WOODWARD
FIGHTS To
WIN CITY
BOARD
Issues Summons to Polls, Asking
Support in Effort to Cut
Down Extravaganza.

Mayor James G. Woodward issued
rnal call to arms to his supporters
Monday urging that they nominate
w A. Hancock, Amos Braselton and
c. C. Mcdonald to the Aldermanic
Board in the white primary Tuesday.
i've got no ticket" he said, but If
the people will elect these men it will
be an assurance that the Aldermanic
Board will have a majority that will
be conservative and that will work in
harmony with the administration.
Il am very anxious to see them
elected with the recall we can get
the others into the right line. which
is to handle the peoples business in
businesslike way.
I'VE would have saved 100000 if
the city's business, had been conducted
properly during the past year
A Battle of Words.
The opposing faction is fighting
just AS vigorously as Mayor Wood
ward and the men he is supporting
Reports of a stormy word battle be-
tween the Mayor and Councilman
Claude L. Ashley at a committee
meeting in the City Hall the other
day illustrates the intensity of the
feeling on both sides. Mr.. Ashley is
one of Mayor Woodward's strongest
supporters in Council.
Amos Braselton will overwhelm
Thomson for Alderman from the
Fourth Ward" Mayor Woodward is
reported to have said.
1T will be a reflection on the Fourth
Ward" Councilman Ashley is said to
have replied.
Il don't see why you are for Thorn
son." the Mayor retorted.
What Ashley Replied.
Mr.. Mayor. Mr.. Braselton hasn't
lived in the Fourth Ward long enough
to be called Fourth Ward citizen 3"
replied Councilman Ashley. He is
not even a registered voter in that
ward. That's why l say his election
would be a reflection on the ward"
He'd represent the ward better
than IT has been represented con-
tinued the Mayor, according to the
account of the argument.
He won't have a chance to repre-
sent it at all so far as this election is
concerned"
