US MODE PETTY POLITICS
Mayor Woodward Thursday bitter
ly denounced the reported plan if
Council to twap places between Po
lice Commissioner J. N. MrEaehen
and MarcelluK M Anderson, member
of the Hoard of Education, both of
the Seventh Ward, as an example «,f
"the petty peanut politic* 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 city’s business,’
he said.
"The developments Monday In re
gard to the resignation of Police
Commissioner McEacTiern Is one of
many glaring proofs of my charges.
"t’ommissloner McEachern's term
would have expired next March and
he would have been Ineligible for r.
election. Fred Hester was a candi
date for the place, and reports were
that he had enough support to elect
him
See# Plot on Letter.
Mr Lester was not of the crowd
that tries to run the board elections.
Also Mr McEachern had to by taken
rare of. It seems to be authentic
that they have caucused and pulled
the wire until they have enough votes
to elect Marcellos Anderaon, 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. Lester out.
"1 have no personal feeling in the
matter. Though M* 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.
"At 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 to get a board position? There
fore, the places are tilled by the petty
little crowd In Council.
"I wonder when the people of At
lanta are going to wake up to the
misadministration 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 frlenda in
oflli e?
Elections Will Show Line-up.
"The line-up will be made clear
wiien the vote on these elections Is
taken. Let the people watch to see
who the petty peanuts are.'*
It will indeed he a significant vote
when Council goes to elect Marcell us
Anderson to the Police Commission.
He will be nominated by Alderman F
j. Hpratllng and Councilman Roy
Abernathy, of the Seventh Ward, ac
cording to advance report. Council
man A. H. Colcord, the other repre
sent*'ve 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 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 Ins
friends is that after he has been elop
ed to the unexpired term of Mr. Mc
Eachern he will he able to secure elec
tion for the full term by virtue of hi*
being in office. Anyway. It reliefs
Councllmen of their pledges to Mr !
Lester.
Mr. Anderson opposed Mayor
Woodward in the last election, white
Fred Lester was a warm supporter.
At the same meeting O. P Dixon
will be elected to the Police Commis
sion to succeed Graham P. Dozier, *h •
Tenth Ward delegate, who has re
signed. Ca r, os II. Mason, First Ward
member and chairman of the Com
mission, will he succeeded at the ex
piration of his term In March !>v
Councilman A H. Baskin, whose term
In Council expires the first of the
year.
Pledged to Beavers.
Dixon and Baskin will he loyal sup
porters of the majority narty ’r
Council, which Is the anti-Woodward
*>artv, and are pledged. It Is under
stood. to uphold Chief Beavers.
Robert C. C'.ark, 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 he
may be ousted for someone who is oir
and out for Chief Beavers.
Friend® <*f the majority party In
Council will materially strengthen
their control of the Police Commission
by the changes and the election of .1
chairman who Is in sympathy with
Chief Reavers Is assured.
At present the plum seems to lie he-
tween W. A. Vernoy. B. Lee Smith and
Andy R. King. Practically every
member and prospective member < f
the Commission Is rr.ore or less a can
didate for the chairmanship.
