Mayor Woodward Thursday bitter
ly denounced the reported plan of
Council to swap placen between Po
lice Commlfwdoner J. N McKaehern
and Marcelluti M. Xnderaon, mein n r
of the Hoard of Edoc&tion. both of
the Seventh Ward, as an example of
“the petty peanut politics that per
meates Council.”
In my campaign for Mayor 1 told
the people (d Atlanta that the trou
ble with their city government was
that a majority of the members of
Council were devoting themselves to
petty ring politics Instead of the best
administration of the city’s business,'
he said
"The developments Monday in re
gard to the resignation of Police
'< 'ommissioner McEachern is one of
many glaring proofs of my rhurgos.
‘‘Commissioner Mcl'achem’s term
would have expired n< xt March and
he would have been ineligible fur re-
election. Fred Lister was a candi
date for the place, and reports were
that he had enough support to elect
him.
Sess Plot on Lester.
"Mr Lester was not «»f the . rowd
that tries to run the board elections.
Also Mr McEachern had to be taken
care of It seems to be authentic
that they have caucused and pull *d
the wire until they have enough vo.es
to elect MarcelIuh Anderson, member
of the Board of Education, to the Po
lice Commission and Mr. McEachern
to the Board of Education. The in
dent of the finesse seems to he to
leave Mr Lester out
“I have no personal feeling in the
matter Though Mr Anderson and I
have differed politically. I have al
ways felt personally friendly to him;
and I am a little surprised that he
would allow himself to be handled In
.such ;i way.
“As Mayor of Atlanta I can t help
but denounce these tactics. It’s a
good example of the way a crowd In
Council works to keep its friends in
office.
"Is it any wonder that we have
complaints against our board govern
ment? What patriotic citizen wants
to stoop to the petty practices re
quired t ) get a board position? There
fore. the places are filled by the petty
little crowd in Council.
“I wonder when the people of At
lanta are going to wake up to the
jnisadmlnistration of their business.
What sort of government could you
expect from a crowd of men who de
vote practically all their time to keep-
TY POLITICS'
ing themselves and their friends in
office?
Elections Will Show Line-up.
"Tin- line-up will be made clear
when tie vote on these elections is
taken Lot the people watch to see
who the petty peanuts are."
It will Indeed be a significant vote
when Council goes to elect Marcellus
Anderson to the Police Commission.
Il«* will be nominated by Alderman u
J Hpratllng and Councilman Roy
Abernathy, of the Seventh Ward, ac
cording tn advance report. Council
man A K r'olcord. the other repre
sentative of the Seventh Ward, is ex
pected to nominate Mr Lester for
th** place Teh fight w ill be clear cut,
and the result of the vote is expected
to have a significant effect on Mayor
Woodward’s < • rnmittce appointments
for the new Council.
Mr Lester’s claimed majority is
wiped out by having the old Instead
of the new Council do the electing.
Tin* hop** of Mr Anderson and h *
friends is that after he has been elect
ed to the unexpired term of Mr. Mc-
Kachera he will be able to secui** el.-
tlon for the full ter mby virtue of his
being in office. Anyway. It relieves
Councllmen of their pledges to Mr.
L<-st or.
Mr Anderson ojjoaed May .r

Fred Lester was a warm supporter.
At the same meeting G. P. Dixon

year.
Pledged to Beavers.
Dixon and Baskin will be loyal suo-
porters of the majority oarty In
Council, which is the anti-Woodward
oarty, and are pledged, it is under
stood. to uphold Chief Beavers.
Robert c Clark. Eighth War!
member of the Commission, also will
be up for re-election in March. He
has been an independent during his
service and there are rumors that he
may be ousted for someone who is out
and out for Chief Beavers.
Friends of the majority party in
Council will materially strengthen
their control of the Police Commission
by the changes and the election of ;»
chairman who is in sympathy with
Chief Beavers is assured.
At present the plum seems to lie be
