Declaring that the right to select
the chief. executives ipheres in the
people, that this right is fundamental
in popular government and cannot be
alienated without endangering the
safety Of the people. the declaration
Of principles unanimously adopted at
the meeting of the anti-city manager
organization Tuesday night states
that a city manager form OF govern
ment is reactionary in tendency and
conducive to no good ends.
The declaration was presented by
John Niewoehner, chairman of the
committee appointed at a public meet
ing a week ago. A general discussion
was held preceding the vote on the
adoption of the platform.
Arrangements for a mass meeting
with a speaker who has had expert
ence with the city manager form of
government is expected to be held
early next week. Gath Freeman, city
chairman, is in communication with
several speakers, he announced at
Tuesday nights meeting.
The declaration is as follows:
Whereas, the proposed city-mana-
ger plan of government provides that
luc SulSl CACCuIiSS VI al Z
officer of the city is to be chosen by
a commission elected by the people
and not by the direct vote of the
people, we believe that such form OF
government is reactionary in tendency
and is conducive to no good ends. We
hold that the right to select the chief
executive inheres in the people. This
right is fundamental in popular gov
ernment and it cannot be alienated
without endangering the safety of the
people and menacing their peace and
happiness.
Governments are instituted to Sc
cure to the people their inalienable
rights. These rights have found their
highest expression. and people have
achieved the greatest liberty and safe
ty and happiness. under the now LONG
established forms of government
found in the United States. The pres
ent form of city government, being
patterned after the form Of the federal
government, is commonly known as
the federal form Of city government
