They will merely confuse the issues and muddy the Let us give the frecholders free rein to formulate the ‘mew charter without being handicapped by petty details. We are about to take up a pretty large question—the adop- tion or rejection of the commission form of government. The adoption of the commission government will ob- | viate the necessity of the charter amendments proposed by Goddard and Peirce, even if they are amendments worth while _ under the present form of government. 4 The March ballot will be plenty long enough without @nnecessary charter amendments, that deal with mere details, and would have to be swept aside when the new charter is presented to the people. - Don’t clutter up the issues, Messrs.
