Enemies After Hamery.


Over 500 names more than the
necessary $500 have been secured
to the petitions asking for the recall
of Councilman John L. Hamery, &C.
cor'!ing to o. K. kirkpatrick, the
man who is at the head of the anti
hamery movement in addition to
this, declared Mr.. kirkpatrick, hun
dreds of citizens are still clamoring
for the opportunity of afixing their
signatures to the documents.
With this announcement comes the
further announcement that the
Scratchers' club proposes to take a
hand In the AFFAIR.
A number of the scratchers held a
conference and wh.le 1t was decided
that there was not sufficient cause
as yet to take any definite action, it
was resolved to call a meeting at the
first intimation that support was
needed. A number Of prominent
scratchers stated that it was their

contents who have felt the force of
Mr.. Hamery's efforts towards a
proper enforcement of the law. 1t is
apparent that 1t is not the result of
any general feeling among the peo-
pie of Des Moines that Mr. Hamery

death before long. However, we have
given the matter some consideration
and IL necessary will give our active
support to Mr.. Hamery. 1t won't be
merely the Scratchers' club either
but we will have the support Of the
people generally"
The officials Of the Des Moines city
railway laughed at the idea that the
company was in any way giving sup.
port to the efforts towards Mr.. Ham

absurd and ridiculous" said one OF
them. "and is receiving no support

In the process the executive coun
