political career he has met with fresh
difficulties, but he has repeatedly sur
mounted them. Though not an orator

Absence of MIR. HnwIey Prevents

Galveston, Texas, July 2S.--The present
Galveston city council is unique In many
respects. There have been disagreements
before this between the mayor and the
board OF aldermen over the election OF
city officers, but the deadlock has never
lasted so long as II has In this instance.
There is no sign OF yielding ON either side.
Meetings are frequently held for the pur-
pose of trying to get together but they
have all been without result,
In the estimation OF many good judges,
the majority faction in the council has not
exercised good politics, They proclaimed
after election---and before election, too,
sue in the campaign was the defeat OF
Ed Mccarthy for reelection as city treas
urer. His scalp must come, they say.
AS TO the filling OF the other positions.
1t was understood they had no objection
to the mayors nomination. OF good men,
When the council met for the first time,
however, and Mayor Jones submitted his
list OF nominees for the various positions.
the majority faction deliberately defeated
every one OF them.
They turned down II. W. Davidson for
city attorney. one OF the finest men and
ablest lawyers in Galveston.
They turned down DR. John I. Moore
for city health physician, who was In
dorsed by nearly every physician in town.
They turned down Ira Collins for col
lector, C. w. Preston for assessor, and t.
X. Thompson for auditor, all OF whom
We're appointees OF Former Mayor Ely
and are good men.
And of course they turned down Me-
Carthy for city treasurer. another APP
pointoe of DR.. Fly. and who has held the
position for eight years.
Such an arbitrary use of power right at
the beginning, on all the mayors nominal
tons, has not tended to bring about pleas
ant relations and the council is anything
but harmonious body at present
In the meantime the various depart
ments are somewhat dlsorganized because
no man knows how long his job may last,
The mayor Is compelled to take counsel
