CHAMBER ASKED
BY SHEPPARD TO
REPRESENT CITY
Officials Party To Con-
troversy Fear To Take
Up Fight

A movement was inaugurared in
Americus today for the organization
OF opposition to the application of
the Americus Lighting Company for
a substantial increase IN the races for
Aghtlng and gas as applied for, hear
ing on which will be held before the
state railroad commission IN Atlanta
March "a, at 10 am. The movement
had not taken shape this afternoon
but was expected to do so within the
next "a hours.
Although it had been believed in
some quarters that the city officials
would initiate the opposition, Mayor
j. E. Sheppard stated this morning
that this matter had been discussed
among city officials and it was decid-
ed that it might be prejudicial to the
contest of the consumers if they were
to make the fight against the in
crease, the city officials having been
a party to the recent and still un-
settled controversy between the COM
pany and the city relative to furnish
ing power for pumping city water,
Mayor Sheppard stated that this was
NV w NC SOiSlIu Iueu, however, as
meaning that the officials would let
the movement go by default, and
that he had suggested to officials of
the Chamber of Commerce that this
body, representative of the whole
community, undertake to present the
consumers side Of the case at the
hearing. A meeting of the board of
directors to consider the matter is ex-
pected to be called at once.
There was decided feeling among
electricity and gas consumers today
that the application should be vigor-
ously contested, and indications were
that an interesting session of the
railroad commission will develop from
the hearing, March "a.
Mayor Sheppard, having received
the acceptance of the Lighting Com
pany to his proposal to let three men
fix a reasonable rate for the contlnu-
alton of the company's emergency
service at the pumping plant, replied
by letter this morning stating that
the matter would be taken up at the
next meeting of the city council. IN
der the terms of the agreement, the
city is to name one arbitrator, the
company one, and Chairman Murphey
Gambler of the railroad commission
one.

PEACE ACTIVITIES
OPEN AT SOUTHER
Engineer Officer Here To
Store 700 Motors
Permanently

What he regards as the beginning
of permanent peace time ACTIVITY at
Souther Field was started today by
Captain G. G. Molleson, of the engin-
eering department of the Air Service,
with headquarters in Washington,
upon his arrival for the purpose of
placing in permanent storage the 700
airplane motors in the aviation ware
house. Capt Molleson's task will re-
quire four months to complete, with
follow up operations of some me
longer, and calls for the immediate
expenditure of at least $4,000, and
the eventual expenditure of probably
$4,000 to $4,000, most of the
money for labor.
Capt. Molleson today issued a call
for several laborers for immediate
employment at the aviation depot.
He redlires two carpenters, eight
mechanical helpers and five colored
laborers, with four months of work
for the two latter groups. The pay
will be in line with other wages in
this community so as not to compete
unfairly with local employers. He
desires only dependable men.
The carpenters will be employed in
building platforms, compartments,
ETC., for storage purposes. The mo-
tors, which are now encased, will all
be opened up and parts removed and
classified, with all parts thoroughly
oiled inside and out and rehovod
The 700 motors consist of so Lib.
erty motors, 250 American motors Of
o. her types, and 400 motors of Ger
man, French and Italian makes. The
German motors were surrendered un-
der the terms of the armistice and
the Allied types were shipped here
for purposes of study by air service
engineers.
"When General Menoher returned
to Washington recently. after his trip
of inspec ion he started things"
said Captain Molleson. "He found
that, through orders from Washing.
on, the engineer ng staff at Souther
Field consisted of an engineer ng of.
fcer and a stenographer, which was
r diculous. 1t now looks like perma-
nert activities were opening at this
field on a peace time basis. We shall
attempt to get a permanent force
hero 70 take care of this valuable
equipment in storage, which requires
constant looking after"

HOOVER WOULD MAKE
RACE ON PRINCIPLE
Not Candidate, TIE Says;
Against Reactionaries
And Radicals

NEW YORK, March 10.-Herbert
Hoover has let it be known that he
would accept the office of president
of the United States if drafted by
the people. But he still maintains
that he is not a seeker after the of.
flee, and that such an actitud5 IS re-
pellant to him. Again he disavows
partisanship, asserting that principle
should come ahead of party. Stating
that he was formerly aligned with the
Progressive Republican party before
the war, and was a non-partisan dur
ing the war, he still objects to the
reactionary group in the Republican
party and the radical group in the
Democratic party.
Hoover's letter was received by
Ralph Arnold, of Los Angeles, New
York representative of the snake
Hoover President Club" of Caiifor-
MIA.
The letter followed the action of
a group of prominent Ca'ifornians
residing in this city in appointing a
committee to go to Washington to
ask Mr.. Hoover to make known his
position.
Asserting that while 'such pro-
posals are indeed a great honor, l
:eel that | cannot alter the attitude
that l have consistently preserved" !"
Hoover's letter continued:
First, l 'am an independent pro-
gressive in the issues before US to-
day. l think that at this time the is
sues before the country transcend
pardsanship. 1t is well known that
| was a progressive Republican be-
fore the war and | think rightly, a
non-partisan during my war service.
The issues confronting US are new
and the alignment upon them has not
yet been made by the great parties.
[ still object as much to the reac-
tionary group in the Republican par
ty as | do to the radical group in the
Democratic party.
Not Seeking Office.
Second, l am not seeking public
office, and, consulting my own per-
sonal inclinations, do not want pub
lie office. l cannot prevent any citi-
zen or group of citizens from agltat-
ing that l should take public Office,
but | cannot conscientiously partici-
pate in any organization to that end.
81 belong to a group which thinks
that the American people should Sc
lect their own officials at their own
initiative and voltion and that resent
he manufacture of officials by ma
chine methods. / feel sure that if
entered the race for nomination to
ohe presidency and undertook to So
cit and spend the cost of propagan-
da and organization this would be in
itself negation of the right Ameri-
can instinct, because of the oblga-
tions that it all implies. thoroughly
believe that l, like any other citizen,
should always be ready for service
when really called upon, but to go
out and try to persuade the publ c
to call me is opposed to my every in
s,inct.
Third, l hope to have the affec-
ton of my countrymen, but my ambi-
tion is to remain a common citizen,
ready to engage in team-play with
my organization and leadership that
has for its objective the consumma-
ton and maintenance of great issues

THINKING FIRST
NEED, SHERWOOD
SAYS, LEAVING
Task Ahead Here Outlin.
ed By Sherwood AS
He Leaves

Herbert S. Sherwood, of the Ameri-
can City Bureau, who assisted in put
ting on the Chamber of Commerce
membership campaign here in Feb
ruary and remained for week in
charge of the preliminary re-organ-
ization work, left Tuesday night for
the east, expecting to go to Cam
bridge, Mass, for campaign after
stopping for day or two at his home
in Brooklyn.
At the membership meeting at the
library Tuesday afternoon. Mr.. Sher-
wood took occasion to express his ap-
probation for the kind treatment he
had received during his work here
and the friendships he had made, and
expressed the wish that he could re-
main longer. Frank Lanier, chair
man of the meeting, assured him that
he had made a most favorable i'm
preston In the community, and that
his leaving was regretted.
Before his departure Mr.. Sherwood
gave out a prepared statement for
the information of the members of
the reorganized Chamber which is
as follows:
When the expansion campaign clos

Chamber of Commerce was a box of
application cards representing some

"The man-power and its ambitions

public interest and benefit.
Il, of course, believe in party or
ganlzation but it must be tor the pro-
notion of any issue, | spend most
of my time agitating for issues that
| believe in. 1t is the privilege of
all of US to hold our own views and
It is our duty to express them when
called upon TO do so. But no man
can be so arrogant as to assume that
ne can dictate the issue to the Amer
can people or to the great parties
hey support.
-Four h, you and your friends have
urged that 1 should undertake to or
game propaganda for myself as rep
reSenUlng issues, by enCerlng into
competition tor nomination by great
parry aside from those mentioned
above. This implies entry upon a
road of self-seeklng, whereas my
view is that | should agItate for the
.ssues, not for my,elf. You rightly
say that joining sheer organization
without issues IS SIMPLY office-hunt-
ng without regard to public services.
Finally, | am not so ignorant as
not to realize perfectly well that such
a course does not lead to nomination
o the presidency, but would not
be myself if | started out on a path
of self~seeking to obtain any Office"
