 The meeting was held in the office of Colonel Charles P. Jones. president of tnc @OuitCh WitH a lutt attCuudHSC Ol lue
 Colonel Jones in calling the meeting to order said that the meeting had been called for the purpose of deciding on the request of MT. Graves made Monday night to have the managers and clerks, who will serve in the run off" primary selected as far as practicable by the can didatcs for Mayor. Colonel Jones said that he thought he expressed the senti- ment of the entire Council when he sad thak NA <xtxr fhA AatA Aa greatest satisfaction possible go that after the primary there would be no cry ol unfair play.
 Looking to this end, he said, he had ad- dressed communica ton to both MT. Carr and Mir Anderson in which he sub mitted a plan for each of them to name a manager and a clerk from each ward and try to agree on the third manager In case of failure to do this, that they each submit the names of good citizens for the position and that the Council would elect its choice
 Colonel 'ones then said that the Coun cil would be glad to hear from any one present In regard to the proposition: represented anything before the Counci it was the Democratic party. He repre- scented neither candidate, but wanted tC see fair play In the primary Monday Judge Winter said he did not reflect or thes integrity of those who served al
  but called attention to the altered condi' tion of the race and the according need of an altered list of managers and clerks Judge Winter endorsed the letter of Colo mel Jones.
 A comm Inication from Thomas H. Carr was then read MT. Carr was willing he said, to abide by anything which the Council decided. He suggested, however that each candidate be allowed to select a manager and a clerk in each ward and ha third should he tNf man who on last Monday received the highest vote in his ward for the posi- tion of alderman. Mir. Carr held that these men would surely hold theS con- fidence of the voters of the ward and he thought this was the simplest way around ''V WiiIiam % i. seibels. councilman from Ward moved that Mir. Carr and Mir. Anderson each submit the names of a manager and d clerk in every ward and make an effort to agree on the third man in the ward. In case the candidates could not agree they should each sug- gest name to the Council to be bal loted on, the Council to make q bona fide effort to alternate in their choice for the odd man, putting an Anderson man ill one ward and a Carr man in the other.
 Bibb Graves and w. w. Pearson said that the motion was entirely satisfactory to Mir. Anderson
 It was then moved that the Council retire into executive session, to revise the list of managers. Before the motion was put, however, MT. Carr asked per mission to be heard a few minutes.
 Here the only friction of the meeting occurred. MT. Carr said that Monday he had seen W. M. Browder, Central Coun- clman from Ward 4. blocking the polling place in his ward and at the same time soliciting votes. He knew that MT. Browder had a right as Central Coun- ciiman to be inside the ropes, but he would like to ask the Council to see that this did not happen again
 MT. Browder arose and said:
 The gentleman does not know what he Is talking about
 He explained that as Central Council man he was at the polls Monday. The voters. he said. were crowding into the polling place and the policeman in charge was compelled to leave. He was request ed by Carr managers to hold back the crowd and 1t was on their request that he was at the doo". As to the solicita- ton of votes, Mir, Browder said that he was asking the people to vote for him for the Central Council. as candidates for reelection were doing at every poll ing place.
 at this point asked
 What do you think f clerks going out of the box to solicit votes?'
