' 'Aay reader '(Of average v ecmpvfetrwn

'PIED TKE AYlELOTTE LETTER
AFTER HAVING VOTED AT THE

The very first sentence of the State
Council of Defense letter pounds
home the taroporition ' that
“IT' IS NECESSARY THAT MEN
BE ELECTED TO FILL CIVIL 'OF-
FIGES DURING WAR TIMES AX

Now don't read tttia editorial and
-then go around asking some&oily what

wand insist on reconciling the "two
propositions as consistent with each
Other are badly brain-befuddled
There is in this action of the State
Council of Defense no Inconsistency
-when composed' with the ether de-
mand of that iiody that “if a (member
of the executive committee of the
County Council of Defense becomes a
nondidate for office automatically he
resigns an the executive commltttee”
It sets down the absolute primary
principle to start with that IT IS
NECESSARY THAT MEN BE
ELECTED (by the voters them selves
at regular ejections) TO FULL CIVIL
OFFICES1
Not only did the County Council of
Defense vote to endorse the State
Council of Defense letter but It rati-
fied Its own action in April that pri-
mary elections and general elections
in this county should he KNOCKED
OUT until after the close of tho war!
And this is where this action places
them — in

premkUtatedly studiously and with
contempt advocates the abolition of
