Elections to determine whether the 'commission manager form of government Shall be established are to be held a number of Indiana cities next month. Mr. follows: number of Indiana cities wilt hold elections shortly to decide whether they wiUabandbn the present system of local party government and, as state, chairman, I am personally very much opposed on the merits of the commission and city manager forms of government, to their establishment. If I 1 honestly thought that the establishment of these now systems of city gov- ernrnent would improve local -government, I should favor them and say.so most emphatically. However, I.am that such Is not the -most Itn'portani consideration of ail government that it must be responsible.
