ROUSING THE ANIMALS
Our esteemed contemporary is apparently beset with
the fear that the voters may select the men they want
lor the new city council. Nothing else can explain the
fcuggestion that some of the candidates, who.-e names are
riot given, should be scratched because they were not in
favor of the city manager plan before the special election
at which it was approved.
Once or twice before we have mentioned the fact that
nothing will tend to antagonize the large body of voters
who were opposed to the plan more than such an attitude
on the part of the victors. With the beautiful little pri
mary system now in effect, our contemporary apparently
does not realize that the minority, the people who voted
gainst the plan, can really control the election if they
are goaded into organizing to do it. How simple it is:
There are nineteen candidates. Of these, using the figures
Even by The Times, only three or four are believed to have
been against the plan.
If the city manager advocates are really going to at
tempt to deprive the minority which didn't lack so very
many votes of being a, majority from any representation
n the council, the result may be that this same minority
k-ill get together, and instead of scattering their votes
among the nineteen candidates, concentrate on the men
who think as they did. The supporters of the plan will
Matter their votes among some sixteen candidates. The
opposition, which is said to still exist, can win hands down
fey confining their votes to the men who think as they do.
As vet. no attempt has been made to do this. But
nothing leaves so many sore spots as elections of this
Fort, and our friendly advice to the strong adherents of
the manager plan is to let well enough alone and not lose
their victory after they have won it.
The Herald does not know of a single candidate who
was a strong opponent of the manager plan either before
or after the election. We do know the candidates, how
ever, and are frank to say that we do net think there is a
tingle one among them of small enough caliber to deliber
ately set owt to discredit the plan if he. should be fleeted.

THE AMERICAN LEGION
(Lincoln Star)
From the national headquarters at Indianapolis comes
the report that the American Legion has developed into a
full-fledged American fighting organization during the
past year. The membership has been doubled and 3,417
posts'were added during 1020. Posts were estpblisbed in
the furthermost corners of the globe, including Argentina,
Belgium, Santo Domingo, Peru. Chile, China, Guatemala,
Japan, Poland and Samoa. Starting 1020 with fifty
branches ami 5,000 members, the Women's auxiliary .fin
ished w'th 200,000 memlfers and 1.700 units.
Nothing could be more gratifying to true Americans
than this wonderful growth of an organization whose in
fluence for patriotism and good citizenship has been
demonstrated in countless ways. Members of the legon
have come to the support of law and order in communities
where lawless elements sought to gain the upper hand.
While keeping aloof from partisan politics, the legion has
taken a determined stand on vital public quest -ons.
The Gifford-Byrum bill reducing sal
aries of code secretaires to $3,000 per
year was put to sleep by the house in

was 57 to 34. Had it been left to the
