The chart at the right is to illustrate how the Good Government League is organized
Keep in mind that many more professions and businesses are included in the Ad-
visory Committee of the Good Government League than those shown. In fact forty five
oustanding citizens comprise that committee.
You will note that 0 small part of each circle is taken out and combined with other
small parts to make up the Good Government League. The League, which represnts a
cross section of the people of the city, then selects capable men ond women of in-
tegrity to seek office in the city and school government. The candidates selected are
then presented to you for your consideration in the city selection.
Without the Good Government League or a similar organization to select candidates
for your consideration there would be a tendency for the candidates to be selected
by one of the groups represented by a circle and then the candidates would not be a
representative of a cross section of the people but only of special groups *
Cities that have tried the Good Government League plan have developed into great
and well managed cities.PS
