PRESENTED FOR BISHOP ENGLAND'S
CONSIDERATION
TO BISHOP CHARLES ENGLAND:

~
TO BISHOP CHARLES ENGLAND:
Dear Bishop: have been debating with myself for
the last few days whether should reply to your personal
article in your personal organ addressed to personal
~, and from the fact that think you thoroughly de-
serving of reply, have decided to do So
When first read your article admit Dear Bishop
was stunned. Your argument was so weghty, your
theme delightful and your rhetoric superbly beau
tfu that really felt inadequate to reply began look
ing around for to take the job for me- but as
you have cornered all the real high class journalistic u
nares in this neck of the woods your personal organ
find must attempt myself, allow your effort to
pass unnotced SO perplexed am, in sharpening my
pencil to measure points with you am going to do the
best can. Rys ,s...~s AGA ~uss.
In the first place, dear Bishop, you will pardon me
for saying you uncharitable as note fully half
OF your article is devoted to your personal whine Incl
dent to your defeat in the Second ward and in order
relieve your pent feelings you take advantage Of your
Illegal acts in the Fourth ward matter to pull off your
own personal explosion. Really your own personal de-
feat funeral of the Fourth wards and for giving
you this opportunity, think you owe debt Of gra
ttude 80,
In looking over your article see it touches on the
following FOURTEEN POINTS: >g8
FIRST-THE TRUTH You are right in saying that
the public is entitled to know the truth And what is the
truth? Nothing more nor less than what the Repubi-
published in its former issues Mr. West moved from
the Fourth ward last June since that time the Fourth
ward has not had member of the Board Of Education
The board which you presided failed to call cleo
ton, and few days after the date when the election
Weston Vernon was appointed You practically admit all
of this
SECOND-MR. VESTS REMOVAL FROM THE
FOURTH WARD. You admit that you knew Mr. West
had moved but you did not know he had moved out of
the ward" and you sorry that Mr. Tarbet had
not advised you earlier that you could have called
election You sorry, that you called Mr.. West
within half hour and instructed him in the law that
words this two three days" before the date for
the school election 1t only took you oneha hour to get
Mr. West and tell him he disqualified under the law,
and yet three days not time enough for you to call
meeting of the Board of Education and arrange for an
election in the Fourth ward Were you sorry to lose
Mr. West and sorry that Mr. Tarbet had called your
attention to something you aleady knew existed but did
not know its extent that you entirely forgot the people
of the Fourth ward, dear Bishop?
THIRD-MR. VESTS RESERVATIONS: Mr..
Vests resignation is so ridiculous as to almost foresta
did not hold? He was out of office the he moved
from the ward He moved in June according to his own
words He voted out of the ward in November and now
you say he resigned as member of the Fourth in
December Such falacy, such deception, such chldsI
play such Elusive. misleading sophistry When on when
will you ever learn to do your small bit to make the world
safe for democracy bishop?
FoURTH-YOUR REFUSAL TO TAKE PART IN
THE ELECTION OF MR.. VESTS ELECTION
After preaching for years in multitude Of,
council there is wisdom" you withhold your
wise council from your three fellow members. After be-
ing party to deprvng the Fourth ward of its rights
under the law elect its member you then refuse
permit the Second ward to have voice in the selection
Now Bishop you have long advocated the cause Of the
many against the few and don't you think If the First
Third and Fifth wards entitled to act the Second
ward was entitled to act in this matter also? And furth
err Bishop after this matter had gone from June until
December 7th, and you going to retire from the
Board would it not have looked little better would you
not have been just little bigger had you sad Gen
tleen going to retire in twenty-five days, and will
be succeeded by honored citizen of my ward who will
have to work with you and the member and there
fore suggest that this matter pass until my
sor takes his seat" simply suggest this, Bishop, and
ask you why the hurry all at once? You good enough
