NO PLACE FOR CITY EMPLOYES.

Comptroller Pearson Turns Down
Chairmanship of City Committee.

It was suggested yesterday to Gus Pearson, city comptroller, that he accept the chairmanship of the Republican city committee and supervise the details of the approaching municipal campaign.

"Were I not a city employe I would gladly accept the position, but I'm just old-fashioned enough to believe that no city employe should accept such a position," said Mr. Pearson.

"In order to have a representative and an effective organization for our next municipal campaign, I would suggest that one representative from each precinct be selected by the regular ward organization, and that the presidnt of each ward club, together with the city central committee, constitute the executive committee, with the chairman of the city central committee acting as the chairman of such executive committee, ex-officio."
