PARTISANSHIP PASSING
LIMINATION of partisanshiD
from municipal politics is be
ing accomplished, perhaps
siowiy, out surely. 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.
