Official Asserted His Conviction

Cause To Unseat Him

SAN FRANCISCO, December 10
Associated Press -CharIes NJ. FiGkert,
district attorney Of Sun. Francisco
County, came out victorious yesterday
in the election held under a petition
for his recall He won by a big major
ity, showing under his opponents,
Charles a. Sweigert and Frank p.
Hayes. ...t.. :t.t#
The attempt to recall Fickert had as
sumed uatioPRl interest, partly ON &c.
count Of the nature Of the defense
made Of him by his friends, but more
largely because of the fact that For.
mer President Roosevelt came to his
aid and in an open letter denounced
those who were attempting to recall
him.
Specific Charges g.
The specific charges against Fickert.
as contained in the recall petitions
we're that ''he has failed TO appreciate
the duties and responsibilities of his
Office, and has been guilty of violating
the standard of conduct demanded Of
him by the Supreme Court of Califor.
mia and that che is not conducting
the Office of district attorney in the in.
terest of justice and TO the satisfac.
ton of the people of San Francisco. ="
District Attorney Fickert has recent.
ly attained national prominence as the
prosecutor of the alleged bomb plot
murderers. OF thost accused Of causing
the death of ten persons on July %,
1916, during preparedness parade,
Fiekert has secured the conviction Of
two, including Thomas Mooney, who is
now under sentence of death. s..
Mooney was an /. w. w. and known
throughout California as a labor agita.
tor. He had previously been charged
with dynamiting. o.. VI.
Said Mooney "Raiiroaded" e..
!. Moneys friends charged that he
was rSilroaded !" by Fickert. The
labor unions of san Francisco aided
the. bomb plot defensd financially. II
was after the conviction of Mooney
that petitions for the recall of the
district attorney were circulated.
Fickert hOtly denied that he was
'aetuated by any other motives than
those of justice in prosecuting Mooney
and his alleged confederates. The con,
test that ensued quickly passed beyond
local bounds Newspapers throughout
the country, and magazines as well,
took the matter up and the controversy
became national in its extent. L..
Several persons were indicted by the
grand jury in connection with the sign,
ing of the recall petitions. They were
later released.
Roosevelt Letter ~
For several years. almost ever since
he assumed Office. Fickert has been un,
der fire, but until~the circulation Of
the recall petitions no definite. charges
were published against him. When.
ever he has run for office he has won
by handsome majorities.
The injection of the Roosevelt let.
ter into the recall campaign added fire
to it and served to call the attention
of the whole countryt to the controversy,
Roosevelt warmly championed Flick
ert's cause and charged that pro'Ger-
manism was back. of the attempt to
have him removed from office.
Fickert is n graduate of Berkeley
and was famous football man while
in the university. j..

DRAFTED MEN
FOR SIGNAL CORPS
The University Of Kentucky Will
Likely Train Quota -Thous.
ands Of TeIegraphers, Etc.,
Needed.

The University Ct Kentucky has been
requested by the War Department to
consider the matter of training a quota
of the enrolled draft of the State ter
service in the Signal Corps of the
National Army and the interest of the
citizens subject to the next call is es-
pecially invited to this proposed course.
The Signal Corps requires the serv
ices of thousands Of trained men. 1t is
important that they be capable tele-
graphers Men who attain proficiency
as photographers and otherwise qualify
for service in this branch of the army
are certain Of rapil promotion as the
number Of officers and noncommissioned
officers is large in proportion to the
total. High-ciass men are desired be-
cause the work is confden tal and
largely dependent upon individual ef-
fort. This service is responsible for the
transmission Of information and is a
most important factor in successful
movements in the field.
The intention of the course is to train
citizens of the State who are enrolled
for the draft for higher positions than
they will attain without such efforts,
and also to furnish its fair share of the
large number required in this branch of
the service. Upon rec.iving a certifi
cate OF proficiency he is entitled when
duly called to enrolment in the Sign
Corps and TO assignment to that bra nch
of the service. The work affords good
training and experience that will be of
value after return to civil life
