tention of the enemies of 01 sheriff
to hold this affidavit until th9.,last
few days before the election alri
then send it broadcast throughout
the county to' the voters. The play
was cunningly planned and had It
not been for the Information coming
to a representative of The News It
probably would have been pulled off
according to program. The last few
lays of the campaign are always the
more important, and malicious and
unfounded reports sent out about
candidates are bard to refute or
counteract. Had this affidavit been
sent out as planned by the enemies
of Slierlft Qulne, he would have
had no opportunity of denying It or

truth and would have been influenced

Withheld From Public.
The contraction of the c'ty Into
four wards instead of six was done
some time ago. The election under
.the new boundaries waB held two
weeks ago today. Councilman James
Clark of the North Side was a hold
over, councilman and thought that he
was entitled to a sent in the council.
But Clark is not one of the Inner
circle that' controls affairs In Roar

Tolls of

the , city recorde-'0 caU the roU of
members of "e council at each coun
cil mpo"'B and he was advised that
.Cls was no longer a member of
Lrfat body. '. The city recorder, how
ever, did not want to shoulder the
responsibility of taking the uome'off
the roll of council members and so
as a matter of protection to himself
he asked that City Attorney Her
mann render an opinion on the legal
ity of the contemplated scheme to
put Clark out of the council.
Hermann wrote hlB opinion and
placed It on file with the city re
corder. The opinion is a public rec
ord and should be pn file so that any
one desiring to see It may do so. A
representative of The NewB called at
the office of City Recorder Wlmberly
this afternoon and asked if the opin
ion was filed. Wlmberly replied that
it was on file.- When asked permiB-
slon to see the opinion the city re
corder said to The News' representa
tlve that Mr. Hermann had request
ed that the opinion be held back till
after the meeting of the council this
evening and that then It would be
made public.
While The News was deuled the
privilege! of seeing the opinion of
Hermann It was learned that It Is
Hermann's conclusion that Clark's
name can be dropped from the city
council rolls,
