Twining, "surrounds the transit prob

"There are involved In the transit
problem the same four intercuts that
are common to all modern problems of

management and labor. Where serv

it was decided yesterday that the Mayor

1 ington with fh belief Hint Wood's ad-
vantage cmild not be overcome. Yet so
great lias been tlie response to tlie charge
I thnt Wood was spending too much
' liioncv on his campaign that Wood has
been badly defeated
The Michigan result makes it neces
sary for the general's managers to meet
this issue frnnklv. No one here bo
lieves thai the Wood campaign funds
ure being corruptly spent. The Wood
campaign lios merely been organized as
no preliminary campaign lias ever been
organized before. It has been organized
in every precinct, even in states like
California, where Wood has no inten
tion of making a contest.
It is not n politician s organization,
it. Is a business man's organization
with methods borrowed from the great
uiitlonnl selling campaigns. It has been
funned nt a time when the high cost of
living has affected politicians. It is a
costly organization.
Michigan In I'nlque Position
.Michigan is of course peculiarly sensi
tive to the charge that expenditures are
excessive Tbe conviction of Senator
Newberry of violating the law with re
gard to campaign exjnenditures had
made thu voters susceptible, to the Jobri

of mind exists in any other state. Nor
