US W PETTY POLITICS
Mayor Woodward Thursday bitter
ly denounced the reported plan of
< 'ouncll to swap plamH between Po
lice Commissioner .1 N MrEacherr*
and Marcellus M Anderson, member
of the Hoard of Education, both of
the Seventh Ward, as an example of
“the petty peanut politics that per
meates Council."
"In my campaign for Mayor I told
the people of 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 cit\ s business. ’
he said.
"The developments Monday In re-\
gard to the resignation of Police
Commissioner MeBacUern is one of
many glaring proofs of my charges
"Commissioner McEachern's term
would have expired ne*t March and
he would have been inelfgible for r.
election. Fred Hester was a candi
date for the place, and reports were
that he had enough support to elect
him
Secs Plot on Letter
"Mr I^ester was not of the crowd
that tries to run the board election-
.Also Mr McEachern had to be taken
care of. It seems to be authentic
that they have caucused and pulled
the wire until they have enough votes
to elect Marcellus Anderson, member
of the Board of Education, to the Po
lice Commission and Mr McEachern
to the Board of Education The in
tent of the fines*** seems to be to
leave Mr. Lester out.
"I have no personal feeling in the
matter. Though Mr. Anderson and 1
have differed politically, 1 have al
ways felt personally friendly t*» him;
and I am a little surprised that he
would allow himself to be handled In
such a way.
"Ah 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 jKitriotlc citizen wants
to stoop to the petty practices re
quired to 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
misadmtnlstratlon of their business.
What sort of government could you
expect from a crowd of men who de
vote practically all their time to keep-

"The line-up will be made ciear
when the vote on these elections is
taken Let the people watch to see
who the petty peanuts are."
It will indeed be si significant vote
when <’ouncll goes to elect Marcellus
Anderson to the Police Commlealon.
He will be nominated by Alderman K
J Sprat ling and Councilman Roy
Abernathy, of the Seventh Ward, a
cording to advance report. Council
man A. R. Colcord, the other repre
sentative of the Seventh Ward, is ex
pected to nominate Mr. Lester for
the place The fight will be clear cut.
and the result of the vote ts expected
to hive n significant effect on Mayor
Woodward's committee appointments
for the new Council.
Mr, Lester's claimed majority
wiped out by having the old instead
of the new Council do the electing.
The hope of Mr. Anderson and his
friends Is that after he has been elect
ed to the unexpired term of Mr, Mc
Eachern he will he able to secure elec
tion for the full term by virtue of his
being In office. Anyway, it relieves
Councilmen of their pledges to Mr.
Lester.
Mr. Anderson opposed Mayor
Woodward in the last election, while
Fred Lester was a warm supporter.
At the same meeting G. P. Dixon
will be elected to the Police Commis
sion to succeed Graham P. Dozier. »h *

Robert C. Clark. Eighth Ward
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 a
