JCach Commissioner Is to be elect-
ed for a term of three years, and
the nomination and election are both
to be non-partisan, there being no

the idea being to get tho men elect-
ed who are tbe best qualified for
office, irrespective of their political
affiliations.
Claremore is a city with a great
amount of money Invested, and to
administer this Investment economic-
ally yet progreoolvely. takes a maa of
bratal, one wfee «on understand the
various workings of the departments
and has a clear Insight Into business
This is something unlikely to hap-
p««n under the old system, wbero a
man Is elected to tho council or to
the mayor's chair on his prsonal pop-
ularity or because be happens to be
of tbe same political complexion as
the majority of tbe voters in his
ward. Also, it ia impossible to place
the blame for mistakes and to cor-
rect the evils under the old system.
Under commission form of govern-
ment. mistakes are not impossible, bi^
the heads of tho various departments
are responsible, and the recall is pro
vlded in tbe charter so an irrespon-
sible bead of department can be re-
called by the vary men who elect
|Uim to office If be does not do bia
duty.
There will probably bo much dis-
cussion over the charter now that
It is ready, and tho Messenger
