The contro] of the council is at stake in the coming March election. Five councilmen are to be elected. And that control is, in many Ways, much more important than the election of a mayor. Under the present charter—and that’s the charter under which we will operate for another year, at least—the council may render the most efficient mayor a negative quantity. The council as it is now constituted and dominated does not serve the best interests of the city. There have been numerous shining examples of that. There’s a good deal of rotten timber in the | present council, and it must be uprooted and supplanted. Councilman Peirce needs only one or two more like Bruskevith, who is running for re- election, to again give him control. It’s not going to be an easy fight. Those intrenched in power never yield without a des- perate struggle. That is why the people must obtain the very best material with which to lick the daylights out _ of them.
