causo of the wrongdoing. He ma be

girls could give, and for lliiuor dealers
who may be charged with veiling lluunr
to minors. One boy has agreed to takn
tho officers to a place where the boys
and girls bought liquor. Arrests are ex

1 think it much better to give ten
minutes' consideration to candidates for
office before voting for them than o
pend ten days after the election wonder
ing whether or not the officials are really
fit for the place." said Kdwln H, Cas-
rels of Chicago In a talk on tho short
tallot before the Commercial club at
noon. ;
He had several exhibits of the long
ballot which he used to Illustrate his au.
dreys, one of which was n ballot trom i
New York City, fourteen feet long. ' It
was Impossible," he said, "to vote th.it
ballot Intelligently. Jt was full of un
desirable candidates who were given
votes In many cases Just becahso their
names were pronounceable or looked fa
miliar after having been posted around
on billboards."
The long' ballot and the spoils system,
said the speaker, encourage the political
boss more than anything else. It was his
plan to have only thoso officials who have
to do with the policies of the government
placed upon the ballot, these officials
being given the responsibility of appoint
ing men to technical positions under
them.
It Is next to Impossible to get the best
technical men for public positions by
popular vote," said Cassels, "Such posi
tions should bo filled by appointment."
Hy taking these positions off the. ballot
and leaving only those officials who have
to do with tho policy of tho government
and those whose offices are conspicuous
anough to demand attention the ballot
can be shortened, he explained.
