Mayor Woodward Thursday bitter
ly denounced the reported plan of

"the petty peanut politic* that per
meates (’ounril.”
"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 membera of
t’ouncil were devoting themselves 10
petty ring politics Instead of the best
administration of the clty’W business.’
he said
"The developments Monday In re
gard to the resignation of Police
Gomminsioner McEacnern Is one cf
many glaring proofs of my charges.
"Commissioner McKachem's term
would have expired next March and
he would have been Ineligible for re-

that he had enough support to elect

Sees Plot on Lester.
"Mr Lester was not of the crowd
that tries to run the hoard elections
Also Mr. McEachern had to be taken
care »>f It seems to be authentic
lhat 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 finest** seems to be to
leave Mr. I^ester 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 a 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 Y> 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
inlsadmlnlstration 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 friends in
offli e?
Elections Wjll Show Line-up.
"The line-up will be made clear
when the vote on these elections Is
taken. Let the people watch to see
who the petty peanuts nre. M
It will indeed be a significant vote
when t'ouncil goes to elect Marcellus
Anderson to the Police Commission.
He will he nominated by Alderman F
J. Spratllng and Councilman Hoy

cording to advance report, Council

the place The fight will he clear cut.
and the result of the vote ts expected
to have a significant effect on Mayor
Woodward’s committee 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.
The hope of Mr. Anderson and his
friends is that after he has been elect

Eachern he will be able to secure elec

Councllmen of their pledges to Mr.

Mr. Anderson opposed Mayor

Fred Lester was a warm supporter.

Council, which Is the anti-Woodward
oartv. and are pledged, it Is under
stood. to uphold Chief Beavers.
Robert C. Clark, Eighth Ward
member of the Commission, also will
be up for re-election in March. He
has been an Independent during hi3
service and there are rumors that lie
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
chairman who is In sympathy with
Chief Beavers Is assured.
At present the plum seems to lie be

rection that will deflect the current

T
Consents to Audience for Suffra
gists Now in Session in
Washington.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. -President
Wilson to-day consented to receive a
delegation of suffragists, who will
plead with the nation’s Chief Execu
tive in person for his support in the
campaign for a constitutional provi
sion giving women the right to vote.
At the suffrage convention to-day
Mrs. Medill McCormick, of Chicago,
read the following message from
President Wilson:
"If I receive any visitors, or if I
am sufficiently recovered from my
illness to leave my room for five or
ten minutes, I will be glad to receive
the delegates of your convention and
hear what they want to say to me. I
am sorry that my illness prevents me
from seeing them to-day."
Sees Constitution Change.
Senator Clapp, of Minnesota, stirred
the women's convention when he
predicted the Federal Constitution
will be amended in the near future
so th*it no State shall deprive a per
son of a vote because of sex.
The Senator, who is a member of
the Senate Committee on Woman
Suffrage, said:
"I can assure you that before this
session of Congress is over the com
mittee will report to the Senate the
resolution providing for the consti-
tional amendment, and I confidently
believe that when the resolution gets
before the Senate it will be passed.
I want to say without political bias
that I very much regret the failure of
President Wilson to mention woman
suffrage and the need of suffrage leg
islation in his last message to Con
gress.’’

City, to-day announced his withdraw
al from . the Progressive party. «*f

Although the comptroller did not

amalgamation of the best men of
both the Progressive and Republican
parties, and that it shall constitute a
strong anti-Democratic party.

for withdrawing that he did not ap
prove of the policies of the Progres
sives after the Chicago convention.
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.

igainst the demand of the suffragists
| that the House create a special com
mittee on woman suffrage.
Mrs. Arthur J. Dodge, of New
1 York, president of the National As-
I sociation, opposed to woman’s suf
frage, declared that the suffragists
have numerous hearings before Con
gress, and that their complaint of un
fair treatment was unfounded.
