I aii returning with my veto Resolution
No. 1320, adopted September 10, 1934, memorializing
the City Democratic Central Co,- =ittee to set a date
for the Primary about the first of November and setting
forth certain reasons therefor.
I aan not considering the i,ierits of the
premises upon which the Resolution is based, although
I have rny• personal opinion as to those staterrients, but
my reason for vetoing this Resolution is that it ,is
partisan and political in its aim and is not a proper
matter for consideration by the City Council. The
City Council is a legislative body of the city of Little
Rock, is representative of the entire citizenship,
coiiiposed of mei -nbers of all parties, the riernbers of the
Couz,-cil 'craving been elected at a General election in
which all electors of the city had the right to
participate.
The matter involved in the Resolution may
be ?presented to the Central Comrflittee by aldermen, not
individually or collectively, but in my op'
of such nature as to merit its going into the permanent
records of the City Council.
