Editor The Georgian:
What has brought on all the
strife among our citizens about
a new charter? Do the people
want the charter of the Commit
tee of Twenty-Five or not, and if
not. do they want the one pro-
posed by Council? They don't
want commission form OF govern
ment. nor form as near like it
as this so-calIed peoples charter.
Let's see. In the fall OF 1911
an election was called for char
ter practically the same. The re-
suit was: For the charter. 2,96S;
against it, 4,963. After that in tAs
fall elections almost a new Coun-
ell was elected. Was it fo~ new
charter? The vote OF is TO 10
against it shows they are not.
1t is not the people demanding
new form Of government. Who
then. is il: A set Of men who for
several years have been trying TO
get control of the affairs OF the
city for some other purpose than
the general good. At the last
election for Mayor, Woodward
was elected.
The first meeting Of the Council
in January. 1913. when he was in
Quoted into office, one Councilman
asked for the appointment Of
committee for charter reform,
and the new Mayor at once began

Each Ward Makes Selection.

Franchises are to be dispose5
Of by the city. some people want
the sale of the waterworks and
some want q wide-open town.
The people can draw their own
differences.
When we have an election
now each ward selects its own
three representatives and elects
the heads Of the departments.
The Councilmen and Aldermen
are our neighbors and our
friends. We know them and
can put in office good men and
true. No clique or set of men
with schemes can defeat us. and
no Mayor elected by this set can
accomplish anything contrary
TO the expressed win Uf the peo-
pie. Vide; the present Council
and the vote taken.
Now my conclusions are.
]. oar Councilmen and officers
have been recently elected by the
people and well represent them.
.. That they are giving much
more to the city than they are
getting from the city, and they
are not getting fair play or a
square deal.

How New Council Voted.


Had any body of people asked
for it, Was there any mass
meeting or any other mode by
which it was made known to the
Council that a new charter was
wanted? Only about one year be-
fore the people voted it down.
The new Council was ready to,
and did vote it out. Who, then,
were the people? The newspa-
pers and the new Mayor, mostly.
The real people oppose the COM
mission government charter and
also the Committee of Twenty
five charter. and are rightly rep
resented by the is Councilmen
who DARED TO vote their convic-
tions and vote down this scheme.
The Councilmen and Aldermen
are not peanut politicians, as they
have been called. They are con-
tractors. lawyers. doctors, mer-
chants. insurance men and other
good citizens. and many of them
