The local political pot is not only
boiling. but has bubbled over.
The first real spash was heard We'd
nesday morning when the executive
committee Of the Citizens league held
meeting for the purpose OF discuss
ing plans for combating the proposed
recall OF the city administration.
THE executive committee is on tho
Job" Mr.. Jordan said in concluding his
remarks, "and we are prepared and Will
continue to be prepared to resist any
attempt to disrupt the affairs OF the
city Of Memphis and plunge our city
again into political strife. We feel that
we should do this in the interest Of the
city's welfare. and We will go the
limit"
Just now the committee itsn't saying
lust what II will do by way Of ward
ing off the uch-talked-of and little
seen recall The committee feels that
the next move is rather left to the
hackers Of the recall, and that mas
much as no petitions have been filed
with the city clerk, and nothing definite
Is known as to when they Will be filed,
that they are placed in a position of
"watchful waiting"
r. l.. Jordan, chairman OF the ex-
ecutive committee, presided at the
well attended meeting of the executive
committee Mrs. S. J. Ellis was the
only woman present at the meeting.
At the conclusion Of the discussion
Mr., Jordan stated that II was the pur-
pose of the executive committee Ts,,,t. to
back the administration TO the limit,
but that the form which this backing
Nyould take is a matter of conjecture at
this time. that there isn't dissent
ing vote in the committee, and that
the league as a whole feels the same
way A..
executive committee they are not In a
position to say just what line Of action
they win adopt in the event the recall
petitions are filed with the city clerk,
but II is understood on reliable au-
thority that court fight TO test the
constitutlonality OF he recall law will
be waged.
Mayor Paine and majoriy OF the
commission are understood To look with
disfavor upon the plan to dodge behind
legal technicality and would prefer
to go to the polls and seek vindlcation
Of their administration.
