Large Number Of Men Take Their
Names From Petitions.
DID NOT KNOW WHAT SIGNED
Looks as It There May Not Be
Any Recall; Those Stricken
Off the List.
From MONDAYS Daily.

Petitions for the recall of the re-
call continued 10 flow into the office
of City Clerk Bates this morning.
The petitions for the recall of the
city commissioners and the mayor,
secured under the direction Of e.
W. Waters, will be examined today
or tomorrow and the names passed
upon, but these petitions will be
sadly depleted in names, for there
are a number of interested citizens,
who are circulating petitions for
the recall Of the recall, and striking
out their names. This morning a
large number of men came into the
office of the city clerk voluntarily
and requested that their names be
taken of the list. Sis. "
arS Can Amend Petitions. .'
According to City Attorney c. o.
Daley, Mr.. Waters can amend his
petition if he does so within ten
days after it has been rejected, in
case it should be rejected by the
council. This means that he will
be permitted to have additional
names placed on the petition. The
number Of names required to secure
the recall is 1913, or twenty per cent
Of the voters at the last election.
At the rate the names are being
scratched off today there will be but
300 left out of the original 456 Sc
cured. - H,-
Many of those who signed the re.
call petition say they did not know
exactly what they were signing and
the results that would follow should
enough eligible names be secured.
Recall the Recall Petitions.
The following typewriter blanks
we're used in securing the names to
be stricken out: "To F. w. Bates,
