( Editorial.)
UP TO THE CITIZENS.
Out of over 2UU0 voters iu Chicka-
tiha only about 60 attended the meeting
held last night for the prpose of
launching a movement for the com-
nisslon plan of cii y "government.
.Malty heavy property owners and
:ltl.etis who have large Interests at
stake were conspicuously absent a
act which Mr. Dw-ya." commented up-
in in his remarks.
Now we might just as well recog-
nize at once that neither eoiumissiwn
government or any other system will
e a success unless our citizens gen-
rally take an active personal Interest
In It.
This is true every day and it
particularly applicable when the mat-
ter of changing our form of govern-
neiit is under consideration.' System
our.ls for much but citizenship means
Infinitely more.
if the new form of government is
o be successfully launched and a
barter written which will be approved
by all classes all citizens must inter-
est themselves in the movement. The
'ilstory of other cities which havVad-
;pted commissions shows the extreme
iilliculty that is encountered at every
Hep. In .Muskogee a charter has just
been written and is ready for submis-
sion although the movement started
over two years ago. In other cities
charters have been .written and voted
down.
The commission plan will have
smooth sailing here if all our citizens
nianifest the degree of Interest which

: ORGANIZE
A LEAGUE
To Promote the Commis-
sion' Form of Gov-
ernment At a meeting of about sixty citizens
at the City hall last night a "Commis-
sion League" was organized Col. T. J.
O'Neill being elected president and C.
C. kirkpatrick secretary.
An executive committee was named
to act with tlie president and secretary
in taking all necessary steps to launch
a movement for tlie commission form
of government In Cliickasha. The
chair appointed on this committee W.
S. Staley B. ii. Bridges A. S. Gilkey
and G. H. Evans.
Col. O'Neill read the statute which
sets out the steps whereby the com
mission system may be adopted iu
Oklahoma cities.
A number of citizens made talks in
which the commission plan was strong
ly commended.
T. 11. Dwyer made a practical talk In
which he endorsed the commission
plan aud urged deliberation ati J care
iu launching the movement. "Then
are not an many property owners men
who have interests at stake in this
meeting as I would like to see" said
he. "it seems to be that the first
thing to do is to appoint a committee
to canvass the town and ascertain the
sentiment .of the people. We can
make this movement go if we set
about it properly."
L. It. McManus made a talk urging
prompt action and Dr. Gannaway
urged immediate action. B. B. Bridges-
thought tho first step should be to cir-
culate petitions requesting the mayor
to call an election for the purpose of
submitting the proposition.
Win Staeey said from what he knew
of the system he was in favor of it
but suggested that it might be well to
j consider whether in vietv of tu? cc'uJ
tyattd.state. campaign it was an op-
portune time to launch if. In the heat
of political battle it. would be difficult
to eliminate partisanism
J. F. Bishop was in favor of the
commission plan but wanted to know-
more about it. He said all citizens
the man of small property as well r:.-i
the until of large holdings was inter-
ester in the proposition.
Secretary Kirkpatrick was in favor
of the commission plan and he thought
every citizen should be a politician.
The men who held aloof from politics
were chiefly responsible for bad poli-
tico. Rev. M. L. Butler who lived two
year.- in Redbwids Calif. under tho
commission form of government said
the system was a decided success iu
that city. "
