are said to call for enactnient by the LeRislatuiv
vf a nfoglvenntve direct jirimary bill. a short ballot
ronstitutinna! aniendment. a Massachusetts ballot
bill and the crention of a State Board of Kstimate

and Apportionmciit in this city. Thaao are excel
li'iit in-oposals. They will galn tbe approval Of
everv eleinent in the coinniunity siincrely desirous
..f lmprovetl political and Rovernmental conditions.
Many Kcpublican leadera are now on record favor
|t_g the short ballot. The Kepublican platform ol
1912 farored this reform and a dired [irimary with
proper ttfvf9r___f_b ^'r the voters as far up the
pollthal s.-ale ns le_rislators, but not to include
itate ofBcera. Bnt the ndrocacy of the Ifaaaacbn
