Mr.. Williams Ineligibility

Mr.. Williams goes into a lengthy explanation
Of his removal to Mississippi and attempts to
show how it was possible for him to hold his citi-
zenship in Memphis and at the same time to trans
fer it to Horn Lake, Miss. There is nothing new
in his argument. Every feature of it has been
riddled by the best lawyers of Memphis. It does
not require a lawyer, however, to know that MIR.
Williams could not have a right to exercise his
privileges as a citizen in two precincts, in two diff
ferent states at the same time,
His very statement of the facts is a confession
that he surrendered his citizenship in Memphis
when he voted in all election in De Soto County
in 1915, swearing that he had, at that time, been
a citizen of De Soto County, Mississippi, for two
years.
Williams makes the issue. The Citizens
League Ticket could have no better issue than Mr..
Williams record on which to make their cam
paign.
1t is so vulnerable that no one except Mr..
Williams would undertake to defend it in toto.
His best friends would not attempt to uphold
many of the acts of which he seems to be proud.

Squandering the Public Assets

No one has accused Mr.. Williams of personal
dishonesty. Everybody admits that he is a genial,
likable fellow. But this does not go to his merit
as a public officer. 1t was perhaps his weakness,
as much as his desire, to profit by their assist
ance in building up his machine, that prompted
Mr.. Williams to give away the public franchises
to the public service corporations during his adj
ministration as Mayor.
He attempts to justify his g~ratuities on the
ground that the corporations were induced to
make considerable expenditures here in return for
the favors he granted them.
It is stated that the Illinois Central Railroad
established it's shops here in consideration of the
80 year franchise given to them on the river
front. There is every reason to believe that the
I. G. shops would have been located in Memphis
in any event. This was the logical place for the
plants that they have placed here, but if this fran
chise were the chief inducement for locating the
shops in Memphis, the price paid was exorbitant.
There is no denial of the fact that this franchise
was worth $40, 000, 000, as shown by the rise in
value CT the stock Of the road as soon as it re-
ceived the gift.
Shortly after receiving it's franchise, the Belt
Line road filed a mortgage for 81, 0 O,000, on the
face of which it gave as the basis of its assets,
valuable rights, privileges and franchises from
the taxing district of Shelby County, under and
by virtue of certain contracts in writing with the
said taxing district, dated the 9TH day of January,
1890, and the 9Th day Of November, 1890, and has
acquired additional valuable rights, privileges
and franchises from the City of Memphis under
certain order of said city, passed and approved
on the 9Th day Of June, 1902"

Paine's Constructive Platform

While Mr.. Paine and his colleagues, however,
reserve the right to criticize this record, and while
they feel it their duty to show up it's salient de-
fects, they are not relying on this chiefly in seek
ing the support of the voters of Memphis. They
rely chiefly on their constructive, progressive
platform and their determination to give Memphis
a clean and efficient government, free from the
factionalism and the corrupt politics that has been
such a curse to this city.
They believe that the people of Memphis de-
mand and are going to have a new deal.

Mr.. Williams Record

It has been demonstrated many times in this
campaign that Mr.. Williams record is exactly op-
posed to the chief claims of the Citizens League
candidates on the confidence of the people.
AS Mr.. Williams is running on his record and
stands by every feature in it, coming forward day
after day with page advertisements in the Mem
phis newspapers to defend it, he makes it the
issue of the campaign.
He and his followers, therefore, have no
ground for accusing his opponents of mud sling
ing when this record is attacked.
Indeed, the Citizens League would be I'M
faithful to it's duty if it failed to accept the chal-
lenge and to show up the vulnerable points in his
forty years career as an officeseeker and a holder
of office.
Yesterday morning the career of J. j. Will
liams was given in three chapters in a page ad-
vertisement, and he is now seeking to write a
fourth chapter as an officeholder at the expense
of the people of Memphis,
The volume is too long drawn out to review
it in detail. Only it's salient features can be
touched in one article.
In the first chapter it is shown that every
time he was reappointed or re-elected to office, it
was because he had shown marked executive
ability But it is not related what the reasons
were for his defeat time and again in other cleo
lions.
The second chapter is a labored effort to ex-
plain why he piled up the tax rate TO $288 on the
taxpayers-the highest tax rate ever known in
Memphis. He takes credit for the entire sewer
system, whereas, as a matter of fact, this system
was started and had been largely developed many
years before Mr.. Williams became Mayor.
He throws bouquets at himself because he did
not issue any bonds. AS a matter of fact, it was
impossible for him, under the law, to issue any
general liability bonds. The Flippin bonds were
then in existence. They were issued in 1879 and
ran for thirty years. One Of the conditions under
which they were issued was that no other bonds of
this kind could be issued until the Flippin bonds
were matured and paid.
1t was not until 1909, therefore, that the city
could incur any further bonded indebtedness
which would be a lien upon the property of the
whole city. What Mr.. Williams ascribes to him
The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1919-10-30

self as a virtue, therefore, was merely a matter of
necessity.
The Citizens League is not undertaking to
defend the record of any administration. The
merits and dement's of other administrations is
not now the case in point.
It may be safely affirmed, however, that if
the Citizens League candidates are elected they
will carry out their platform of economy and eff
cheney, and that there will be no tax rate of $2.88
and no bond issue for which they are responsible
that will not give value received for every dollar
spent.

Why the Women
Demand a New Deal

One of the chief reasons why the women of Tennessee were granted
the suffrage was the belief that they would lift public affairs out Of
the mre of politics.
It was believed that their influence would lead to the nomination
of better candidates for office, to fair and orderly elections and to the
choice of high class men and women to fill the places of public trust.
Men who had lost faith in our elections and despaired of bringing
about an Improvement in machine politics, and who had, in utter dis
gust, even quit going to the polls, took heart again.
They saw in the women a vvifyng and purifying element that
would lead to a newer and better order of things.
Immediately took steps to justify the hope that had been reposed in
them.
The first and foremost demands of these women were that the
criminal laws be strictly enforced, that the schools should be fostered
and improved, that the public health should receive the most careful at
tention, that the streets should be well kept up, the parks properly po-
Iced, the Juvenile Court sustained, and, in short, that Memphis should
be made a clean, orderly and pleasant place to live in and raise fam
lilies.
These good women knew they could never attain these ends most
dear to them through the old factonal aignments, and they instructive
N revoted at the slime and crookedness of machine politics.
They knew that their only hope of carrying out the things nearest
to their hearts lay in electng nonfactional and nonpoitical candidates
to office.
The platform of the Citizens League is the embodiment of their de-
mands. The Citizens League candidates are the ideal men to carry out
their purposes. It is perfectly natural, therefore, to find the great ma
jority Of the progressive women of Memphis lined up in this election
for Rowlett Paine and his associates.
Mr.. Paine and his colleagues are lined up with no faction in poll
tics. They wear no mans collar. They have not sought the support of
any of the factional leaders. They have never held office and have
no political alliances or entanglements to embarrass them.
The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1919-10-30

The gift of such a franchise as this can be de-
Tended on no proper grounds. The same may be
said of the other extravagant gifts to the public
service corporations during the eight years of Mr..
Williams former administration. They have been
enumerated so often that it is needless to give
them here in detail again.
1t must be said that the corporations repaid
Mr.. Williams by supporting him at every election
and contributing to building up his machine in
every conceivable way.
The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1919-10-30

With Paine as Mayor, the good women know that they have a gen
eal commander in charge who will have no purpose except to give
them a clean and patriotic administration, for which they have been
hoping and praying, and which they are in position for the first time
to support with their ballots.
They know that with John B. Edgar in charge of the police this
department will no longer be used as a political machine, but will be
required to thoroughly police the city and make it so safe for women
and girls that such hideous wrongs as were done to Hazel Bray and
to Mary Thompson will never occur in the city again.
They know that with T. H. Allen as commissioner of Streets,
Bridges and Sewers they will have a high class engineer who knows
his business, and will put our thoroughfares in such condition that the
public will no longer be inconvenience and endangered as they now are.
They are assured that with Chas. R. Shannon, a splendid public &C
countant, at the head Of the Finance Department order will be brought
out of the chaos of the city's budgets and accounts.
They know that with Horace johnson as commissioner of Public
Utilities, Buildings and Grounds, they will have a competent and eff
Gent public official who will devote himself solely to the duties of his
office and not use it as a political asset.
They will have a guaranty that in their collective capacity these
men will use every means within their power to support and improve
the public schools of the people with no purpose in view except to Sc
cure the highest results in the education of our boys and girls.
rying out the nonfactonal purpose announced in the beginning, and if, in
50 doing, it becomes necessary for them to oppose with their votes a
factional politician, who has never known anything except machine meth
dds, it is an unfortunate fact that they cannot avoid.
Their main purpose is to secure a new deal and to support the con-
structive and progressive measures t.
