(By Llewxam.) Raleigh, N. C, Jan. 11, 1911. Repre ss ntative Kellum, in a statement to The Dispatch correspondent this taf teniocm, said: r "1 shall favor and ad vocate the passage p a municipal re iYr. ni bill (Commission Form; of Gov ernment) that will enable the voters o; the city of Wilmington to fy)th nom inate, b' primary, and" elect by popu lar vote such men as they choose, to be commissioners, at a future . elec tion." - -'. (Upon receiving this wire about 2 o'clock this afternoon The Dispatch immediately wired its Raleigh corre spondent to. ask Representative Kellum to define his ''future election,'-as the term was too vague, and asking him if it meant present appointment or an election like is had under all real com mission form of government bills, the Greensboro bill passing the Senate to days and calling for an election next rip nth. .Up to the time of going to press the correspondent had been un able to locate Mr. Kellum. If "future election" means appointees' to hoid forth for a yeap orNtwo years, the statement is a bombastic one,. for ap plause, and will not be well received. In two years . from now it would -likely be convenient to appoint, again.: Tbe election should .take place . hetwesn now and May, That is the Democratic way, the fair way, the way the people of Wilmington., are '.'now d.erhancfjngf and should demand. . Subterfuges will not do. You can't fool the people, all the time, and now people's .eyes are be ing opened. However, we db ;not charge that Mr. Kellum means 'ap pointees, and we trust, for the benefit of the Democratic party, good govern ment, and fair play, he doesn't. Mr. Kellum was elected by the people and we want to think he stands for the people. We await the answer). New Hanover's Representative fig ured prominently in the. House today. Concerning the bills introduced by him, as enumerated below, Mr, Kellum tolls me that one of them restores the triplication of the General State auto in its application to New Hanover, by repealing the Morton special'act, and that another enables policemen, and other municipal officers tef secuf e pay as witnesses in certain cases.
