Mayor Macrae, In response to an lnvl
vlUtlon addressed - to the Counrll Bluffs
Pastors' association yesterday morning, on
"Borne of the plfflcultle of Clrle Adminis
tration.' -prefaced his remarks with tho
statement that a municipality . must he
riih .on imich the same plun as a private
business. !.The difficulty of running a city,
he contended, was la Tirol y due to the form
t government, which, he contended, was
too. cumbersome.. Ia explanation, he said
that 'wall the wards were ef different
slse and the' condition existing In them
are materially different the control, of
each and all must be by the Joint council
For. Instance the wards tn which the most
-r;eVd streets arc be ound were clamor
ing for a street sweeper, while the wards
"in -the.dutlylng districts, where the streets
are, Vet uiipaved, cared little or nptli.
Ing for the same. Mayor Macrae gave It
as his opinion that if the government of
the city .was carried on under what Is
known art the Galveston system; conditions
would be much Improved.
Referring to the difference between the
lrwme -'.of the. city derived from dlre V.
taxation of property and the expense' of
running the municipality. Mayor Macrae
cited he fact that the city taxes brought
It "but t&OOO in round numbers, while the
expenses were over ltl,nT)o. The deficit, ne
explained, had to b secured in some man
ner" to fceep the city's credit good.
May Macrae, suggested that conditions
coold be Improved if both political parties.
Instead of expending so much money at
each election, would turn this money over
for the use of the city and thereby assist
In maintaining an enlarged police force.
Id this connection he said:
- 'Problem of Ward Heelers.
In many of the wards there are four
r flv ward heelers and when there Is a
strife between the. two political parties
it -is tha work of these men to secure from
twenty to thirty votes from each ward.
For this work the ward heeler generally
. grts about 150.
In one 'ward In this city In a recent
election at least whs spent by botn
pnrtles buying votes for which from M
to $2 each was t.tilil. Tnu would be sur
prised at some of the rltlsens. of the place
who are generally known as respectable
men, .standing around all day and wait
ing -until the last few moments before tho
polls, are. closed to see who would give,
(hem ths most money.. Sometimes they will
'take a man -around the corner or a couple
n blocks and As him, and It Is Impossible
' fat-- the small ponce force to. -handle this
, problem!. . It would be well for a citizen's
committee to stay around the polling places
w-Hh ..a convenient-' justice of the peaon
and arrest every man on the spot who
, ewuld .be .caught at such work. ..

DEMOCRAT WO
I
Secure Rtrth Members of School Board
ad the Treasurer.
The school election yesterday resulted In
a complete victory for the democratic
ticket, Kinmet Tlnley and George A.
Schoedsack being elected members of thr
Board of Education and George 8. Davis
being elected school treasurer. All three
were elected by good sited majorities.
While ther was no excitement around
the polling booths, there Was evidently
much Interest displayed in the election and
the result was a good sixed vote. The
democrats apparently had everything their
own way from the opening of the polls,
and even In the wards known to be strongly
repuhliian the' figures snow that many re
publicans must have voted for the demo
cratic nominees. In the Sixth ward, which
Is supposed to be strongly republican, the
democratic nominees polled a vote of I to 1
against the republican Candidates.
The contest for school treasurer would
have been an exceedingly close one but
for. the vote given George Davis, the demo
cratic nominee, in the First ward. Hers
Davis received -lot majority over McQee.
At the democratic headquarters last night
there was considerable jubilation, as Chair
man Hughes and other leading members
of the p-rty took the result of the school
election as an Indication of another sweep
ing victory at the municipal election to be
held March 2.
