The Struggle for Self-Government

by Lincoln Steffens

This book has been digitized by Google, but with the last page left off. The last page of the book, which picks off from the last page of the Google scan, reads as follows:

abroad. The cry of Americans in wards, counties, cities, States, and the United States should be, not good government, but "representative government."2

2 A promising movement for representative government in New Jersey has been started under the leadership of Senator Everett Colby of Essex, who beat his boss, Carl Lentz, in the fall of 1905. Back of Colby are the followers of Mayor Fagan of Jersey City and the reformers of Newark and the Oranges, in Essex County. They carried every county that they worked in last fall, and, reaching out to organize other counties, the movement they have inaugurated bids fair to make Jersey one of the leaders of State and National Reform in the United States.

[Preparer's note: "good govern-men" with the hyphen at the end of the line, is what appeared in the original where I have "good government". I think this was simply a typographic error.]

Hey, the Google scan's been fixed!

This is a "meta-book", which stitches together separate files elsewhere on the Web as they appeared in a previously published book. It is subject to removal if someone produces an integrated edition. If that happens, The Online Books Page will point to the integrated version.
