vibrant with wireless political messages and every oficc is a receiving and re- fav station for them. It is the anxious and melancholy season for the city or | ficeholder of Montgomery.
 The administration of the city gov ernment changes Tuesday and public 1 iobs are hanging in the balance. Hon w. NJ. Teague becomes mayor and the pay job of every man in the city gov ernment whether 1t Is elective or ap- pointive is in the balance, unless the officeholder has the rare good fortune to have cinch.@ Csnches. are not near so numerous as they were two years ago. When Hcn. Thomas H. Carr went into the mayors office two years ago the entire complement of city or fcials was reappointed. No changes were made. The list of the old of- ficers was sent in as the appointees or the new administration.
 So far as the new administration IS concerned one thing is regarded as certain, there will be.n no wholesale ana united appointment of the city onciais. There will be some changes. Just where the changes are going to De worked out, just how far the policy or change is going arg the beginning and
 the impetus of the wireless messages which are Hitting through the city building.
 Taciturn Maycr-elect.
 There is some gossip of these changes But. there is less gossip about them than ever before at che be- ginning of a city administrator. Less l Is known, as a certainty of scity ap- pointment than ever before. MT. Teague has been remarkable for his taciturnity since his election as mayor, He has kept his counsel we'll. He as knownS to have definite ideas on the appointment of city servants and on the policies of a municipal administration, but when 1t comes to details nobody IS empowered to speak for Mir. Teague. It | is understood that whatever is said here of prospective change Is not cloth- ed with authority from the mayor-elect. l The talk of the way city offiees may be | filled, is caught from the gossip of peo- pie who ought to know what they are talking about, but who are not to be considered as spokesmen for MT. | Teague. The Council will Itself work some chanskes. Perhaps the most important
 in general Interest will be the transfer | of Hon. C. r. Mcintyre from the ofhce | of Acting Mayor to that of City Ats | torney. 4 MT. Mcintyre for several | months has been Acting Mayor of Mont eomery. He succeeded to that office | when Mayor Carr was stricken with a | fatal illness and he has since continued 1t under the operation of the nnunicipaa law of Montgomery. MT. Mcintyre, as President of the City Council became Acting Mayor when Mayor Carr became disabled through illness. l MT. Mcintyre Is alderman elect from | Ward for his third term. He Is due | to enter upon that term next Tuesday. But he is candidate for City Attorney and a candidate without opposition. l City Attorney Ray Rushton. who has | in the past year or two. come to rep l resent in Montgomery several of the big corporations doing business in the | city will retire to devote his entire | time to his law practice. -.. The certain election of Mir. Mcintyre will, leave a vacancy in the ward aldermen from Ward A.. The names of three we'll known citizens of the ward have been mentioned for the vacancy, | F M Kohn, w w Seidel and Archie | Tyson. one of the three will. in all probability be selected for the place. | In all probability the Council will allow the other alderman from the ward. Adolph Roemer, to name the man. This Is the usual custom In the Council and MT. Roemer stands well with his colleagues, so there Is small prospect that the custom will be over | thrown.
 | Omcers of Council.
 Alderman Gaston 0unter from Ward Ii and chairman of the School Commit | tee of the Council will be the new President of the Council He will. be given a unanimous election. In the same, way Alderman C. L. Ruth from Ward will be selected to succeed Vice President A. G. Forbes. who will | retire from the Council, upon the com ] pletion of his present term. Well au- | thenticated gossip has partially nxeo ! the organization of the Council. Alder man N. Lobman will in all probability he made chairman of the Finance Com
 noittee. the most important committed of the Council and Vice-President C. l.
 Ruth will be made chairman Of the Water Committee. Such is the talk III | eitv governmental circles.
 The rub for city offices elected by the Icouncil will come Monday night. The old Council will on that night hold iti last meeting. The new Council vii
 Immediately hold a caucus for the selec
 ltion of the elective officers. Th'
 leaucus selections will of course b'
 tantamount to a regular election, mas
 mt,ch as the elections will be formally
 made at the first meeting of the new
 Council which may be held Tuesda!
