Dear Sirs—We inclose you a letter
which Is self-explanatory. We would
be glad to have you publish It In your
Issue of this afternoon, as It is of con
siderable value to the commission
movement, in that It shows a.perfect
willingness upon the part of the com
mittee to have any recount of the post
cards that may be desired by any one
, It also exposes a cheap political trick.
Yours truly,
IA. J. WEST.
{victor L. SMITH,
Committee on legislation.
Atlanta, Ga., July 25. <
Mr. W. H. Terrell. City:
Dear Sir—Wq are Informed that you,
purporting to represent a committee
from some source (we do not know
what), suggested to our chairman, Mr.
Watkins, your desire to have a recount
of the voters petitioning for the sub
mission of the commission charter to
the city of Atlanta.
We also understand that you have
..jprofiched certainly two of the repre
sentatives from the county of Fulton
requesting that the commission charter
be not Introduced until this recount
should be had.
As stated, we do not know what of
ficial body you represent, nor how your
supposed committee was created, and
assume that It springs from the oppo
sition to the commission charter, which
Is almost entirely composed of the of
fice-holding element. /
It has been stated repeatedly by dif
ferent members of the city council, and
In the public prints by other*olficfc hold
ers, that the commission charter would
be killed in the legislature and the peo
ple would never have an opportunity to
vote upon that Issue. Indeed, council,
without discussion, .by a majority vote,
ruled that It would not permit the
voters of this city to determine for
themselves whether they desired the
commission charter or not.
When tho charter was presented to
the local legislative representatives by
this coipniitteo*ln charge, those repre
sentatives agreed that they would -In
troduce and advocate the enactment of
the bill, provided twenty per cent of tho
registered voters petitioned to that ef
fect. The general committee of cltlxens
acceded to the soundness of this posi
tion and immediately Incurred the ex
pense of Issuing postcards to the voters.
These returned cards expressing the de
sire of the voter to have the commission
charter Introduced and adopted havo
several days since passed tho twenty
per cent mark. The checking of these
cards against the registration lists was
done by n competent force of honest
ment, honestly bent upon determining
whether the twenty per cent neces
sary was obtained. Nearly 150 addi
tional voters were checked to cover any
possible mistakes, and the remaining
cards (some 600 or 700 in number)
were not checked against the registra
tion list, as it was not necessary.
The terms upon which the local rep
resentatives agreed to Introduce and
advocate the charter wero compiled
with and the elements prescribed by
them, to wit, a certificate from a per
fectly .reputable gentleman to tho ef
fect <hat the requisite per cent had
been obtained, was likewise furnished
the representatives. This has been ac-
cepted and It Is agreed that the bill
shall be Introduced Wednesday.
Thus, we havo compiled with the
stipulations of the contract entered
into with the local representatives.
Under the circumstances, and In view
of tho facts that the opposition to tho
commission charter Is resorting to
practically every known method In Its
attempt to keep the people from pass
ing upon whether the commission char
ter shall be adopted or not, and that
the session is half over, and any delay
would bo dangerous to the bill, and In
view of the additional fact that you and
your allies know the type and charac
ter of men who were in charge of tho
Issuance of the postcardi and their
count, wo can see nothing In your re
quest but an attempt tQ carry out the
published threat that the bill would be
killed In the legislature and the people
deprived of the right to express their
wish. It Is now up to you and yous
committee to carry out your threats
and kill It In the legislature.
Under these circumstances, we can
not consent that the Introduction of the
bill shall bo delayed, as every require
ment of the local representatives has
been honestly and fairly met and com
piled . with.
But, without delaying the introduc
tion or the passage of the bill. If you, «
any reputable committee from any class
of Atlanta citizenship, desire to test
the question of -whether' we have in
fact obtained twenty per cent of the
registered Voters, we will cheerfully ac.
cord the‘opportunity to make this
aminatlon.
If. after the examination has been
made in proper sHape and way, It
should be ascertained that the twenty
per cent Is not In hand, the general
committee representing the citizenship
of Atlanta qrlll request the local repre
sentatives to withdraw the bill.
You flave no evidence and no suspi
cion well founded thnt the count-which
•we caused to be made Is Inaccurate or
unfair In any respect, and we regard
the purported desire to have a recount
ns a meA political trick to prevent tho
people from overwhelmingly indorsing
tho commission charter. 1
This letter will be acceptable to and
abided by both our general chairman.
Frederic J. Paxon, ami the chairman of
this special committee, Edgar Watkins,
both of whom are out of the city.

The proposal, thru Senator Felker's
amendment to the state constitution, to
go back to the old method of guberna
torial appointment of Judges of the su
preme, appellate and superior courts
and solicitors general, probably tho
most sweeping measure thus far con
sidered by the senate, brought forth a
general debate Tuesday In the senate.
The bill provides that upon the fa
vorable action of the legislature, the
question go to the people for vote at
the next election. Only this referen
dum clause saved the bill more vigor
ous opposition.
Senator Felker, the first to speak,
spoke for his bill to "take the Judiciary
out of politics."
"The people of Georgia want to go
back to the old system. They havo tried
tho new and found It wanting," he said.
Senator Roberts, chairman of the
general Judlclayy committee, opposed
the bill.
"The people," ho said, "will never
surrender the right they have secured
to eleqt their Judges. There can bo
as much politics injected/in the system
of gubernatorial appointment. A gov
ernor could, if ho desired, build up a
political ring thru this old system. Why
should the people W’ho elect the Judges
have a disrespect for them?"
Senator Sheppasd Introduced an
amendment placing the election of
Judges in tho hands of* tho general as
sembly Instead of the governor.
Ho thought that tho popular election
placed tho Judiciary In politics of the
"rough-and-tumble" variety.
Senator Grdham suggested that the
Solution of tho question was In Sena
tor Harris' rotation bill now pending
before the general Judiciary committee.
Senator Harris' bill provides for tho
division of the state Into three districts
—northern, middle and southern—and
tho rotation of superior coqrt Judges in
these general divisions. Senator Har
ris defended his rotation bill os the so
lution.
Several • speakers brought out the
point that people always ratify a con
stitutional amendment approved by the
legislature, because the politicians cloud
the Issue.

REMEMBER
The aldermanic system is not practi
cal because it doesn’t carry out the wishes
of the people living under it—and the peo
ple have no way of .forcing it to do so.
It deserves our gratitude for its mag
nificent errors. By means of those errors
we arc taught to look for something bet
ter—something that more nearly meas
ures up to our civic needs.
We find it in the Commission form.
It’s an evolution—and. evolution is the
law of life. That’s the terrible truth poli
ticians and all obstructionists must learn
to accept.
The serious, thoughtful, earnest stu
dents of the times know that the public
will sooner or later have what it wants.
Pump popular sentiment and you’ll
find that the public asks for Commission
government.
