Section 15 of the charter of Marsh
field lias the following provisions:
"All laws of this state regulating and
governing the general elections and
proceedings and matters Incident
thereto shall apply, as far aa appli
cable, and govern elections under this
act, except as herein provided, or ex
cept as otherwise provided by ordi
nance of said city of Marshfleld; Pro
vided, that nominations for the sev
eral offices shall be made at a meet
ing or a caucuc which shall be called
by the council, and shall be held not
less than ten days nor more tban 20
days preceeding such election, and
the NAMES CHOSEN AT SAID CAU
CUS BY A MAJORITY OF THE LE
GAL VOTERS OF SAID CITY WHO
SHALL ATTEND SUCH CAUCUS
AND TAKE PART IN SAID NOMI
NATIONS SHALL BE PRINTED UP
ON THE BALLOTS, AND NO
OTHERS, BUT AN ELECTOR MAY
WRITE IN THE NAME ON HIS
BALLOT." The above is an exact
copy of the charter. Mr. Farrin, city
attorney, claims that it Is a section
which gets inspiration from the old
New England town meeting, which he
calls the true democratia form of
government. Mr. Farrin has got the
Now England town meeting and
Tammany Hall mixed. He has also
read out of the section referred to
the words "BY A MAJORITY OF
THE LEGAL VOTERS." Will ho
explain how the section which re
quires the nominations to bo made
by having "the names chosen at such
caucus by a majority" can be con
strued to mean that one man could
under that democratic form name a
candidate and have his name placed
on the ticket? But everybody who
was present as the so called caucu
Jcnows very well that the above
section was not not complied with.
There was not a candidate chosen at
that meeting. Not a vote was taken
on any name. It would be interest
ing to learn how the gentlemen who
ran that caucus interpret the word
"chosen," and whether they con
elder that they have as much freedom
In such interpretation as they took In
running the caucus? Then again,
who are the "majority" of legal vot
ers by whom such candidates are to
bo CHOSEN? Tho Times called at
tention to this section of what Mr.
Farrin is pleased to refer to as "tho
much abused charter" and was very
mild in its commonts. It ought to
have said that It was a most intoler
able piece of stupidity or else a
wicked stroke of trickery, to have
such n travesty on "tho New England
town meeting" inserted in tho chart
er. Anybody can see with his eyes
shut that some unscrupulous future
chairman will sometime rule that tho
caucus must as a matter of law
VOTE on candidates and that tho
Bamo mejority may VOTE for tho
candidates of every faction and vote
down anybody it doesn't want. When
tho city has doubled Its population
again there- will bo a lot of "strang
ers" who, by virtue of a six months
resldeuco in tho state, and ninety
days' residence- in tho city, will im
aglno they have a right to interpret
this provision of tho charter. If
thoy do not happen to hoar of tho
practice of ignoring tho languago of
tho provision for "twenty years"
thoy are apt to say that a candidate
Is not chosen unless ho is voted on
and that In 1907 thoro was not a
candldnto for any ofllco legally on
tho ticket..
THE SAVJOH OF HIS COUNTRY
J. Plorpont Morgan It is a name
to conjure with. Whonovor tho gov
ernment at Washington, which rests
on tho shoulders of some oighty-nvo
million eaglo screaming, proud, royal
'American kings and queens, finds
Itself in financial straits, this great
and good man comes to its rescue
and kindly offers to take its bonds
and dispose of them. If it is fifty
million he is equally as generous. If
to take them. If it is a hundred
million h els equally as generous. If
it is a hundred and fifty million ho
does not hesitate. And his commis
sions are never more than tho most
he can safely take. But in this year,
1907, J. Plerpont Morgan has been
especially considerate. In 1893
President Cleveland is reported to
have gone over to Wall Street to see
Mr. Morgan and there Were commis
sions and dividends galore. But in
1907 Mr. Morgan goes over to Wash
ington to see President Roosevelt.
Tho commercial and industrial head
and capital of America is in Wall
Street. Everybody concedes that.
Washington only represents the heart
of the nation. It is refreshing, to see
that tho head has concluded to rec
ognize tho heart. Yes! Wall Street is
lost in wonder at the condescension
of Mr. Morgan. They appreciate and
applaud his self-sacrifice. They are
overcome with feelings of reverence
for tho man who had it in his power
to wreck his country and instead of
doing so saved it. Of course Wall
Street knows that the American peo
ple are a set of dunces to let J. Pler
pont Morgan or anybody else have
such unlimited power, or to support a
system of finance which plays eter
nally into the hands of Morgan, Roth
childs, and their kind. But that is
the theory on which financial systems
are based so, let us lift up J. Pler
pont Morgan, like a serpent In the
wilderness, and let us join his devotees.

APOLOGIES RECEIVED.
A little paper called the Campaign
er was received at the Times office
last evening and read with interest
and amusement. It was a neatly
printed little sheet which was and is
evidently intended as a special effort
to show that tho Times, in denounc
ing Indecent English, and the flaunt
ing of disorderly houses on the most
prominent part of the most promin
ent street of Marshfleld, was an at
tempt to connect the present city
government with those abuses. It
is true that some things have been
done in Marshfleld as intimated,
and in some instances admitted, by
the "Campaigner" which are not al
together defensible, but no member
of the present city government needs
to become a martyr on that account.
HMmro (a vot Hma floor frlon.la tn
correct some of these abuses which
your predecessors in office were guil
ty of, even before tho polls open next
Tuesday. Call the council together
quietly, let the people wake up some
morning and find that you have de
cided to place the city's houses of
f shame in some more secluded quar
ter, and also order published the
statement of the city's financial
condition which has been in careful
and diligent preparation for two
years past. You can do theso things
and should. Invito the people also
to some one of the council meetings
by giving ample notice in advance.
But get down to a business basis
and do business on business princi
ples. No question is made or will
bo made that Mayor Straw intends
to do what he thinks Is tho right
thing, but his epigramatic style of
speech does not necessarily Inspire
confidence and tenderfeet who might
otherwise invest money in Marsh
fleld really are liable to misunder
stand him. If tho Marshfleld city
government will get down to business
and preparo tho city for its great
future, apologies like tho Campaign
er will not bo necessary.

THE TIMES' COLUMNS OPEX.
The gentlemen who are managing
Dr. Straw's campaign have charged
that tho Times would not puhllsh
their communications. That is a
mistake. All communications which
tho writers will sign their names to
and which are not political will bo
published free, If not too lengthy
and othorwiso proper. All political
matter will bo published nt tho
usual rates and this charge will bo
made on either side. It costs some
thing to publish a paper and tho
Times Publishing Company con
siders tho regulation no moro than
night. Tho supporters of Dr. Straw
may uso tho spaco of tho Times on
exactly tho samo terms that tho sup
porters of Mr. Smith may do so.
