Tomorrow the people of Lawrence Mass., will elect officials to take office under the new charter, which will come into effect on Jan. 1. The adop- tion of the new charter, which pro- vides for a modified commission form of government, is expected to result in untold benefits to the city and the people. Under the old plan the affairs of the municipality had been going steadily from bad to worse The situation reached its climax some months ago when the mayor, the chief of the fire department and several other officials were sent to jail for conspiracy to defraud the city. The Citizens’ Charter Associa- tion was formed to wrest control from the hands of the alleged *graft- ing” politicians and to aid in the re- demption of the financial credit of the municipality, which had been all but-destroyed under the old regime. At the November election the new charter was adopted by an over- whelming vote. At tomoroow’s elec- - tion a non-partisan mayor, a school board of four and four aldermen at large will be chosen. be chairman of the school board and also director of the department of fin- ance and public affairs. Each of the other departments of the municipal The mayor will government. The iniative and refer- endum are features of the hew char- ter. Another provision requires that all city supplies costing $25 or over must be purchased from the lowest competitive bidder. THE PERIL POINT. The Sulzer resolution providing for the termination of the treaty with | ground of race and religion: ‘| diplomatic relations with Uncle Sam (Copyright, 1911) 13 by a vote of 300 to 1, reads as; follows: | “RESOLVED, by the Senate and} House of Representatives of the| United States of America in Congress assembled:‘ “That the people of the United! States assert as a fundamental prin- ciple that the righfs of its citizens | shall { abroad because of race or religion; | “That the government of the Unit- ed States concludes its treaties for the not be impaired at home or, equal protection of all classes of ils“ | citizens, without regard to race or| religion; “That the government of the United States will not be a party to| any treaty which discriminates, or which by one of the parties thereto | is 50 construed as to discriminate, be- | tween American- citizens on the “That the government of has violated the treaty between the United States and Russia, concluded at St. Petersburg Dec. 18, 1832, re- fusing to honor American passports | Russia ‘ | duly issued to American citizens on account of race and religion; “That in the judgment of the Con- gress the said treaty, for the reasons aforesaid, ought to be terminatetl at the earliest possible time; “That for the aforesaid reasons the said treaty is hereby declared to be terminated and of no further force and effect from the expiration of one year after the date of notification .to the government of Russia of the terms of this resolution, and that to this end the President is hereby charged with the duty of communi- cating such notice to the government | of Russia.” The closest vote in the House on an attempt to modify the resolution was 114 yeas to 185 nays. This was the amendment of Rep- resentative Olmstead to strike out the charge that Russia had violated the treaty of 1832 and to insert the state- ment that the discrimination against Jewish Americans was construed as:a violation of the treaty. The senate today is considering this matter and should it conform tol the action of the House, the Russian ambassador makes the threat that will terminate at once. R R RO 2 © WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY. '@ POOOOOOOOOCOO 0.8 Pays Tribute to Middleton.- Attorney C. R. Middleton and Mayor J. U. Williams returned Moii- day from the big Convention at St. Cloud, in a very disgusted framé of mind. The triumph of the politicians in the extra session fight was a bitter pill to swallow. However both gentle- man covered themselves with glory. Mr. Middleton was on the committee dealing with reapportionment, and found himself practically alone: in the plea for justice for Northern Minnesota. He madce a rousing fight, however, and forced the issue into the con- vention hall and got it before the delegates. - While he did not win he made a name for himself as one. of. the big men of Minnesota. He showed that he was not at the call of the politicians and the interests, and ‘he made many friends among those who have the real interests of Northern Minnesota, at heart. Mayor Williams gave him able assistance. Baudefte has every reason to be proud of its delegates. ~Baudette Region. “Cheer Up,” Says the Times, 4 We admire a man who when whip- HKussia as passed in the House Dec. ped and sent “way back to sit down” | Bemidji “Pioneer may be placed in{ge | tion-and -its determination to submit | | with the outcome of 2 scheme which | Try a Want Ad 5 7 can look pleased and come up smil- | titude -before the St. Cloud conven- after the cloud of discontent has| passed over.
