i their political wellfare depends en
tirety upon the mulntalnance of the
present police force, not only that the
very existence of the democratic
sometimes called "cltlxens" party Is
dependent upon It. Remove this
force, and the democratic party, and
Its nuondam friend "citlsen" dissolves
In thin air. It the people of Astoria
consider this question, regardless of
factional feeling;, let us throw aside
the question as to what people ought
of right control the republican party,
and discuss this question fairly and
honestly.
That the city charter, expressly pro
vldca for the election and maintain
ance of three police commissioners
whose duties are to have control of
the police force of the city, and en
force and order, and the ordinances
of the city Is not to be disputed. That
there Is not and bos not been a police
commission for a number of years la
equally true. Who la to blame for
this? Is the republican partyT or is
the democratic party? The charter
provides, that all vacanles caused by
the resignation of any official of the
city, shall be filled. If poll com
missioner, by the mayor with the con
sent of a majority of the council, and
shall hold office until the next general
election. If any reader of this paper
doubta thia statement, let him ex
amine, sections 27, 18 and 137 of the
charter. Mr. S. 8. Gordon, against
whom there can be said no evil, was
appointed by the mayor, and council.
to fill a vacancy caused by the resig
nation of John Kopp; this appoint
ment was made prior to the general
city election for the year 1902: his
term of office expired, If the charter Is
to be followed, at the general election
held In this city In December, 1. But
were the people allowed to select his
successor? Did the council call for
the election of a commissioner to nit
this vacancy? not any. W. J. Cook
has been absent from mis ciiy, ior
. . . l II.. Unas
n.nnv vpuri he wan mi nmij
v
nw,n un his renl.1en:e outside of the
county. This hos been for years. W. H.
Darker has likewise removed from the
city, and with his family Is now living
nt Vancouver. Vt. C. Tet no sound
comes from the common council. Why
nil this? The answer Is plain, by the
aid of the pollec force of this city, a
majority of the common council are
democratic, that taken with th fact
that the city attorney Is also demo
cratic, or clttxen, aa best aulta his pur
pose Is all sufficient.
The people are considering thegn
questions. No city will long submit
to have Its politics controlled by n
police force, yet such Is the case right
here In this city, and that, too. In the
face of the charter, requiring this force
to be under the control of a police
commission, comprised of three elect
ors of this state, each of whom Is re
quired to be a resident and taxpayer
of this city.
While the methods adopted by a row
republicans may not have been the
best, neither the democrats nor the
cltliena have an right to complain, for
If the position taken by these republic
ans Is correct, the shame and disgrace.
and blame of It all rests upon th
shoulders of the democratic party, and
Its offsDrlna- cltlaens. If the law Is
against the contention of these people
then no harm can come of It, and they
are to blame. But If It should turn out
that they are correct, then what pos
sible excuse have the democratlc-cltl-
xens to offer, for this deliberate usur
pation of power. It Is up to the com
mon council to do Its duty regardless
of party or small politics; the people
are now awake, they propose to have
police commission, and If It Is not
given them by the council, the courts
will surely be appealed to, and the out
come seema to be with the people. .
