E- Carrtaan, Mgr., Greensboro, N. C - prise. The speaker continued. "It we read the handwriting on the wall." he said, "there is going to be a bitter fight on that provision at Raleigh. I see in the afternoon papers that a mass meeting of cltlsens will be held Tuesday night to protest against It. We have been preaented with petitions against it signed by more than 2.000 voters. I make thia motion not for the purpose of opposing any of my col leagues on this question, but I be lieve the majority of Iht voters in the city are against the election of the mayor by the board of aldermen and j I am standing for what I believe to j be right! As I have stated before I noiu mat tne irirr-e aepartiin:iiL government should be separate and independent of each other. You may call the opposition to this plan, senti ment, you may call It what you will. It Is written ineradicably In the foun dation principles of the American government!" Alderman Dunn seconded this mo tion. Alderman Bland was the first man on the floor In opposition. "If we're going to meet hf-re one night and Jo a thing and then meet the next night and undo that, we will be in the posi tion of a certain King of France who marched up hill and marched down again." he objected obstinately. "This la a most extraordinary proceeding. I thought we came here simply to ratify the charter as already agreed on in ita fundamental principles. If we change it, we'll have no charter. That's all v "I don't think It would be right to send It to Raleigh changed without flrrt giving notice to the committee of ten and calling them together so that they could be heard," said the mayor. SHOULD RUN THE THING. "Mr. Chairman," said Colonel Kirk patrlck, up again In defense of his motion and In reply to the chair. "I hold that this body is ths accredited representative of the people cf Char lotte. The committee of ten was a body of men called In to advise us. This boarj, elected by the voters of the 40,000 Charlotteans. derived Its oiereign power from the sovereign pe.iple, and Is amenable only to them. 1 am opposed to our being directed any further Iy the committee of ten I adn)lt that the final court of appeal Is the General Assembly, but next to It In authority ranks the board of al dermen." Mr Shelor said: "I am not In favor of voting to make any Important change in this charter or amending any part of It. It has been understood all the time that whatever the com mittee of ten and the board agreed on tofether we should recommend to the Legislature." Alderman Bunn was under the im pression that if the aldermen couldn't change the document there was no uae In calling the meeting. A lively discussion followed In more or less haphazard fashion for several minutes. Mr Qaridaldl said that he didn't care how hard they fought it at Raleigh. All the board had to do was to frame the document according to Its judgment and its responsibility ceased. What do we care if the other side- goes to Raleigh In 60 car loads?" he wanted to know. "Let's get through with this thing. It looks like child' pla to agree on a thing one time an.i thf-n turn around and change it." Alderman Chambers offered an amendment to the motion so as to recommend to the Legislature Just what the hoard and the committee of ten had nureed pn. Alderman Mur phy BPconde.l this. "I hope this body will not make this dei Islon," said the orator from Jll worth. "I hope that this board out of self-respect will not p.tt Inself on record as being nothing but a figure head. If it does It deserves to he come the laughing stock of the com munity. (The Colonel was warming up by this time). The members who wore lected two years ago by the Busi ness Men's Municipal League were placed In office by the votes of the people and they owe to these people to see that the power to elect the mayor should remain vested In them.

Beware of unscrupulous Imitators, Hilo Gum Co., (Inc.) 127 Market 8L, Chicago. w will repudiate the power that put na here. There is a fight os in Char lotte against that first provision, The principle for which the fight is made is firmly embedded at the foundation of our government and In the hearts of our people. That principle is knocking at the door of this alder manic chamber to-night and it de serves to be heard." The colonel relerred to the fact that some of the present board of aldermen did not have to go out and scrap for -what they got in the last campaign and intimated that these did not represent the people directly. Mayor Franklin here took occasion to explain a suggestion which he had previously made and which had been embodied in the general amendment to decide whether or not the charter as a whole should receive re-consideration He thought the dissatisfied ones might as well see If they had strength enough to do anything and If not, to not waste time. THE FUN CONTINUES. Said Alderman Williams; "Mr. Chambers says we ought to adopt the recommendation of the committee of ten " Said Mr. Chambers: "I do not say that. I beg your pardon I said the agreement between the board of a'. dermen and the committee of ten. Colonel Kirkpatrlck said that some of us on this board do not represent the people. I came on this board at the solicitation of a number of prom inent citlxena and not of my own de sire. I didn't want to be here. I wish I was not now ' (A voice "We're glad to have you, Jesse ") He emphasized the fact of an agreement between the aldermen and the com mittee of ten and that It was in pur suance of that agreement that the board had met merely to ratify the phraseology of the lawyers. Ho didnt want to be put in the attitude of opposing what the people wanted. ,He showed that he was merely stand ing for what had been already decid ed on. Another speech from the alderman from the ninth ward was then in or der. He disclaimed intention of re flecting on Mr Chambers "There are a number of others here who were not in that Rent " "And there are some of the rest of H us you won t get In it again,' said H Mr, Jos. Garibaldi. ' "That's all right," shouted his fel- low-ward-man. waving his arms In ; emphasis. "I love a scrap. I hope I'll be scrapping when the Angel Gabriel sounds his trumpet! I'm go- , Ing to fight for what 1 believe to be right! I'll fight this provision here and I'm going to KaJeiah and fight , It, If the whole charter falls through!" I "Question," came the call. On the roll call the vote stood thus: ayes (for the amendment. which meant that the matter in general should not be re-opened). Aldermen Lee, Mu.rphy, Chambers, Shelor, Smith, Cave. Scott, Bland. Garibaldi 9 in all; nays: Henderson. Williams, Bunn, Severs and Kirkpatrlck 5. "Mr. Chairman," Bald the colonel (there Is only one on the board), "I move th,at this meeting do now ad journ " The question was put and a deep-voiced chorus of "no's" drown ed out the opposition. "There are only three things in the charter I object too and since there Is no possibility of my being heard, I ask to be excused," said Alderman Williams. Mr. Bunn wanted to at tend to business and the mayor had excused him. Colonel Kirkpatrlck had put on his overcoat and the trio was moving toward the door. 'Squire Severs, too. was prepalrng to make a break tor liberty, remarking that It wa 1 o'clock w-hen he got away the last time. "Hold on there," said the mayor to the crowd. "You haven't been ex cused yet. I'll withdraw mv excuse of Mr. Bunn for the present. Let's see If we've got a quorum. I'll have the clerk lock the door if necessary." "I'll lock It all right. If you want me too," said Mr. Wearn, coming for ward with a smih-. This was found not to be necessary, as a quorum was still present and tho departing members were allowed to go In peace. It was decided by the board, on suggestion of the mayor, nfter dis cussion, to ratify the document as it stood, provisionally. A committee of Aldermen Chambers. Garibaldi, Scott and Lee (though the latter protested that his wife was waiting on him) to hear the chaTtor n ad In detail. If they found anything wrung with it or anything which they thought needed the attention of te board, a meeting would be called. Then the reading before the committee proceeded.
