That such attempts to emasculate

have no doubt.
The very fact that the bill was

Even then there is good reason to
believe that some of those who had

eminent. but were really playing 2
double role tried to bring influence
IN hear upon Governor Brewer to veto
the bill.
All efforts to kill the bill failed, and
if became a law in spite of its enemies
though with one feature omitted.
Even with the recall of commission
ars left out of the new law, however,
the promise of better government for
Meridian under commission govern
ment is. we believe, far greater than
fl ran ever be under aldermanic gov

Our belief in this respect is based
