RECALL BALLOT'S
FQRIV1 IS ATTACKED
Candidate for Mayor, Who Ob
jects, to Bring Mandamus
Suit Today. -
ACTION TO CAUSE TURMOIL
XI E. 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.
