Lawyers Puzzle
Looms In Local
Recall Battle

According to Il letter received this
morning by County Clerk Mousseau
frcm Attorney General Webb. the
legal number of voters signatures
necessary to file recall petition
against Judge Conkling, is a puzzle
that will require considerable jud-
icial reasoning.
The attorney general 5 letter states
that the puzzle is caused by the fact
that there were two Judges 10 be
elected at the general election of
1920. The candidates were Judge
Conkling. Judge Cole and the late
Hurrit S. Alien, the two former be-
ing elected. The letter states that
one view of the matter is that all
three men were candidates for each
judgship and it is therefore impos-
siblc to decide what 20 per cent of
the votes east for the office which,
Judge Conkling holds would be.
The district attorney is the legal
adviser for the county clerk, Webb
points out and the attorney general
has no constitutional authority TO
decide the question submitted by the
county clerk IN order 10 find out
just how many signatures are neces-
sary to make recall petition legal.
The opinion expressed by the attor-
ney general are simply his idea on
the matter and are not given with
the intention of deciding the Ques-
ton.
Where there is only one office and
several candidates for that office,
90 per cent of tha votes east would
establish the legal number of sig
natures necessary for recall peti-
tion, the letter states. This does
not hold true in the present case
where two offices were to be filled
and the candidates did not seek
either particular office.
The attorney general s statement
that the county clerk must obtain
his advice from the district attor-
ney, evidently puts it up to District
Attorney Ctlev to interpret the law
relative to establishing the number
Of petitions necessary to file a recall
against Ju6go Conkling,
