Recall and Will Do Much to Secure
lts Adoption Throughout the coun-
try"
San Francisco, Sept. 6.-The action
of President Taft OF the Arizona state
hood bill, eliminating the recall of the
judiciary, was denounced as an at
tempt at the bribery Of the people by
Senator Clapp Of Minnesota at a: ban
quet given by the Direct Legislation

what shall we say Of a policy to
force an electorate to foreswear it's
convictions as the price OF admission
to the Union?" he said. ''It savors Of
the dark ages. 1t is an attempt at the.
bribery Of the people. There are two
cases of bribery now being investigat-
ed by the senate, yet in the face Of
that, there is a attempt to bride a
whole people. The insult to the peo-
pie of Arizona will react on the op-
ponents Of the recall finally and will
do much to further the recall Of the
judiciary throughout the United
States.
"Last Stand Of interests"
"The fight against the recall of. the
judiciary is the last stand Of the spe,
cial Interests"
Senator Clapp ESQ attacked the
Paycc.Aldrich tsrir law, advocated
