Abstract

The Week

This article highlights some international issues. A national conference on good city government is to be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on the 25th and 26th of this month, when various gentlemen connected in one way or another with the work of municipal reform will read papers or make addresses. It is unfortunate that the Republican National Committee has endorsed the proposition to admit as States Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. But apparently the Republican managers have concluded that they stand as good a chance as the Democrats of controlling half or more of the proposed new States, encouraged to this view regarding Utah doubtless by their party's recent victory for the first time in a municipal election at Salt Lake City, Utah.
