E DITTO RIAL l..
TIFToN's SUCCESS.

sion-city manager plan of govern
ment proved in Tifton-the same
plan it Is proposed to install in Amer
icus-that the Triton Gazette has
come forward with the suggestion
that the same plan might profitably
be applied to the county. We have
no doubt that the suggestion will be
given most serious consideration by
the people of Tiff county because
they have seen the plan in operation
and experienced the fact that it has
paid big financial dividends in mon
ey saved the taxpayers and in in
creased efficiency of governmental
functioning.
But it should be borne in mind that
the vast majority Of the people OF
Triton have contributed to making
the plan the success it has been by
locking upon the plan sympathetical.
ly and attempting to do their part to
make it a success, rather than by
holding back in the breeding and
doing their best, by whatever means
fair or foul, to defeat its adoption
first, then cripple its operation after
its adoption, as has been done in
some places and as it is apparent
some forces are attempting to do
here as the movement for a change

The Modltriea Observer discusses
the city-manager movement sanely
In recent issue. 1t says:
The city manager plan is gain
ing ground in Georgia. In Triton
they have tried it successfully.
Quitman is now operating under
the new plan. Columbus has it
in operation, and in Augusta they
are to vote on making a change.
There are many other towns and
cities in the state that have tried
out the management of the city
affairs by one man rather than bv
committees named from the city
council.
Much depends on getting the
right man of course.
A good manager for any business
is hard to get.
The advantage of the citv man.
agerplan is that it putsresponsibili-
ty on one man. 1t places the au-
thority where the public can To-
cate it and deal with it, Under
the ordinary plan of running mu-
inequalities you have so many to
deal with that it is difficult to get
action. There is no one with suf-
ficient authority to act quickly or
IN an emergency. There is no one
to think and to plan for the city as
whole. Each worker is Just car
rying a part of the responsibility.
A city is not run as an ordinary
business.
You cannot get the service that
you get from corporations. The
place where we are entitled to the
best service we generally get the
poorest service, and this is due to
the lack Of correlation and eff
cheney more than to the absence
of ability and willingness to give
service.
People are demanding the quick
est and best service now. They
demand it Of stores, public service
corporations and all. Cities must
be in position to give that service
that modern business is giving
Maybe the manager plan is a
reaching out for this service.

sion of the tariff marked the address
of 7. Frank Appleby. Republican

istration.
Great compliment was paid to the

pleby for this part in the develop
ment of the railroads and the great
buildings that are the pride of Amer

GERAN EvADES G. O.. P.
STRONGHOLD IN OCEAN

NEW EGYPT, Nov.>3.-A Demo-
cratic meeting in this out of the way
Republican stronghold is a rarity
seldom witnessed by even the Oldest
inhabitant, many of whom were
numbered in a large audience that
filled the hall in which Elmer II.
Geran, Democratic candidate for
congress, held fourth last night.
Mr.. Geran spoke as follows:
Public sentiment, public opinion,
like radio, travels unseen, but, felt
none the less. So we feel public SEN
timent wherever we go favorable to
Democratic success. It is confined
to no section. We see its effects
manifest in New York, Massachu-
sets, Pennsylvania, Indiana, South
Dakota, where the progressive ele-
ment in politics is driving the old
guard to root. Even in Ohio, the
presidents home state, we witness
this reaction by the people and we
see the administration rushing every
available force into Ohio to try to
stem the tide that flows for Democ-
racy. And here in New Jersey DEM
ocratic success is in the air and the
administration is alarmed and is
sending into Jul state a lot of for
eign talent.
This is what I hear from the man
on the street: L voted the Republi-
can ticket twenty times, but this
year 1 and my family are going to
vote the Democratic ticket. We have
been fooled by the Republican adj
ministration. They have not made
good On their promises of 1920. They
were going to reduce the cost of liv-
ing. Instead, they raised the tariff
and increased the cost of-everything
We have to buy. They were going
to adjust taxes. But all they have
done is relieve the rich of their n
come and surplus and excess profits
taxes. The Republican party has
collapsed and I afr~through.'
IN four years the Republicans
have passed two pieces of legisla-
ton of any Importance. One decreas-
ed the taxes of the multi-millionaires
and the other increased the cost OF
living"
During the day Mr.. Geran can
vassed in Cassville and other towns
adjacent to New Egypt and was we'll
pleased with the reception he re-
ceived in that section of Ocean
county. Today he is in Middlesex
county speaking in a number of diff
ferent towns. At noon he was sched-
uled to attend a complimentary
luncheon given by the Business
mems Club of Perth Amboy.
