king CAUCUS"

liking Caucus" is a dangerous
character for a mayor to deal with.
The late Mayor French ignored the
existence OF liking Caucus" and
kept the city council ballotting
for weeks on the city clerkship
until he got his man in. Judge
Callaghan tried "King Caucus"
once, but only once; he fired
his nominations into the city
council and generally won. The
late Mayor Paschal invoked
liking Caucus" to his sorrow. Our
new mayor has called on liking
Caucus" to help him run the pie
counter.
The fact is that "King Caucus"
is only at home in legislative bodies
where opposing parties are inter-
ested. The mayor stands in the
same relation to the city coun-
Gil as the President Of the
United States does to Congress, or
the governor of Texas does to the
Legislature. The president or the
governor does not become part Of
the caucus. The mayor is entrust-
ed with the prerogative Of making
nominations for appointive offices,
he should make his nominations
and let the confirming power, the
council, act upon them. To go to-
gether in secret with the council
and make up slate, is a mistake,
it breeds discomfort and suspi-
cion. The applicants for position
Eant fair play in open meeting.
Let our mayor assert his preroga-
tive-not Extensively, but firmly.
