Woman Wins in
Recall Election
County Superintendent Is Sustained
Following Long Fight over Re
vocation Of Certificate.
[uNIrrD PREsA lrAsrD WIRE. !

Hanford, Cal, Sept. 27.-Friends of
Mrs. Fannie E. Davidson, county super
intendent of schools, were jubilant to-
day at her victory yesterday in the first
recall election ever held on the coast
against woman office holder. Her op-
ponents maintained that it was simply
because many voters did not like to
cast their ballots against a woman, or
objected TO the principle Of the recall
that she won.
The campaign, eliminating in ma
iority Of $50 for Mrs. Davidson, out Of
a total of $500, followed a three.
years fight with Principal T. J. Rose
man, of the Hanford high school, which
ended recently in the filing charges Of
unprofessionahsm and immortality
against Roesman and the revocation of
his certificate by the county board of
education.
His friends retaliated with an at
tempt to have the supervisors oust the
board, and when this failed, the recall
was instituted against the superintend-
ent. Mrs. Davidson has a year yet to
serve.

were abused by telephone and their
lives threatened, unless they ceased
their efforts to put an end to the op-

threatened was given police protection.

Several Items Passed Upon and One

The emergency board, created by the

making the creation Of any deficiency
by any state officer a penal offense,
without the sanction of this body, met
for the first time this morning at IL
O'Clock primarily to pass upon the mat
ter of creating deficiency not to ex-
ceed $4,000, in the matter Of the en-
fOrcement of laws by the governor, it
being practically for the carrying on of
the prosecution of bOotlegers, and vio.
lations Of the liquor laws.
Some other matters came up, how
ever, and these were taken up first as
sort of preliminary to the principal
matter over which there is wide diff
ference of opinion. The last legislature
authorized the governor to investigate
the Portland gas franchise, but failed
to provide any funds for doing the
work, On motion of Malarkey a def
cheney of $500 was authorized. There
was considerable squabbling over this.
Mr.. Kay took the. ground that def
cheney could not exist where there had
been no original appropriation. The
governor thought there was deficien-
ey when fellow or fund was out of
money, that when he was broke he real
lied he had deficiency to face. The
matter was authorized by vote of
