Notice--Recall Election

Whereas duly verified petition, sign
ed by more than twenty five per centum
of the number of electors who voted
for Governor at the last preceding cleo
ton in the Third Ward of the City of
Yale, ST. Clair County, Michigan, as
provided by Act No. 325 of the Public
Acts of 1913, entitled IAN ACT to pro-
vide for the recall of certain elective
officers and for the election to fill the
vacancy created thereby" was filed
with George Mcintyre, Mayor of the
City of Yale on the Goth day of May,
1915, said petition demanding a recall
of George Gardner, Alderman of the
City of Yale from the Third Ward, for
the following reasons
81. Because, in our opinion, the said
George Gardner is incompetent to dis
charge the duties of Alderman of the
City of Yale.
"2. Because he voted for an ordi.
nance, passed by the Common Council
of the City of Yale on May 3rd, 1915,
restricting the territory within the City
of Yale, within which liquor may be
sold, thus placing the Crysler House,
the only Hotel in the. Third Ward out
side of the District within which Ii
cense may be granted, and depriving
the Ward of its only hotel, the main.
tenance of which hotel is necessary to
the best interests of the electors of
said Ward.
"3. Because, as he testified on the
stand in the Circuit Court, the only
reason why said ordinance was passed
was to prevent Silverthorn from Sc
curing q license.
"a. Because he has made no effort
to represent the interests of the resi-
dents of the Third Ward.
20. Because it is demoraliZing to
the best interests of the City of Yale
to have the Common Council thereof
controlled absolutely, by a man engag-
ed in the liquor business"
THEREFORE,, NOTICE is HERE
BY GIVEN to the electors of the Third
Ward of the City of Yale, st. Clair
County, Michigan, that an election will
be held on MONDAY, THE 9TH DAY
OF JUNE, A. d., 1915, in the Council
Chambers, on Jones Street in the City
of Yale, at which election will be sub
mitted to the electors of the Third
Ward, the question of whether or not
the said George Gardner shall be re
called from thel Office of Alderman
of the City of Yale, for the reasons set
forth in said petition. The polls of
said election will be open from 1880
o'clock a. m. to 300 o'clock p. m, of
said day of election.

THE RUSSIAN BLACK
HUNDRED" HARD AT WORK

STOCKHOLM, Dec 23.-The Real
Russian Men," otherwise known as
the BLACK Hundred" are very active
again throughout the empire of the
Gar, and further sitting of liberties
will be the result. Pogroms are also
feared in many sections of the country.
The Petrograd "Retch" in one of its
last issues says:
The Real. Russians are working
Ike beavers everywhere. They are
holding meetings in all large cities
and towns and demand the dissolu-
ton of the Duma, the suppression of
all liberal organizations and a still
more reactionary cabinet"

PLOWSHARE PREPAREDNESS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Shortly
after the Christmas holidays Presi-

delegation of farmers from the
Southwest who will ask for a cam

Ferguson, of Texas, who declared that
if the recent war leans made abroad
were placed at home on rural land,
they would have given every tenant
farmer in the United States capital
that would have put him well on the
road to home-ownership.
