in the newspapers at least five days
lprior 10 the holding OF such election,
Last night in Judge Comings' Of
| tlcc was held a meeting attended by
a few of those who signed the pet :
tiQn asking for the election, and the
committee appointed at the meeting
held Monday evening at The Halii-
day hotel.
J s. kisthorpe as chairman of The
Halliday hotel meeting expressed the
onini0n that 1t was best to withdraw
the Petition in view Of the difficult
ties that might arise and affect the
sale OF the 800, 900 bond issue.
Mr.. Aisthorpe placed himself un-
fauivoeably,@on on record as fayoring
the application OF the Commission
Form Of Government to Cairo,
In support OF his suggestion that
the petition be withdrawn he cited
several sections of the law which he
said, in view of two different legal
opinions obtained, might plunge
those in favor of the Commission
Commission Form and those Of the
administration opposing its applica-
tion in legal entanglaments detri-
mental to the interest of Cairo.
He read the sections applying to
the holding of the primaries which.
in view of the election being set for
such late date, could not legally
be held prior to the election.
He bitterly arraigned the present
administration in no uncertain
words.
He admitted that the militant
spirit surged within him and that
he desired to fight the issue, but
eounselled moderation and eonserya-
tive action in the matter as the OPP
position would plunge the city into
litigation. even though the Commits
sion Form carried by an oyerwhelm-
ing majority. OF the fact OF it's
carrying by tremendous majority
ne had not the slightest doubt. In
counselling moderation and a with
drawal Of the petition he spoke feel
iagly and with some show Of heat
by a supreme effort. He
said that he knew how every one of
the petitioners felt in regard to the
matter, but asked them to show
their patriotism to Cairo and her in
terests by abnegation, something
that the opposition cared nothing
far as their antagonism was based
solely on selfish motives and no real
regaid for the interests of the city.
Frank s. Spencer also advised the
of the petition.
James II. Galligan also favored
the same procedure, as he felt that
the administration would not yield
to the popular vote no matter how
great the majority, but would fight
the issue In the courts and this
would make the disposal of the
$4,000 bonds a very difficult
in fact very doubtful.
Calvin v. Neff also voiced the
same sentiments.
Zion Bishop STATED that it hurt
him to favor withdrawal of the
petition and that when he returned
home from the meeting 1t would be
as man sore and tired.
He said that the people demanded
a change from the present govern
ment
Mr.. Bishop told of how graft was
running rampant through the city
departments, a specific case of which
had come under his personal obser-
vation.
He told how he had sold a bill of
feed to the fire department for
u.hto1, ba haJ rnnns.-.1 ~.
