Smith Declares Direct Question on Vote Blank Is Illegal -Cltj Auditor Barbur Refuses to Halt Printing. Objecting to the direct question be ing asked on the ballot prepared for the Albee-Dieck-Brewster recall elec tion, "Shall H. R. Albee be recalled from the position of Mayor?", Eugene E. Smith, one of the two recall candi dates for the positon of Mayor, will start proceedings in the State Supreme Court today asking for a mandamus to require City Auditor Barbur to change the form of the ballot to eliminate this question and have the voters vote only for candidates under the preferential system the same as at any city election. The fact that the election is sched uled for a week from today and that ballots are now being printed means that the new step taken by the re callers will throw the whole recall into turmoil until the last minute. Printing; Goes Forward. The petition which will be filed by TV. M. Davis, an attorney representing Mr. Smith, will ask that the Supreme Court hear arguments In the case Thursday. Thursday is Just five days before the recall electioti and the Su preme Court may require a day or more to consider the caso. City Auditor Barbur was asked yes terday to hold off the printing of the ballots until the Supreme Court de cided the point at issue. This he re fused to do, saying the recall arrange ments have to be made in time, as the election date scheduled is the last day allowed for the election under the pro visions of the recall amendment to the state constitution. Mr. Smith and others of the recallers eay that the recall amendment to the state constitution provides that when an election is called by the filing of re call petitions, the officials attacked au tomatically become candidates against the men named to run against them. They declare there is nothing In the jaw to provide lor the ballot form as prepared. City Attorney Defends Ballot. "City Attorney LaRoche says there is no question but what the ballot form Is right. All the people, he savs. are to decide whether a candidate shall be recalled and not merely the persons wno sign tneir names to recall pe titions. The recallers, it is reported, looked to the preferential voting sys tem for the bulk of their strength. Under this system every voter would be permitted to vote for two candi dates for the position of Mayor and lor the position of Commissioner of Public works against Commissioner Dieck. It is the opinion of some that the system would be difficult Tor the average voter to understand, and for that reason the recall would be strengthened. -Dr. Georso Parrish, recall candidate against Commissioner Dieck, an nounced his platform yesterday. It reads: If 1 am elected I will, during my term of office, advocate civil service, fewer laws nd strict enforcement, - lower taxes, the same economic handling of public money as I would give mine. The office will always be open to the public at all times, regard less of politics, religion or station in life. I wilt oppose the issue of any more public bonds at this time.
