sawgg . f ; i f 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 GEORGIAN TERRACE HOTEL In mow eendneted «n h«th flu. American anil European Plana.

Elections Will Show Line-up. "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.

Friends of the majority party in Council will materially strengthen their control of the Police Commission by the changes and the election of a chairman who is in sympathy with Chief Beavers is assured.
