PROTEST..

The undersigned citizens Of Oko
Iona do hereby enter this their earnes
protest against the the approval Of tn,
proposed Charter Amendment where
by it is sought to change the time hon
ored government Of Okolcna by max
ing the Mayor Of said City Presiden
Of the City Council. in lieu Of presen
method Of electing the President O
said Council.
!. Since the FIRST incorporation o.
said City the President has been elect
ed by the Council, or the Board Of Sc
lectmen as it was then styled, from
among its own members, and later BY
the Electors at Large, as Councilman al
Large; who by virtue Of his Office was
President Of the Council with only the
right to vote in case Of a tie. This
change was made to avoid the casting
of two votes by one member of the
Council, one as member and anoth.
er, in case Of tie, as President.
In our judgment, time honored GUS
tom of the City should be preserved
as the City has always prospered
under it.
II. The Mayor, in our opinion,
should be entirely free from participa-
ton in the legislation Of the City, ex-
cept as now authorized to recommend
such measures as he believes best for
the public interest, and to exercise the
veto power with which hetis now in
vested.
When free from any connection with
the legislation of the Council, the May
or has FIVE days in which to approve
or reject i'll advised legislation. This
gives him ample time to investigate un-
lawful and i'll advised acts, giving the
public the benefit of mature judg-
ment
AS President Of the CoucniI, the
casting vote will be equivalent to the
exercise Of the veto power, and would
be too hastily given, and thereby in
flicting upon the public crude and in
valid laws, which would cause much
trouble and vexation.
Premises considered, the under
signed humbly pray that said amend
ment be not approved.
Respectfully submitted

Councilman End Ward,

ing on any question he shall give the

Facts about the Charter
Amendment!

The changing Of the city charter so
as to let the mayor preside over the
deliberations of the Council is a plain
practical business proposition, that you
would not hesitate to carry out in your
private affairs. The Councilman at
large has no duties to perform, only a
part OF what the mayor is elected, paid
and ought to be required to do.
In all towns that we know Of the
mayor presides over the Council, APP
point the committees and take hand
in all the affairs Of city, and assumes
all the duties and responsibilities Of
his Office - and no good reason can
be given why he should not do the
same in Okolona. The argument. that
he ought not to be asked to enforce
the laws. he has helped to make, is
proven to be no good. by thousands Of
mayors, in thousands of cities and
towns every day in the year.
Nothing Of importance is ever pas
sed BY the council without discussion
and investigation and if the mayor
presides and hears all the arguments,
he will be better prepared to approve
or veto, than if he was shut out las is
now the case) and has to do all his
investigating without their aids.
This is no new issue; the council
man at large was elected two years
ago for the express purpose Of abolish
ing the Office and letting the Mayor
assume his full duties as such.
We we're told then that this
extra councilman was fifth wheel to
the wagon, and that much surplus bag
gage to carry for no possible good to
the city.
Il was true then, and Just as true
now. for no new conditions have
arisen to change the facts in the case.
The time has come to lay aside this
ancient and useless custom, and adopt
the business-like methods Of our sister
cities. who are progressive and pros
porous, and whose mayors have no
help to perform the duties Of their
Office.
Lets cut out the fifth wheel, and re-
quire the mayor to do his full part in
the management Of the city govern
ment and lay aside wrangIing and
strife and bend our energies to the
building Up our city. and making it
peaceful. prosperous and happy

"Umpire Winscott, who has been

general satisfaction and the fans are a

to Waco on the return of the club.
His decisions have been uniformally

"Mr. Winscott is a gentleman whom
it is a pleasure to know, a man OF re-

rent subjects, and is peculiarly equip
ped by practical training and a
thorough knowledge OF the rules. He
requires good order, but he does not
have to resort to drastic means to en-
force his commands.
"Enjoying the respect and conf
dence Of all the players, his every
word is needed and obeyed and every
discision is accepted without protest.
Mr.. Winscott has demonstrated that
base ball can be played without the
