In strong terms that leave no
doubt regarding the attitude of
those who are opposed to the pro-
posed recall of Judge NJ W. Conk
ling, and District Attorney f. r.
Utley, the Anti-Recall League of
Imperial County last night passed
a resolution calling upon the citi-
zens of Imperial county, regardless
of their views on other matters, to
express their condemnation of the
recall proceedings by voting against
them at the polls.
'The Anti-RecaI League in
tends to appeal to the citizens of
the county to uphold the officials
who are endeavOring, to the best
of their ability, to carry out the
duties of the office to which they
were elected, and not be misled by
issues which have been forced into
the fight against them, mem
ber of the league said today.
Following is the text of the rcso-
luton which was passed last
night.
Whereas, directors of the I'M
