sixth street, says: I will vote Tor
George Alexander. Pardon delay in

Noble Keller of ABA Mettler street
writes, "Will do ali l can to defeat

Frank II. Spelman announces in his
reply that Mr. A. C. Harper is his
personal friend, and he thinks that the
recall committee made a mistake by
asking him if he would vote for George
Alexander.
H. l.. Hauck of 434 North Occidental

See you later"
Telling Arguments Made
The Municipal league sent out the
March number of Municipal Affairs
Yesterday loaded with telling argu-
ments for the recall. Under the head
ing "On Which Side?" is given the
following statement:
s"It is no longer question of Wheth-
err or not the recall should be invoked,
nor whether, as some few contend,
there should be any such thing as a
recall in our laws. The charter of the
city, in an amendment adopted by the
voters in a ratio of over four to one,
provides for the recall: and since its
adoption three opportunities have been
given for the people to vote it out If
they saw fit-for charter amendments
have been adopted three times, and
they may originate with the people

institution still stands. And the neces
sary number of signatures having been
obtained, the election is inevitable. II
there is anything wrong either with the
law or the application of the law, that
is a matter for the courts; and the
question of the wisdom of the law is a
mere abstraction.
"Plainly, then, the duty is before each
citizen of deciding whether he will vote
for one of these candidates or the other;
whether he wishes to continue the Har-
per administration, or would prefer
to entrust the business or the moral IN
terests of the city to Mr. Alexander"
An Alexander club was formed last
night in precinct 1913, the meeting be-
ing held at 4255 South Grand avenue.
The hall was crowded and the greatest
enthusiasm prevailed. The following
officers were elected:
President, G.. j. Donnelly: first vice
president, l.. d. Underhill; second vice
president, H. ]. Harris; third vice
president, l.. w. Roberts; secretary, G.
II. Mcdonald of 17S West Forty-third
place.
Arrangements are being perfected
for the holding of a rally next Satur-
day evening at the same address as
that at which tonight's meeting was
held, and it is promised that number
of well known speakers will be on
hand. Both the officers and members
have announced their intention of
pursuing an active campaign.
