judiciary League for supreme judges.
Howell will certify the nomina tons
of the league, as well as of the repub

counties.
The view taken at the state house Is
that the law is explicit that no name

ty auditors to ascertain from the can
didates of the Non-partisan League
and the democratic party which title
they prefer.

lures to the petitions asking for the
recall OF Mayor H. Gill started Satur
day with rush, a large number o.
names having been secured on the lists
when the work started for the day.
Acting on the advice OF leading at
torneys, the Public Welfare League,
which is managing the recall cam.
paign, abandoned the plan to place
petitions in all the churches Sunday.
1t was feared that the signing O.
names on Sunday might invalidate the
signatures, and thus put in jeopardy
the success of the recall movement.
The leaders of the campaign are TAX
ing precautions to prevent a misstep
that would cause the petitions TO be
thrown out on technically.
The petition for the recall of Mayor
Gill is similar in language to the one
circulated in Los Angeles for the re
call of Mayor Harper. The general
statement of grounds for the removal
of Mayor Gill contain several charges.
They are that he is personally unfit;
that he made improper appointments,
that he fails to enforce criminal laws;
that he gives refuge to criminals, and
that his continuance in office is a
menace to the city.
