VIII Be Given In Specific
Detail
What was the question Thomas Lee
Woolwine asked Ed Kern which
brought about the immediate dismissal
of Woolwine by District Attorney Fred
ericks?
This IL supposed to be one OF the
turning points in the campaign against
vice protection, and to throw consid-
cradle light on the course OF subse-
uuent events, but heretofore 1t has not
been revealed by any one who knows
it. Tonight, however, at the big recall
meeting at Simpson auditorium Mr..
Woolwine will tell what the question
was, and why 1t agitated the district
attorney. He has promised the CAM
paign committee to do this, and also
to make a number of other startling
statements which have an illuminating
bearing on the initial impetus toward
the present campaign for the election
Of George Alexander.
Certain machine methods In the coun-
ty administration of justice, and their
connection with city affairs through
what Mr.. Woolwine terms the neces-
sity for a perfectly working machine"
will be taken up with a detail that
Woolwine said yesterday that he
would tell number of things that
have not been public knowledge here
tofore, but will be of considerable in
terest In the light of recent recall his
tory. He was at work yesterday on
his address, which. he said, might be
counted on as "a sizzler."
as touching the "bombshells' which
the recall opposition and the pro-vice
newspaper have been endeavoring to
fire off, but which have so far burst
before they could throw them. Some
of these will be held up to view, par
ticularly one which the pro-vice adher-
ents hope to sling before election day.
The phases of the injunctions asked
in the hope of preventing the election
will be discussed by able lawyers, in
Guiding Judge John d. Works, Mai.
Henry T. Lee and Judge A. M. Ste
phens.
Alexander VIII Speak
Judge Works will preside at the
meeting, and George Alexander will
be one of the speakers. Although the
meeting has not been extensively adj
vertised the campaign committee ex-
pets large audience, as the interest in
the campaign is growing constantly,
and tonight's meeting Will bring out an
exposition of the most important phases
of the campaign.
George Alexander and Mr.. Woolwine
will speak tonight also at meeting in
the 106th precinct at Borelli hall. cor
ner of Sixty-first street and Moneta
avenue. Frank S. Forbes and Marshall
Stimson will address the meeting at
that hall.
Meetings are planned for tomorrow
night at Odd Fellows hall on West
Jefferson street; at Conaty hall, Daily
street and Downey avenue, and at the
Hokom block, 1916 Moneta avenue. The
campaign shows all the warmth that
the committees in charge could ask,
and a most gratifying interest which
bellies the fear that the "stay-at-home"
vote win be in evidence.
More than 300 workers met at SYM
phony hall last night, to discuss with
the campaign committee the final de-
tails for election day. 1t was charac-
teristic of the recall movement that the
meeting, while taking up the commit
tee work directly, was entirely open
and no attempt was made to keep out
any opponent of the movement who
might wish to learn Of the election day
plans.
Meyer Lissner, who presided as chair
man of the organization committee;
George Alexander, S. c. Graham, chair
man of the general campaign commit
tee, and others spoke on features or
the campaign work. Many precinct
workers made suggestions and asked
questions. and the procedure for cleo
ton day and the necessary work to be
done before that time were fully
worked out.
Another BombsheIl Secuted
Among other "bombshells" to be
touched off by the pro-vice forces be-
fore election day was the use OF pastors
intended to complicate the ballots. Tbs
is not regarded by the legal committee
of the recall campaign as likely to have
any bad effect, as all ballots bearing
pastors will be thrown out on the
count. Marshall Stimson, who has
looked up the question. said yesterday:
1.-THE section of the city charter
which provides for the holding or the
recall election declares that the cleo
ton shall be held in accordance with
the general election laws.
"Section 1906 of the political code sets
forth a voter shall prepare his ballot,
and concerning voting for persons
where names are not on the ticket,
says:
If they are not printed on the ballot.
in the blank column. under the title OF
the office
"The courts or this STATE nave IN
several instances declared that the pro-
visions of section 1905 Of the political
code are mandatory. and the language
here being plain. it would seem clear
that nothing else would fulfill the re-
quirements of the code.
Moreover, the primary election law
especially provides for the use of past
ers in the ballot, section 1866 OF the
political code providing that the voter
may write the names Of his choice
with pen or pencil, or he may attach
in the proper place on the ballot, with
any adhesive substance, a slip Of white
paper containing the names or his
hoice.'
"This clearly shows the intent Of
the legislature to recognize a djstinc-
tion between writing and using past
ers.
"Whfle the point has not been actu-
ally raised in this jurisdiction. it mas
been decided in several other states.
notably New York, that under a
statute providing that voters may write
names in the blank column, pastors
could not be used unless their use was
specially provided for by statute.
1T can see no reason why the courts
of our state would not follow the same
view."
