johnson and Newton D. Baker. former mayor and later secretary of war. does not control a large follow ing. The same is true, in less degree, with the Republican organization, which is also rent wide by patronage and other fights.
 City managemtnt is on trial at three points, and the eyes of cities every where are centered upon Ohio, which may pronounce the doom or order the steady growth of the new idea in city government.
