THE CITIZENS CLUB.
There was some interesting business
at the annual meeting OF the Citizens club
The officers OF last year were all reelected
with one OF two exceptions. The feeling
OF the club I'm regard to the showing made
at the last election was evidently one OF
satisfaction.
| Resolutions were adopted favoring the
| reorganiza ton OF the police department..
| making all appointments in the depart
|
! qualifications and requirements, a public
works commission 10 take charge OF all
sewer, highway and bridge work. mod
ern fire department and a primary cleo
ton law under which all nominations
shall be made by direct vote OF the people
under the Australian ballot system.
The club adopted a resolution condemn
ing the town council and characterized the
election officials acts, whom they APP
| pointed for the Fourth district. for the
| last election. as high handed and illegal
Resolution in reference TO count In
| Fourth district at the last election was
adopted as follows:
The Citizens club desires to call public
attention TO the failure OF the last town
council TO appoint Mr. r. r. Medbery as
moderator of the Fourth district for the
election held on Nov. last, he having
the choice of the majority OF the old dis
trict for the office at the previous cleo
tion. and therefore fairly entitled to the
appointment.
Mr. Medbery Is capable OF but one oon-
struction which IA that the council W.T.
fully contributed toward the highhanded
and illegal methods employed by the man
whom they appointed
We further. consider that the mac
curaries discovered on the count I'm the
Fourth district are a grave reflection on
the officials In charge and that the fall
tre on the part of the council TO verify
the preliminary account when It's MEM
bers must have seen that this organiza-
ton had publicly protested against the
method OF counting employed, exposes
that body to the inference that II ap
proved such methods.
AS a result Of the foregoing, be Il re-
solved that this club hereby publicly ex-
presses it's demand that in all future
I .N.l. d
| every OFFICIAL connected with the election
machinery. both on election day and in
| the subsequent canvassers meeting, shall
perform the duties In strict conformity
with the statutes. not omitting or de-
/ parting from any OF the provisions
| therein.
Be IL further resolved that II is the
belief OF this club that in selecting sup
| ervisors OF elections the council should
satisfy itself as TO the good character
OF all candidates.
