The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1921-08-18

In the general discussion over the
numerous candidates for mayor, many
people are apt to forget the import
ance of electing members of council
who have the business judgment and
acumen to sit as a board of directors
on a corporation such as is the city
of Richmond
The council is an important body
They have the final word on all mat
ters of policy carried on by the city
They have the control of all ordi
nances which allow the spending OF
the taxpayers money. They hold a
whip hand over the entire admins
tration.
The personnel of council has moi
always been the most satisfactory
In too many cases the members have
not been selected because they have
the ability to pass an opinion on bust
ness questions and city policies, but
because personally they were con
genial.
Must Demand Ability
In voting for a councilman eacf
voter should ask himself which of tbs
candidates will work for the best in
terest of the city; which one is bes
fitted to be a director in a corpora

In looking over the candidates fo
council the voter may think that none
is fitted for the position of responsi

the senate bill which would permit
Major-General Leonard Wood to ac-
cept the governorship of the Philip

but sharp fight was predicted, sew

Representative Mckenzie, Republican,
Illinois, announcing they were op-
posed to the bill.
Mr.. Mckenzie said this would be A
dangerous precedent to permit an
army officer to hold a civilian posi-
ton while he retains his military
commission. General Wood, he held

wishes to accept the governorship of
