NAMES CAN BE TAKEN

An Opinion , 81 l6y City Attorney
Daley
SITES A COUNTY SEAT CASE
| Notable Decision Was Hande ed
Down BY Former Judge
Buckham.
From Wednesdays Daily.

from wednesdays palfy.
Names of those desiring to have
their names stricken from the recall
petition are coming a little more
slowly into the office of City Clerk
William Bates. E. V. Waters is deter
mined to fight to finish the start he
has already made. He thinks that
those who have already signed can
not have their names stricken off the
list.
When City Attorney C. o. Daley
was seen this morning in regard to
the right of those wishing to have
their names taken off the petition, ne
said: Until the clerk passes upon
the sufficiency of the petition, dt will
not be fled" and then from the
charter he read: "If the petition is
termed sufficient, the city clerk shall
submit the same to the council with
out delay and thereupon the council
shall order the same filed"
Names Can Be Withdrawn.
THE question whether a person
had right to withdraw his name
from the petition" he said came up
in the case of Slingerland VS.. Norton.
This was all action to remove the
county seat from Mantorville to
Dodge Center, in Dodge county in
this state. Judge Buckham held that
the petitioners had such right.
Mitchell Justice in writing upon our
supreme court in part uses this Ian
guage: We have no doubt of the
right of any of the signers to with
draw his name from the petition at
any time before the board of county
commissioners has completed its in
quiry and determination in the mat
ter of purging the petition commit
ted to it by the statute. This right
is an absolte one, and the petition
er may exercise on his own motion,
without assigning any reason there
fore or obtaining leave to do SO from
any one''
He held that the right to with
draw terminates the moment the petit
ton is presented To the auditor, it
would open to the door to all sorts
of sharp practice.
Names Off the List.
The following are the names of
some of those who today have signi-
fled their desire to withdraw their
names from the recall petition:

Nothing to Do With Recall.
Attorney Arthur Schaub in an in
terview today, regarding the mission
of his visit to st. Paul yesterday, said
that the story which appeared in one
of the local papers yesterday TO the
effect that he went to confer with
the attorney general in regard to the
matter of the recall petitions was not
correct. He said he could look UP
the law in regard to this matter
right here in Mankato without see
ing the attorney general in regard to
the legality of the city charter. He
stated that he visited Assistant At
torney General H. A. Edgerton to
finish up the brief in the quo warran-
TO proceedings, and his visit had
nothing to do with the recall.

some time ago. He read the report
of Senator Thomas E. eastman, one

Southern Minnesota cities to attend
the hearing e. Fl. Draper of Mar.
shalltown, Iowa, also attended this
hearing.
Senator eastman stated in his re.
port that the Duluth traffic commits.
sion had Instituted three suits on
lake and rail rates. The object
sought by Duluth is to strengthen
ncT pOSlJlOU DIS the Hedu Ol naV1Sd-
ton of the Great Lakes and to add
to her prestige as a shipping point
The Duluth people thought that the
transportation companies were making
discrimination against them, as the
Minneapolis shippers paid no more
for lake and rail goods than Duluth
did, although the distance was some
what greater
Mr.. eastman stated further thai
the Duluth question would yield good
fruit for Southern Minnesota, but the
matter should be aired in some
Southern Minnesota city.
The report was somewhat detailed
as Mr.. eastman delved into the
rates on poultry and dairy products
which he said were being discriminat
ed against in shipping to eastern
points, as were also the rates or
wheat, fax and other grain products
He considered the rate on live stocl
too high to Chicago and Sioux City
