Chairman Finch's Views

1T Is clearly within our province to
call a primary and place upon the ticket
matters which in our estimation ere of
interest to the public" stated O. 5. Finch,
chairman of the city democratic execu-
tive committee yesterday THE whole
matter depends ON whether or not we
believe the people want the primary We
believe they do.
"As to our power in the matter and
the authority with which we are clothed
YOU will remember that when the present
commission government bill, under which
our present city commission is conduct-
ing the affairs of the city, was presented
to Governor ONeal for his signature the
governor returned the bill to the legisla-
ture, ordered Walker Percy to strike out
the clause which took the city election
out of the hands OF the city democratic
executive committee and then repass the
bill. The governor would not sign the
bill until this clause was stricken out and
that is enough proof In my mind that
he intended the city committee to remain
in existence and fulfill its usual duties.
ut is not the wish of the city commit
tee to be arbitrary in this matter. We
are not merely set of politicians trying
to hold down our jobs. We want to con-
form to the wish of the voters and we be-
leve that IL is the wish of the voters
that we continue in the capacity we have
filled in the past. There have been but
few objections to this plan. We believe
that by far the greater majority wish us
to continue, call primary this spring
and place upon 1t the questions which We
think DrnDer.

Should Register Their Wishes

II think the people are in favor of mu-
nicipal ownership Of waterworks and
other public utilities and ] don't see why
they should not be given chance to
register their will In the matter. We do
not bar any voter from participation in
the primary providing he agrees to SUP
port the party candidate. No matter what
p,arty man belongs to, IL he agrees to
support the candidates of our party he
car participate in the primary.
l"No doubt the city commissioners, or
that is a part of them, are going TO
come up for reelection. They will be
candidates TO succeed themselves and
il looks to me as If 1t would be more
in accord with propriety and the ethics
of the matter If the city committee
were to conduct the election. Whether
or not Mr. Huddleston represents the
sentiment of the Municipal Ownership
league, ! do not know, but | am in
clined to believe he does not. Secrc-
tary j. A. Rountree of the Municipal
Ownership league gave me to under
stand the other day that he was in
favor of the primary and stated that he
INTENDED writing me letter to thar
effect within the next few days"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-01-22
Favors Primary

j. A. Rountree was one of the origina
organizers of the Municipal Ownership
league and has been secretary ever
since its formation. Il certainly am
in favor of the primary" he said yes-
terday, "and | want the municipal
ownership of waterworks placed on the
ticket We have been lighting for
municipal ownership for years. The
mayor and old board of aldermen used
to put us off and now the city COM
mission Is doing the same thing. The
people are getting tired of our talking
about it and writing about 1t in the
newspapers. They want something
done.
put the question on the primary
ticket and show the city commission
what we desire and then we can secure
what we are after. IL the city loses
the waterworks case after 1t Is ap-
pealed this time 1t will be taken to The
supreme court and If the waterworks
company loses 1t will eventually go TO
the same place. So that 1t will be three
or four years until we get anything
done in that way and then We will be
lust about where we started, speaking
in reference to municipal ownership. |
favor the primary and think the ma
iority of the members of the Municipal
Ownership league favor il as does the
large majority of the entire body of
voters in the city"
