Such a man is sorely needed at this time, for the new charter lodges in the mayor's hands greater powers, authority and responsibility than- the office has ever known.

In fact, there was a question concerning the .regularity of the ballot It was moved that a. new ballot be taken. But Mr. Glass arose in his seat in the Convention and asked that this be not done,! but that the nomination of Mr. Leeds be declared, unanimous., It was remarked on all sides that' this gener ous action on the part of Mr. Glass en titled him to consideration four1 years hence.
