are banking on the team coming

will not give Kalamazoo much of an

ARCHER CAN ACT
AS COMMISSIONER
Nothing in Charter to Keep
Him Out is View of City
Attorney j. ID. Spinney.

Insinuations going the rounds to
the effect that Albeit j. Archer cannot
hold the Office Of commissioner if
elected by the voters of Alma have
nothing TO back them up, unless one
considers the wind of the alderman
of the fourth ward, Mr. Fullerton, a
candidate for commissioner also, as
something.
1t has come 10 The Record from
two different, but reliable sources,
that Mr.. Fullerton, who succeeded in
getting sufficient names on his initia-
tory petition, to make him candi-
date for a commissioner for a short
term against Mr.. Archer. Mr.. Monti-
gel, Mr. Pollasky and Mr.. Creaser,
has cast a doubt in some minds as TO
whether or not Mr.. Archer could be
commissioner Il elected. because Of
the fact that he is member of the
school board here.
For fear that some may have taken
this gust of campaign wind TO mean
something-to really think that there
lis n question as to whether or not
Mr. Archer could hold the Office
The Record wishes 10 assure the vot-
ers that such Is not the case.
The gentleman whose qualifications
are questioned, a clean cut, capable
bookkeeper. and a man truly COM
petent TO act as a commissioner OF
this city. might lose votes through
such an insinuation, and it is possible
that Mr. Fullerton might thus gain
strength in this way. and it might
have been it was this thought which
might have prompted the insinuatior
from Mr.. Fullerton.
r The Record has gone carefully over
the charter and finds nothing that
would prevent Mr.. Archer from tax
ing the office if elected. II did fine
on page 33, "A place where il is eX
pressly stated that the department
Lin control Of the public schools shall
not be construed TO be a municipa
department. Hence the prohibition
in the charter relating TO a commits
sioner holding any other city office
could not by even the broad imagina
tion of Mr.. Fullerton, be made to in
clude Mr.. Archer.
Not satisfied entirely with our find
ings, the matter was put before tn
city attorney, who stated that ther
was nothing in the charter whicl
would keep Mr Archer from serving
as a commissioner.
Mr. Archer, himself, took the mat
ter up with the city attorney, Tn
Record has been informed, with
, view of saving the expense of tn
! primary election, if he could no

ter.
Possibly Mr. Fullerton is viewin
with alarm the strength of Mr.. Arch
er, and feels that if a "monke
wrench" can be thrown into tn
works that there will be a possibilit
of his nomination, but The Rec
ord would. like to see Mr.. Fuller
