 Union Perfected.

Well known citizens of Montgomery Tn A quiet and effective way have begun promising movement for a Citizens Muni- cipal Union whose main object will be the promotion of good municipal government and the establishment of the principle that the office should seek the man.
 The Citizens Municipal Union Its pro- moters-and they are prominent men in business-declare is to be used In strength ening municipal affairs and securing more concerted action of those directly interested. The men who have inspired the movement for the Union give as another reason for it's organization their belief that the present method of select ing city officers Is responsible for the evils which have crept into the city gov ernment The spirit of the Union Is to be of reform nature.
 Every qualified voter within the city or Montgomery is eligible to membership

 The movement had it's inception in Ward g. The first meeting was held in that ward and its qualified voters were ouietIy canvassed. The Union in that ward is in excellent shape. More than 200 qualified voters Of the ward have
