A vital question in the recall pro-

tempt being made to recall Commits
sioner Of Police ]. H. Dahl. was set
tied by an opinion of City Atty. w. H.
Shure, in which he gives it as his
opinion that when recall election is
held at the same time as regular
city election or in connection with a
general election, the recall candidates
must be separated and desiNnated
from the regular candidates.
This was an undecided question I'M
til today, the commissioner and re-
call measures being rather indistinct
in meaning in places. Some held, that
in the case Of Mr.. Dahl, his name
would have to 20 to the city election
ballot, making him run against the
