Mayor Woodward Thuraday bitter
ly denounced the reported plan of
UounrJl to snap places between Po
lice Commissioner J N MeKacherr
and Marcellu* M. Andersen, mem »er
of the Hoard of Education, both of
the Seventh Ward, as an example of
“the petty peanut politics that per-
ineTtp* 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 memb^vrs of
Council were devoting themselves to
petty ring politic* instead of the host
administration of the city's business.’
he said
“The developments Monday in re
gard to the resignation of Police
Commissioner MoEaenern is one of
man> glaring proofs of my charges.
"Commissioner McEachern* term
would have expired next March and
he would have been Ineligible for re-
election. hYed Hester was a candi

that he had enough support to elect

“Mr Hester was not of the crowd

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 Hoard of Education. The in
tent of the finesse seems to be to
leave Mr lister out.
“I have no |>ersonal 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 a wav.
“As Mayor of Atlanta T 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 s petty practices re
quired t > get a hoard position" There
fore, the places are fil ed by the petty
little crowd In Council.
“I w'onrier when the people of At

misadministratlon of their business.
What sort of government could you
expect from a crowd of men who de
vote practically all their time to keep
ing themselves and their Mends in
office?

“The line-up will be made dear
when the vote on these election# Is
taken. Let the people watch to see

City, to-day announced his withdraw
al from the Progressive party. *»f
which he was one of the founders.
Although the comptroller did not

statement that there would be an
amalgamation of the best men of
both the Progressive and Republican
parties,, and that it shall constitute a j
strong anti-Democratic party.
Mr. Pendergast gave as hls reason
for withdrawing that he did not ap
prove of the policies of the Progres

Comptroller Prendergast had been
selected to name Theodore Roosevelt

President at the Chicago convention,
but on account of illness was una
ble to do so.
