Citizens' League to Choose
Men As Candidates For City
Offices.
i
The Citizens' League last evening
adopted the "close balloting" system
for tho selection of tho leaguo's can
didates for nomination for Council
men and recorder at tho city caucus
November 1G. The league will select
Its candidates at tho meeting next
Thursday evening.
Last night's session of tho new or
ganization was well attended, be
tween 100 and 150 being present.
A large number of municipal matters
were brought up for discussion, one
of tho principal matters being to de
termine the publicity that should be
given the proceedings of the organ
ization. Some wanted to make its
meetings secret from now on (includ
ing Inst night's session), while others
argued that as the organization was
supposed to be for the advancement
of the Interests of Mnrshfleld and all
Its citizens, practically the entire pub
lic, it should be a public organization
and all of its actions bo open to tho
public.
A motion that tho proceedings bo
kept secret was amended to provide
that n committee consisting of Jesse
Luse, L. A. Copple and Dan Malo
ney of The Times, be named as a can
didate of censors to determine what
part of the proceedings should bo
made public. Mr. Maloney who had
opposed making any part of tho pro
ceedings secret stated that his posi
tion as newspaperman would not per
mit his acting as a censor on any
thing and asked Chairman Johnson
to appoint some ono olso in his place.
After his refusal to servo as n censor
to withhold any of tho proceedings
of the gathering, tho meeting decided
not to make it a secret organization.
Councilman SacchI, Eugene O'Con
noll, Carl Albright, F. S. Dow and
others engaged In a lengthy discus
sion of the error by tho city in as
sessing Mr. O'Connoll and tho Mer
chant estato for an Intersection on
Sixth street which had not been built.
Mr. SacchI oxplnined how tho error
had been made but somo of tho
speakers criticised tho city engineer
ing and bookkeeping departments for
permitting such an error to occur.
Councilman Sacchi spoko at
length on tho city's financial condi
tion and what should be done to
"trim" municipal expenses In tho fu
ture so that tho debt can bo roduced.
Ho explained tho "Current Expenses
Fund" and how it enabled city em
ployes to secure their salaries in
cash Instead of city warrants that
could not be cashed.
Carl Albright commonded tho work
of Councilmen SacchI and Nelson on
tho city council and. said that their
work thero entitled them to more
credit from the public than Is gener
ally given.
It was urged that all members of
tho league bo in attendance at tho
meeting next Thursday night when
tho league's candidates will be named
and alBo to bo in attendance at tho
city caucus November 10, to support
theso candidates.
It Is likely that tho leaguo will
support F. M. Freldberg for chair
man of tho city caucus. C. A. John
son was suggested as a candidate for
chairman of the caucus but It Is like
ly that ho will bo a candidate for
councilman.
