The meeting '\u25a0-. place of the > election \u25a0 din t rlct asso- ciation* should bo th* district schooiboiue— «, place Mr Kissel confidently believes that he has solved the problem uof how to induce citizens to take an active interest in politics at the beginning, that Is. in the primary elections. He also believes that his plan would eliminate the saloon and other baneful Influences, and that It would place political organizations . beyond the control of designing bosses and without th« Influence of the man who is ready to spend his own or other people's money in*order to accomplish his or their selfish pur- poses in conventions or at the polls.' He shapes his proposition on the much advocated desire to have the voters take part in the makeup of party organizations ana. to Induce them to participate In primary elections. v Like many, others, Mr. Kissel believes that the roots of political organization should be ' planted : in the election districts. But 1 in addition to that he advocates tho nourishing of the .-..-. i in the public schools." Concerning this proposition Mr. Kiss«l had this to say yesterday: i . . That Is John Kissel's Plan for Political Organizations. A novel proposition In connection with party politics la suggested by John Kissel, a business man and former Republican leader, well known In the Vth Assembly District of Brooklyn. Mr Kissel's proposition is that the basis of political organization should be laid In the public schools of the city, where the citizens, would. if his plans were carried out. start in politics as they did in boyhood studies, on an equal footing and under auspices where personal merit would win its own reward. It is something like the old town meet- Ing idea. TO MEET IS THE SCHOOLS. Miss KatH V. Barnum, of Wynsum. M-rrick. Long UaaA tom returned to town, and is at No. 77 Columbia Height.-;, Brooklyn.

This expense is more than a large number of officers are able to stand, and the result is that a number of excellent - officers have resigned. These changes are mostly due to those made la the army uniform, the National Guard following: suit whenever the army has made a change In its uniform. These alterations have been very numerous in the last eight years. The heavy ex- penditures enforced on officers for uniforms has become so burdensome that meetings have been held to see what can be done toward getting some' relief from the legislature. It has been pro- posed that a bill be Introduced asking for a lump sum to be distributed among the officers of the Guard who have been obliged .to spend some Jl5O or more to equip themselves with new uniforms since the passage of the new militia law. Another meeting will be held for discussing measures for reli.f at the armory of the. 47th Regiment next Saturday night, when representatives of different regiments will be present. ' I Mayor-elect George V. McClellan has already promised that the :3d Regiment will be the first command he will review after he assumes office. This review will be held some time in February. Colonel Austen, 4 th. 13th. will review - the Kit Regiment next Saturday night. General Barnes, commanding the 23d ' Regiment, has appointed Lieutenant W.J. Travis Battalion Adjutant, vice Potter, resigned.

XATIOXAL GUARD NEWS, where every man will feel that he has an equal right, an equal claim, with that of any other man interested. Do not misunderstand me. I am not proposing to do away with leaders. That would be to put myself down as a crank. We must have- leaders. Just so lonar as one man excel* another In any- thing, the attendant results will be that acme men will lead their fellows. But I do propose to do away with the bosses In politics, and I propose to begin at the beginning-, to die at the very roots, and eliminate them from controlling the primaries anil the conventions. Conventions would result In something more than a mere mockery of .required form to legalize the orders of the bosses, and there would be something like recording the will of the people. It can be accomplished t>y bringing: the voters of the parties together as free men once a month In one of the Assembly district school- houses. There are rooms enough in our up to date school buildings to afford every election district association a meeting place on the same night. It would mean nothing more than that for two nights in a month the school building would placed at the service of the enrolled citizens of the two great party organizations. Even that might be reduced to one night in a month by. using two buildings in an Assembly district, one party using one. an.l the other the second building. The meetings would be held on Friday nights, so that there would not be any chance of disturbing things on a following school day. ... - The ever increasing and apparently mad desire or unscrupulous men to get control of the public In- terests in this great city makes it absolutely neces- sary that something be done In the near future to bring about a cleaner and more wholesome opera- tion of our party politics,' and I cannot see a more simple method of starting along that line than to foster the beginning of all the political affairs of government in the public schools. Let us lay the foundation of party affairs in the educational classroom rather than In-the factional or machine clubhouse, or, to come nearer to some of the truth, let us have politics that are not nurtured by the dregs of beer glasses In the back room of a saloon. Let us purify the political atmosphere from the reeking mixture of tobacco smoke, whiskey fumes and profanity. This school plan would put every man on an equal footing with his fellows. There would be no occasion to avoid the importunities of club mem- bers to join associations with which many men are unable to keep up. .- . Mr Kissel was the organizer of the John Kissel Republican Battery, an organization that has a roll of several hundred members. He was one of the Presidential electors who voted for William Me- Kinley and Theodore Roosevelt for President and Vice-President In 1900. --•.« In Every Detail The Leading Retail Establishment of Brooklyn.

Mr Kissel confidently believes that he has solvedthe problem uof how to induce citizens to take anactive interest in politics at the beginning, thatIs. in the primary elections. He also believes thathis plan would eliminate the saloon and otherbaneful Influences, and that It would place politicalorganizations . beyond the control of designingbosses and without th« Influence of the man whois ready to spend his own or other people's moneyin*order to accomplish his or their selfish pur-poses in conventions or at the polls.' He shapeshis proposition on the much advocated desire tohave the voters take part in the makeup of partyorganizations ana. to Induce them to participate Inprimary elections. v Like many, others, Mr. Kisselbelieves that the roots of political organizationshould be

'planted:in the election districts. But1

in addition to that he advocates tho nourishing ofthe .-..-. iin the public schools."

Concerning this proposition Mr. Kiss«l had thisto say yesterday: i . .

That Is John Kissel's Plan forPolitical Organizations.

A novel proposition In connection with partypolitics la suggested by John Kissel, a businessman and former Republican leader, well knownIn the Vth Assembly District of Brooklyn. MrKissel's proposition is that the basis of politicalorganization should be laid In the public schoolsof the city, where the citizens, would. if his planswere carried out. start in politics as they did inboyhood studies, on an equal footing and underauspices where personal merit would win its ownreward. It is something like the old town meet-Ing idea.

- officers have resigned.These changes are mostly due to those made lathe army uniform, the National Guard following:suit whenever the army has made a change Inits uniform. These alterations have been verynumerous in the last eight years. The heavy ex-penditures enforced on officers for uniforms hasbecome so burdensome that meetings have beenheld to see what can be done toward gettingsome' relief from the legislature. It has been pro-posed that a billbe Introduced asking for a lumpsum to be distributed among the officers of theGuard who have been obliged .to spend some Jl5Oor more to equip themselves with new uniformssince the passage of the new militia law.

XATIOXAL GUARD NEWS,

where every man will feel that he has an equalright, an equal claim, with that of any other maninterested.

Do not misunderstand me. Iam not proposingto do away with leaders. That would be to putmyself down as a crank. We must have- leaders.Just so lonar as one man excel* another In any-thing, the attendant results willbe that acme menwill lead their fellows. But Ido propose to doaway with the bosses In politics, and Ipropose tobegin at the beginning-, to die at the very roots,

and eliminate them from controlling the primariesanil the conventions. Conventions would result Insomething more than a mere mockery of.requiredform to legalize the orders of the bosses, and therewould be something like recording the will of thepeople. It can be accomplished t>y bringing: thevoters of the parties together as free men once amonth In one of the Assembly district school-houses. There are rooms enough in our up to dateschool buildings to afford every election districtassociation a meeting place on the same night. Itwould mean nothing more than that for two nightsin a month the school building would placed atthe service of the enrolled citizens of the two greatparty organizations. Even that might be reducedto one night in a month by.using two buildings inan Assembly district, one party using one. an.l theother the second building. The meetings wouldbe held on Friday nights, so that there would notbe any chance of disturbing things on a followingschool day. ... -

The ever increasing and apparently mad desire orunscrupulous men to get control of the public In-terests in this great city makes it absolutely neces-sary that something be done In the near future tobring about a cleaner and more wholesome opera-tion of our party politics,' and Icannot see a moresimple method of starting along that line than tofoster the beginning of all the political affairs ofgovernment in the public schools. Let us lay thefoundation of party affairs in the educationalclassroom rather than In-the factional or machineclubhouse, or, to come nearer to some of the truth,let us have politics that are not nurtured by thedregs of beer glasses In the back room of a saloon.Let us purify the political atmosphere from thereeking mixture of tobacco smoke, whiskey fumesand profanity.

This school plan would put every man on anequal footing with his fellows. There would be nooccasion to avoid the importunities of club mem-bers to join associations with which many men areunable to keep up. .-.
