There seems to be a diversity of opin ion as to the duties of the city recorder in regain to his duties in the matter I of calling for elections ami the matter of placing nanus on fhe tickel to be voted for. In defense and proof that I took the right . action in following the iu.itruc- I' t the city council in culling the list election, I will ipiole the record er s duties in connection therewith, which is ns follows: "Chapter VI. section S3 N'ot less Hi. in fiflein days prinr to the second Tuesday in January of each year, the CITY COUNCIL shall order an annual election of CITY Ol'I'ICiatS ami ap point for each ward three .judges of election, two of which shall act as t l rks of election, of uliieh election no ti e shall be grt en by ' ptildicat ion in a newspaf.er published ill the city, or by notice signed by the city recortb'r ami posted 'by the chief of police- at the place for holding tl lection in 'a. h wan! of the city, not less than ten days prior to the election, which notice xhall specify tl t'ficers to I lectctl, and time uml place of h. titling said elt c tioli in each ward.

Itrynu was tlie guest of honor, and oiuer iiemocratic leaders of more or less priiininence in national or stale politics hail places at the speakers' table. '"The .Moral Klement in Pending Is sues" was the subject of Mr. Ilryan's address, which in part was as follows: "No question is over settled until the moral element in the question is discussed niul decided. Nothing but a moral issue that is, an issue involv ing justice, stirs the heart. The time is ripe for another appeal to eon- science, nnd the iiulieat ions point to n greater study of public questions fi an ethical standpoint. The corrupting! influences which have flowed fro or i ary polilics have at last excited al lontion ami there is a searching of men I of measures such as has not been known in recent times. "The president's popularity is large l.v, if not, entirclv tine to II. o l.li,.t' 'l if,' Hie masses thai he .wants to do what is right, and that he is trying to secure justice to those who have been unjustly dealt with.

This is onlv uu indication of Hie public altitude. Another indication is to be found in the i II line of the vot ers. "Not since the war have' party lines hung so loosely, nnd litis is Hie ualural result when the voters become earnest in their desire that, wrong shall be overthrown ami right vindicated.
