Praise for the city manage,

voting was gwen in a radio address
last night by Mrs. Edmund j. Abb
bolt. The speech was one prepared
by Horace d. Taft, of WATERFOWL
who was unable to tpeak because Of
The speaker denied that present
city employees would lose their Jobs
If the new charter is adopted by the
voters at Tuesdays referendum.
Mrs. Abbott said, in part:
of one thing, however, the en-
ployes can be absolutely sure, and
that is that if the old system is re-
tanned and a change of party comes
In the government, they will go out
to make room for the fAvorites Of
the successful party. That is the
essence of the spoils system.
THE teachers, of course, are
under the government of the school
board and do not come into the
question at all.
What authority can we cite in
favor Of the merit system? Well,
we have the national and state
platforms of both parties, these
platforms promising the extension
OF the merit system fro mtop to
bottom. The opponents of the new
plan claim to be good party men.
What do they say to this fact? We
nave, moreover, the word of the
three candidates for the governor
ship of Connecticut, all urging the
merit system in state and munich
pality. We have the voices Of the
eminent men of both parties, from
Abraham Lincoln down to AL Smith.
"As for proportional reprementa-
ton. we have the splendid expert
ence of the cities that have tried
it and that bear joyful testimony
to the splendid results in clean
government and reduced taxation.
An interesting fact bearing on the
proportional representation system
is that the Free State of Ireland
has used it from its beginning, and
the evidence Is that t has worked
admirably, especially in giving pro-
portional representation to minori-
ties. President De Valera says that,
even if it worked against him, he
would be in favor of it because it is
simple justice. On the other hand,
the Ulster government tried it and
gave 1t up because they found it re-
suited in the Catholics and Quakers
having representation In proper
ton to their numbers. Which policy
do you think the more just and the
more democratic?
