I notice that Myrtle B. Brodahl
has announced herself as au in
dependent candidate for City Re
corder, rills lauy was aeieaieu 111
the primaries by about one hun
dred votes aud it does not seem to
be hardly just and fair, after sub
mitting herself to the decision of
the primaries, to now come out aud
announce herself as au independent
candidate iu opposition to the one
who won In the primary ngnt.
In her statement she saya she
will annoint a male Deputy Record
er who will act as Municipal Judge
in all cases where it is not proper
for her to appear. This she has no
power or authority to do. Under
Sec. 75, of the city charter, it ex
plicitly states that she has no
authority nor power to appoint a
Deputy Recorder to act in her
place. The only persou who can
act and determine cases that come
before her court is herself, uuder
