LESTER OPPOSES
ANDERSON FOR
POLICE BOARD
Seventh Ward CounciImen to
Support Former, CompIicating
Race for Chairman.

Following the announcement that
friends of Marcellus NJ. Anderson
were urging him as successor to
Carlos H. Mason, chairman of the
Police Commission, a bitter fight has
developed in Council over the re-
election of Mr. Anderson as Seventh
Ward Police Commissioner
1t will be recalled that in Decem
Der Council snapped places between
MIR Anderson, Seventh Ward mem
her of the Board of Education, and
j. n. McEachern, Seventh Ward Po-
lice Commissioner. Knowing that
Mr.. McEachern was ineligible to
succeed himself as Police Commits
sioner when the election should come
up in March, the Seventh Ward dele
gates to the 1914 Council had de-
termined on Fred Lester as the man
for the place.
To Support Lester.
The Seventh Ward delegation at a
conference Thursday decided that
they would stand by Lester, despite
Andersons candidacy for re- detection.
For Council to elect Anderson will
require the overriding of the long
established precedent of allowing the
ward delegations in Council to name
the board members from their wards
Friends of Anderson claim that they
have IS votes for him in Council out
side of the Seventh Ward delega ton
Members of the Seventh Ward dele
cation assert they don't believe it.
AS the reelection of Mr. Anderson
would mean a new fight against Com
missioner w. P. Fain, of the Second
Ward, for the craftsmanship, Fain's
friends are very much interested in
are confident he will be chosen to
succeed Mason.
Budget Involved.
The fight also has a bearing on-the
controversy over the budget. A new
caucus has bean called by the oppo-
nents of the budget for Thursday aft
ernoon. Alderman Jesse Armistead
and Councilman s. L. Dallas. of the
Seventh Ward, are supporting the
caucus program. But they are threat
ening to bolt the caucus if they are
not assured that their nomination for
Police Commissioner is sustained.
Their threat has weight, for the Off
cials leading the caucus fight are the
same men backing Marcellus Ander-
son for reelection TO the Police
Commission and then chairman Of
the Commission.

BANK
SEEKERS. HAVE
HOLE CARD
Committee Working Daily on
Surprise" Which 1t Declares
Will Cap Climax of Fight.

The regional bank committee has
something up its sleeve.
For the last week meetings have
been held almost daily. The sessions
are executive" and all that is given
out is to the effect that a great lot of
detail work is being done, by way of
presenting the organization board, at
the hearing in Atlanta, with all the
information and statistics it may de-
sire.
And not only that.
BY the time the organization board
reaches Atlanta" said one of the
members of the Joint committee Fri
day, the members will have found
out lot of things they want to know
that they hadn't thought to ask about
at the first hearings in New York and
Boston.
Get Strong Array of Facts.
In other words, they will be IN
good practice, and it's up to us to get
together line of information that will
not fall away and leave us stranded
when some new question pops us.
Furthermore, it is fact that we
hope to show the board in Atlanta
something in the way OF statistics
llldl Will lay over any lnlnS any Otner
city has yet offered. For that rea-
son, we are not giving out any par
ticulars as to our work-not yet.
There's no sense in tipping off good
hand-and we know we hold the
cards. We are going to show the or
ganiZation board something new"
Also, the organization board is to
be shown a good time generally while
it is here.
