Pointing to “the political corruption and the rottenness in office” which exists today, and charging the Ame: can voter with the responsibility of bringing about a political reform John Hays Hammond, chairman of ent on politicia of the National Civic As: perating in the work of the ion, declared today that preservation of our democratic institu- tions can only he brought about 1 gh the education of the voter, and outlined the plans now being made to promote this education. Notwithstanding the fact that there will be involved great international and domastic questions of vital impo tance to every citizen,” Mr Hammond, “there are those who. pointing to the 30.000,000 vote slackers in the presidential election of and the 40,000,000 in 19 re predic ing a like slump in 1928, hecause. they declare, there is so little difference hetween the two parties that it is roally of no consequence which one wins, Recalls Former Times. one will deny that political conditions of our times are Infinitely better than in the days of th: Mobilier, the whisky ring sca Washington, the notorious briber judges and legislator Federal Rtate, by rai . not, to say < debauchery of State and administrations.

The joint committees to be organized at each of these meetings will be ex- pected to take up the definite work of edu_ating the members of its con- atituent organizations on the ques- tions touching most intimately the daily lives of our people—those ques- tions dealt with in the city and State legislative chambers. Meeting in December. “The political education work of the National Civic Federation will be dis- cussed from all angles at its annual meeting to be held on, December 14 and 15_at, the Biltmore Hotel in New York City.
