-~-o-o~~~~~~~-~~~~~-~~o~o ~~o~o~~-~~~-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
City Attorney Barnum delivered
one Of the abIest opinions on the law
governing the time limits for filing
petitions ever heard in this city, and
annotated it with numerous court de-
His opinion in brief was that mas
much as the managers of the "oppC-
sition Hackett- Corners Barr ticket
had failed to file a sufficient number
of names on their petitions, and had
then come in two days late with ad-
GitionaI names, that the petitions of
Hackett, Conners, Barr and Barnett
were invalid under the law and the
city constitution.
Expressions of gfee crossed the
features Of the members of the "citi-
zens' committee" who sat in the au-
dience:
Then CITY Commissioner Joe irvine
{ rose and said that fnasmucn as

Roehurer stated his approval OF it, (

Whereupon gloom settled over the I

because their only issue had been
and had collapsed without |
even faint hiss, let alone the ex-
plosion they had hoped for.
The Commission then instructed |
the city clerk to deputize as MANY
Legionnaires as needed to man the |
registration stations throughout the |
city to make it convenient for the |
people to register.
This finished the tragedy. The
members Of the militant 'citixens |

free.
Finally after Mr.. Provost had dis
posed Of all the arguments and most
of the arguers and a long silence
ensued in which everybody seemed to
be idly wondering if he had gone
away from home and left the water
running in the bath tub, some one
suggested that everybody adjourn.
This was greeted with relieved ayes"
by those present and the session
broke up quickly with a general ap-
pearance of not having at all reached
the expectations of it's sponsors as
to numbers present, spirit worked up

wrench into the works and in a few
minutes nobody knew where anybody
else stood. First Mr.. Provost pro
tested against the meeting being
turned into a Hackett love feast.
Next he informed the meeting that
it could not coerce the City Com
mission to violate the law by send
ing canyassers into homes to regis
ter voters, as that was against the
City constitution.
Mr.. Provost then dWelt forcibly and
effectively on the fact that the labor
ing people wanted to know where
the different candidates stood, what
their platforms were, how they felt
about municipal ownership and op-
Grafton of public utilities, particularly
the Street Railway system, which is
already under municipal ownership
and operation. He then called upon
Mr. Hackett to tell the meeting where
he stood on those questions.
HAcKETT "sMokED OUT"
Mr.. Hackett smoked OUT. after
having, up to this point, been very
successful in saying nothing much,
broke loose and in a heated and very
emphatic manner informed the meet
ing that he was against municipal
ownership Of public utilities, that he
was against municipal operation Of
public utilities, that he thought the
city had no business owning or op-
Grating the street car system. and
made it plain in so many words that
anybody who wanted municipal own
ership or operation of the street rail-
way needn't vote for Mr. Hackett,
expecting him to carry out any such
policy
Mr. Hackett did not say what he
would do with the street railway sys-,
tenn If he were elected mayer: He
old not state whether he would
Junk it, sell it or just let it go to
sleep and have no operation at all.
This event put a noticeable damp
er on the meeting Several of those
present then began to express their.
views in favor Of municipal owner,
ship and operation OF utilities and
Oscar Irwin and others of the self
appointed "citizen's committee made
an heroic but futile effort to stem
