ATTORNEY GENERAL OPINION
WHAT NUMBER OF SIGNATURES
ARE REQUIRED FOR RECALL
OF ALDERMEN?

At the last meeting OF the city
council a petition for the recall of
Alderman Hans Ambly of the 3rd
ward was presented. This petit on
which was issued in accordance with
section 94j-1 of the 1911 statutes
contained in all SO names, nearly half
of the vote cast for all candidates for
governor at the last general election
in the ward. The certificate of
the clerk which was presented to the
council declared that the petition
contained an insufficient number of
names. The clerk statement was
based upon an opinion, which he says
was given him by the city attorney.
We herewith give that section of
the law which reads as follows:
ANY city officer holding an elective
office, whether by election or appoint
ment may be removed at any time
after he has actually held office for
six months. The procedure to effect
such removal shall be as follows: A
petition shall be filed with the city
clerk demanding the election of a
successor to thc4person sought to be
removed. Such petition shall con-
tain a general statement of the
grounds upon which the removal is
sought and shall be signed by electors
entitled to vote for successor to the
incumbent equal in number to at least
one-third of the entire vote cast in
such city for all candidates for
governor at the last preceding gener-
al election. Signatures to such
petition may be upon different pieces
OF paper bearing the same or sub
stantially similar headings.
The question in which the people
of this city are particularly interested
is whether an alderman may be re-
moved under this section, the doubt
with reference thereto arising from
the language underscored in the
section.
The construction of the statute
as given by the Attorney General, ir
an unofficial way, in response to &
letter, is as follows:

Uric acid in meat excites the kid

bladder is irritated, and you may be
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night When the
kidneys clog you must help them flush
off the body's urinous waste or you'll
be real sick person shortly At first
you feel a dull misery in the kidney
region, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizziness, stomach gets

also get from any pharmacist four
ounces of Jad Salts; take table,

breakfast for few days, and your
kidneys Will then act fine. This IA

Lincoln Post, G. A. R., to
Hold "Bivouacs,, in the
Afternoon Instead of Night

Although once they camped in the
open during the hardest campaigns
of history, the members of the Grand
Army of the Republic are finding It
more and more difficult to face the
winter winds and storms at night
in order to attend their weekly
"bivouacs" In their own snug post
rooms.
Lincoln Post No. II, the largest
post in the State, has solved the diff
ficulty by changing the time of Its
meeting from Monday nights. on
which the members have gathered
together for half a century, to Sat-
urday afternoons.
The bylaws Of the post had to be
amended to provide for the new ar
rangement.
A few of the veterans opposed the
change for sentimental reasons.
Their Monday evenings had become
so associated in their minds with the
activities of the post and so fraught
with pleasant memories that they did
not wish any breaking away from
the old precedents.
The opinion of the majority, how
ever, was that the increasing feeble
ness of so many of the veterans made
1t wiser for them to hold their re-
unions in the afternoons.
Next Saturday, for the first time.
the posts campfire will be lit by day.

.BEEKEN ANSWERS
BUGBEE'S ATTACK
Again Declares Vast Sum OF
Money Was Spent in Stokes
Campaign.

Axel V. Beeken, the Colby cam
paign manager who was elected to
the Ananias Club by republican State
Chairman Bugbee. made the retort
courteous today in letter, reiterat-
ing his charges that a very large
amount of money must have been ex-
pended in behalf of former Governor
Stokes during the prediction fight.
The letter follows:
II have read your somewhat be-
lated burst of virtuous indignation.
/ use the word 'belated' advisedly, for.
as you must have known, during the
campaign the air was full of charges
about the use of money by the Re-
publicans. These charges did not
originate with me; they were the COM
mon talk wherever men met. So much
so, In fact, that both Governor Field
er and Everett Colby publicly called
attention to them In their speeches.
Colby also challenged Stokes to pub
lish his campaign expenses before the
election.
"Then, If ever, was the time to set
the public mind at rest on the sub
ject, and the burden of doing this was
upon MIR. Stokes. The only practical
way to kill the rumors was to pub
lish the expenditures, and this Mr..
Stokes refused to do. and he should
not be heard now to complain that he
has been misrepresented, II he has
been. I may say, however, that your

Now these rumors were not based
on thin air. There certainly was
enough tangible evidence that plenty
of money was being used. Mr.. Stokes
was advertised like patent medi-
cine from one end of the State to the
other-in newspapers, on bill posters,
on sign boards, in street cars, along
the railroad tracks, etc. This, aside
from the so-called fake letter sent

the way, you seem 10 nave choice
