alS koenig was only part of the
: ian fght between koenig and Charles
Murphy, and solely an attempt to
! sillesd the voters.
The only issue in this campai IN
hsAat Of the indenendence of the iu-
ixiary,r he continued. "The> fight ,s
nj besveen individuals, but between
hsboss system and an ideal.
sShsl the people or the bosses rule ?
Bull . man be driven from the bench
kasse he would not bow to the bosses
II shail he be returned there for an
Af term in spite Of them?
These questions are not new in the
issnry of the town. Since leaders have
i Hatshfd and been replaced by bosses
1 A.m have been efforts made time
4 aRt time to break down the indie
4 etdence of the courts and make the
!!dsts subservient to the will of the
4 HNs. Some times the people have
xs sad some times the bosses tenn
s,srily triumph. But the fight has
pc on from year to year, for the
kse know that the courts are the

sThen before has the issue been

AHAExuse of owning both machines.
Uste voters defeat both bosses and
Mafve the courts?
Can 1t be done? Certainly it can
she people only know and exercise
m power. The old party colum, S
N been done away with and now
lW those votes are effective which
cast for individual candidates.
it is obvious TO all that Murphy is
|Aperately anxious to be the czar Of
Ia Surrogates' Court-to control it
@elutely and without condition or
|aslacation. The reason for that
nxety can be readily understood
xssn it is recalled that 90 per cent
q oil the property in the County of
Mr York passes through the court at
Alst once in every thirty years. More
sAan $5o0,000,000 pass through the
seuft every year. In the time have
hem Surrogate sum more than twice
g large as the cost of the great Civil
Var has passed through it. Is it any
wonder that the boss would like 60 be
tue supreme master in such court
