CANDIDATES Want
SEATS IN COUNCIL
Richmond Citizens File Petitions
for Contest Against Incum-
bents in Recall Election

RICHMOND, July 17.-Lines have
been drawn sharply in the contest
which has been commenced to oust the
majority of the members of the
city council by use of the recall. Six
citizens have filed petitions with the
city clerk as candidates against the
six inc!umbents who have the right un-
der the charter to submit their names
for reelection at the recall election.
The newcomers in the field are w
>. McRacken, Alexander Elsie, J. r.
Faber, Henry l.. Penry, John S. Chand-
Ter and Frederick Schram. The six
councilmen against whom the recall
petition was filed are Councilman and
eN-officio Mayor Joseph B. Willis, John
N. Hartnett, Edward McDuff, Homer
Wyatt, James Owens and J. j. Dooling.
The recall petition is before the city
council and will be taken up for the
second time Monday night. Opponents
of the move to oust Willis and his
five associates who control the city
council maintain that the petition is
irregular in that charges are made
against the six councilmen which le
gally could not be set forth unless pre-
Viously proved at court trial.
Those who favor the recall assert
that the moves made are entirely in
harmony with the city charters provi-
sions. The fight has gone SO far that
outside legal talent has been retained
by each side, and the end is not in
sight. The situation has become in
teresting in view of the fact that the
vote on calling the election rests with
the majority of the councilmen who are
under fire. The contest is the result in
large part of factional political quar-
rels, which eliminated in the recent re-
fusal of the majority of the councilmen
to reappoint City Engineer Hudson on
the expiration of his term.

importance attached by the management
to this offering it needs but be mentioned
that many weeks have been devoted to
its perfectness, both as to the fitness of
the cast and, as well, the faithfulness to
the detail, both of the scenic and costume
equipment
There is not single play in Shakes
peare that affords greater scope for the
display of the varied human passions and
emotions than does 1.-THE Merchant from
Venice, !" while at the same time appeal
ing in the highest degree to every faculty.
Antonio, the we1l-known story runs,
becomes surety to 'Shylock" for a loan
of three thousand ducats to his young
friend "Bassaino" and in spirit of banter
promises tShylock" that the money will
be repaid when due or he will be willing
to forfeit pound of his own flesh. The
willy "Shy1ock" embodies this agreement
in the bond, and when Antonio, wealthy
at the time of signing, fails, by reason Of
all his ships being lost, to repay, 'tShy-
lock" demands his pound of flesh.
While this is the central motive of in
terest, the very apex of dramatic art is
reached in the final scene, when, with
knife sharpened to keen edge, "Shy.
lock" demands and prepares to take his
pound of christian flesh" And it is
here again that 'Portia' proves the
woman wit that saves Antonio
The work Is rapid succession of the
tragic and the comic-the laugh and the
sob the sunshine and shadow. The
entire play is full of subtle and delicate
standings of the human character, and
each player is clothed with charm and
interest that makes "The Merchant from

cessor to Joseph L. Hilton as County Sup
ervisor of Roads. The recent court con.
test instituted by A. W. Lofland to get
Mr.. Hilton out of one of the offices he
holds has not succeeded beyond a state.
ment by the court that anyone may take
steps to have Mr.. Hilton deposed. What
the final outcome may be is not clear.
There is difference of opinion whether
Mr.. Hilton ought to hold both the Office OF
chosen Freebooter as well as the Office OF
Supervisor of Roads, and 1t Is up to him
thus far to decide the matter. We have
no opinion to express on that score, but
we do not hesitate to say that he has been
a good Supervisor of Roads and has al
ways had the good condition of our high
ways uppermost In his mind. 1t has been
said that he has looked after the roads of
Chester township rather more diligently
than he has for those in other sections.
Well, that has been Chester's gain. Pos
sibly supervisor from Northampton or
some other section would have given his
locality preference when he could. That
is human nature, and as fact we think
that Mr.. Hilton has really been of more
benefit to his township in the road busi-
ness than he has been In the Freebooter
chair, not decrying what he has done there.
He has been in the good graces of the
State Road Commissioner and has secured
money for this county that would have
gone elsewhere. The News has not al
ways been an enthusiastic supporter of
Mr.. Hilton, but as Supervisor of Roads
it recognizes his experience and ability to
get things done and the wherewithal to
get them done with.

AN acceptable Christmas present is that
handed out to some of the county officials
because Of the increase of population.
The Sheriff, County Clerk, and Surrogate
will get an advance of $1,000 each. the
Prosecutor of the Pleas will have his
salary increased $500 and Court Crier
Hawkins will also be In line with an ad-
vance of about $500. There will not be
much complaint either on the part of the
recipients or that of the taxpayers at this
increase. All of the officials are certainly
conducting their offices in a manner cred
table to themselves and beneficial to the
county, and they justly earn every penny
that is paid them. The new salary comes
late to Sheriff Worrell and Surrogate Lip
pincott who are about finishing their terms
of office, but the latter is privileged to be
reelected, while the Sheriff, under the
provisions of the constitution, must relin-
guish his Office and remain out of 1t at
least three years. A man who has made
as good record as he has ought to have
a chance to enjoy the special advantages
made possible by the increase of popu-
lation.
