"Commissioner McKachem's term would have expired next March and he would have been Ineligible for re- ejectIon. Fred lister was a candi date for the place, and reports were that he had enough support to elect him 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 Abernathy, of the Seventh Ward, ac 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 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 ed to the unexplred term of Mr Mc- Eachern he will be able to secure elec tion for the full term by virtue of hi* being In office Anyway, It relieves Councllmen 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 Dlxo>i will be elected to the Police Commiu- slon to succeed Graham P. Dozier, *h • Tenth Ward delegate, who has re signed. Carlos H Mason. First Ward member and chairman of the Com mission. will be succeeded at the ex piration of his term In March by Councilman A. H. Baskin, whose term In Council expires the first of the year. Pledged to Beavers. Dixon and Baskin will be loyal sun. porters of the majority narty !n 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 tween W. A. Vernoy. B. Lee Smith and Andy R. King. Practically every member and prospective member < f the Commission is more or less a can didate for the chairmanship.

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.

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.
