in the routine of business in delib-
erative bodies, was acquainted with
parliamentary rules, had been
member of the Ohio Legislature.

of the council, and if the
yard could not get Green then l
At this point Mr.. Gould rose TO a
question of order, claiming that it Y
vas no place to argue The claims {
If candidates. and if there was no
urther business, he moved to ad- 7
ourn. and the matter was cut short. l
Mr.. Keynes then called attention d
'f the Mayor to the fact that the I
