the present committee, under The lam
guage OF the Devanv resolution. L. r.
Ellert thought the committee had power
to add to its mum Der if il saw fit. The Su-
pervisors, he contended, claimed nothing
more than was expressed in the language
OF he resolution.
The question having been disposed of,
w. NJ. Bunker offered a resolution declar-
ing ut be the sense of this meeting that
1t is desirable that a park be created In
front of the City Hall"
The resolution was seconded by Mr..
Scott and was ANONYMOUSLY adopted. Mr..
Scott expressed as his opinion that it
would be proper, before any further busi-
ness, to go into permanent organization.
Claus Spreckels favored the idea, while
Regent Reinsteln held there should be a
delay and con sutation.
A. s. Mcguire favored organic ton.
Then Mr.. Scott moved that the associa-
tion be permanently organized and his
motion was carried. He then nominated
Claus Spreckels as chairman.
Several members seconded the nomina-
ton. but MIR. Spreckels declined on the
ground of pressure of business. He said:
Il have more business than l can attend
10. 1t would be impo ssibe for me to give
my time-or any time, to presiding over
your deliberations. Yet l am with this
movement and will attend as many of
your meetings as 1 can. L con slider this is
very i'm portant, and it will require the
strict attention of the men entrusted in
its consummation.
Therefore, gentlemen, l must decline
positively so-please excuse me-"
Notwithstanding this positive but polite
declination, several members insisted on
having the use OF his name as chairman

A Tennessee Force Bill.

If the people talk as plainly to mem
bers of the Legislature who wear the
collar of the caucus as they do to each
other, the law makers will 90 back to
Nashville on the 9Th of this month
with feas in their ears. Opposition to
Bob Taylor's force bill is not confined
to men of n party. There are hun
dreds of Democrats who believe that
the force bill is a mistake, an outrage
and a wicked invention that will re-
turn TO plague the inventors. The peo-
pie of the State of Tennessee have not
been used to having their election ma
chinerY managed by u single man.
They have been used to home rule.
County elections have been held by
county officers, chosen by the peonle
for that purpose. Returns of local and
State elections have been made to these
officers. The people have felt that they
were capable of managing their own
affairs. Bob Taylor and his force bill
followers say they are not and that the
privilege shall be taken from them. 1t
has been taken from them. Hereafter
Bob Taylor will name commissioners,
these commissioners will name cleo
tson officers and these will make their
returns to the commissioners. 1t is all
the hands of Bob Taylor, and the peo-
pie have no hand in it.-Knoxville
