elblllty of success,
IF YOTJ had a large business and it was being run eco
nomically and efficiently at a very small percentage of
cost, "would you tiirn out your manager, who had made
good, simply to give someone else a chance to try his hand
at it, because he wanted to experiment at your expense?
Or would 'ou discharge your tried and proven servants
at the instance of some loud-mouthed malcontents who
tried to raise "rough house" to satisfy ambition or grat
ify spleen?
No, you know you would not? If you did your busi
ness wouldn't last long, and you would soon be numbered
among the failures.
That is just the position the city of Mddford is in to
day, and you, as a citizen, are in also. You have public
administrators who have proved their capacity, their dili
gence, their honesty in administering the city's affairs,
which are your own affairs. It is to your interest that
public affairs be conducted in a businesslike manner.
Why, then, should you contemplate a change, simply be
cause someone else wants a chance at your expense to
show what he can do, or some others want to satisfy per
sonal grudges and even up old scores, also at your expense?
You will not experiment in your own business, or take
chances of loss. Why, then, should you experiment in the
public business, which is your own also, and run risk of
loss?
J'n the coming city election, follow the same course that
you would in your private business retain as public serv
ants those who have shown their capacity those who have
made good and kept the city in the van of progress, and
thereby made money for you.
What is the sense of changing to untried men and run
ning a risk of loss, when you can have those tried and. not
found wanting?
It is a mere matter of business, of dollars and cents to
