Excerpt from Civic Lessons From Mayor Mitchel's Defeat Since the motive of this reminder is to help voters and leaders of any place at any time remember what was clearly seen just after the election of 1917, the reasons for Fusion Reform's defeat are stated almost' entirely in the words of headlines, news items and editorials that expressed and affect ed public judgment in 1917. With few exceptions, further more, the story is told by strongly pro-fusion and pro-mitchel speakers and organs. Because this attempt to draw civic lessons from Fusion Reform's defeat must necessarily deal with issues that were bitterly controversial in 1917, some readers and reviewers will ask for the attitude of the authors and the Institute for Public Service toward' municipal reform. To meet such in quiry without interrupting the story, Exhibit II tells briefly how the Institute for Public Service has worked for efficient, socially-minded government in city, state and nation. Suffice it here to say that we not only believe in reform but believe it is possible to get it and to keep adding to. It no matter who's elected, wherever voters are currently given essential facts about official acts and community needs. Cessation of Cooperative Criticism, page 59, was the major and chief reason for Mayor Mitchel's defeat. For a summary of civic lessons for future use by Ins, Outs, Independents, Teachers and Students see page 84.
