Short Ballot Offered as Remedy
For Ndme-Candidate Evil
By HUGH {. DAILY

Led by tho Murphys, the Smiths
and the WilliamSeS, a total Of SOS
name candidates have psraded be-
fore the voters Of Wayne County
during the past 20 years in local
state and national elections. Prof.
Maurice NJ. Ramsey Of Wayne Uni
versity revealed today In a survey
published hy the Detroit Bureau Of
Governmental Research.
The problem OF the name Candi-
date seeking office on another
mans reputation IS an outgrowth
Of Detroit'S non-partlsan system Of
government which emphasizes the
individual rather than a political
party, Ramsey explains.
Its solution can best be found
in the short ballot which would be
effected through a reduction Of the
number Of Offices 10 be filled by
public election. Ramsey believes,
ANOTHER HELPFUL PLAN
Also helpful in remedying the
evil would be the revamping Of the
Wayne County Circuit Court and
the subsequent staggering of its

FEW sLAV, LATIN NAMES

Names OF irish extraction APP
pear more frequently than any
other among candidates" RAM
sey said. "There are also many
names Of English and German
origin, but very few Slav and
Latin names appear.
This Is interesting In view Of
the large Slav and Latin popu-
latiOn I'm Wayne count. Their
absence from the ballot can par
TALLY be accounted for by the
fact that there Is a greater ten
dency on the part OF these
groups 10 AngliciZe their names,
and also, prejudice has operated
TO discourage candidacy on their
part"
Leading the list OF names candl-
dates since 1920 are Ill Murphys,
Ramsey pointed out.
Frank Murphy, justice OF the
Supreme Court, was name can
didate when he entered politics
In 1928" he said. Edward j.
Jeffries Jr. fell I'm the same cate
CORY when he ran for the Com
mon Council In 1891.
I'm these instances the candi-
dates proceeded TO prove their
right TO office"
ONLY liz NOMINATED
OF the vast total of name candi-
dates only 112 have been nomi-
mated and only 49 elected TO office,
1s of these being chosen as repre-
10 the State Legisla-
ture. Six such candidates have
been elected to Common Council
and five TO Probate Court.
The favorite office Of the name
candidate, Ramsey found, is that
Of state representative.
A total of LAB such candidates
have sought this post. Common
Council has attracted 81, county
81; common pleas judge,
%; Circuit Court, 81; sheriff. &c;
probate judge. Is; state senator,
So; United States representative,
30, and road commissioner, ID.
Most persistent candidate for
office was A. +. Kennedy, who
In 26 years competed for five
different positions In Is pri-
maries," Ramsey said. "John
'Carnation' Murphy competed
for four positions In seven pri-
maries and was nominated once,
and T. p. Dickinson competed
for seven positions In IL pri-
marles in IL years and was NOM
mated once. None of these three
was ever elected.
"In defense of the name candi-
date, Il would seem that though
a nuisance, NE Is a natural re-
suit of a non-partisan govern
ment without dominant political
groups.
His increase, both In num-
bers and success, Is one of the
surest evidences in support of
DetrOlt's claim 10 a truly nom
partisan government"

SiX-year terms so that six judges

instead OF is al one time, the re-

A further step would be the sub
sutution Of a single county auditor
for the present three-man board.
In his survey Of name candidates
i'm Detroit elections Ramsey found
shat the number hos been increas-
ing rapidly since 1880.
In 1926. 80 per cent OF all can
ddateS for public office in the
county could be classified as name
candidates. he reported. By 1929
this number had declined 10 s per
cent. but thereafter il increased

Press Women
Told About
Army Food
Miss Mary Barber
Speaker at Club
Luncheon Meeting

How Uncle Sam feeds an army of
over a million men in barracks and
in the field was explained by Miss
Mary I. Barber before members of
the Womens National Press Club
yesterday following luncheon at the
Willard Hotel
Miss Barber, who was loaned by a
national food company to the quar-
termaster generals office as food
consultant in preparing menus for
the greatly expanded national de-
fense army, brought samples of field
rations, many of which will be used
during Army maneuvers this spring
and summer.
The ratio of expansion of troops
in the Army today from its numbers
only a few months ago has been
the same as that of a family of two
suddenly increased to 18, Miss
Barber explained. To meet the
problem of feeding such a large
number of healthy young men, not
only in sufficient quantities, but ac-
cording to highest nutrition stand
ards, has been given extensive study
by national experts. The result is
that the Army is better fed today

than at least go per cent Of the
civilian population, she declared.
Mothers need have no misgivings
as to the type of food given their
boys. Miss Barber said, as each
soldier is allowed fruit, cereals, vege-
tables, fresh and canned meat,
cheese, one egg and one half pint
of fresh milk each day, in addition
to canned milk for cocoa and coffee.
Breads are usually baked in in
dividual mess kitchens, she ex-
planned, as are the cakes and pies.
Several photographs of field stoves
and ovens were passed among club
members during Miss Barber's talk.
The speaker explained differences
in field rations A, B, c and D, the
later an emergency ration which can
be carried in the pocket. A sample
of ration D, a chocolate bar
stabilized with oat flour and REIN
forced with vitamins, containing
about 600 calories, was also passed
among those attending.
Miss Barber told of experiments
being conducted in producing spe-
cial foods for parachute and ski
troops. Although these rations have
not yet been officially accepted by
the Army in their present form,
much headWay has been made in
this field, she said. She also dis
played a sample of "anti-fatigue
pills" which she said are used ex-
tensively by the German Army.
These pills, which are also in a
stage of experimentation, are excel
lent for relieving thirst on long
marches, she explained.
One of the chief complaints of
newly joined soldiers, Miss Barber
said. is the limited supply of milk
in a mans daily ration allowance.
Fortytwo cents day, the amount
permitted bV the Government for
Evening star., 1941-05-21

each mans sustenance, would not
provide larger quantities of milk, in
addition to meats, fruits and vege-
tables, she explained. Chocolate
cake is still favorite among Uncle
Sans fighting men, Miss Barber
concluded.
Josephine Hemphill, vice presi-
dent, presided at the luncheon in
the absence of the president, Helen
Essary.
