New York is Becking better- citr government through the agency of fusion can didates for office, and now Phila delphia falls In line with plans to overthrow machine control of city affairs by uniting the better ele ments In all parties. New York fuslonists are fiehtina Tammany. Philadelphia fuslonists are fighting the eanally corrupt Penrose-McNichol machine. Tam many is Democratic; the Penrose McNlchol combination is Republi can. Tammany is. opposed by John P. Mltchel, fusion candidate for mayor. Mr. Mltchel is collector of the Port of Ne York by appoint ment or President Wilson. It is equally aignlflcant that the, Phila delphia . movement for fusion was started by the Woodrow Wilson league, an -organization of progres sive Democrats in national affairs, but the sort of party men who rec ognise the danger of clinging to party same when a city'a welfare is at issue. Inviting all decent men to loin them, members of the league have effected a tentative' agreement whereby Republicans, Democrats and Progressives will meet and agree upon councllnianlo tickets In all the wards. Philadelphia's city council haa . long been under con trol of the Penrose-McNichol ma chine, a control . perpetuated be cause voters clung to party name, and the bosses were able to retain their hold on the dominant uartv. Voters were Bwung Into line at city elections by national issues, having nouung to ao with municipal af fairs. The result waa inevitable: Philadelphia gained the unenviable reputation of being one of the Worst governed cities In America. Intelligence is learning how to fight corruption. Honest men are coming to see the folly of allowing inemaeivea to be herded under a mere name. Partisanship, has no place in municipal politics, for city issues are associated la no 1 way.
