Amendment Taxes Charges Against
City First Time, bnt Any Future
Attempts to Oust Officials
Would Cost Its Friends.
Further movements for the recall of
Mayor Albee and Commissioners Brew
ster and Dleck are not likely to be
started because of the fact that the re
callers, whoever they might be, will
have to pay the cost of yesterday's
election before they can get another.
This means that It would cost somebody
besides the city J25.000 to get another
recall election against these officials
during their present terms of office.
In the recall amendment to the state
constitution there is a provision which
reads: "After one such petition and spe
cial election, no further recall petition
shall be filed against the same officer

SUSTAINED IN RECALL ELECTION.-
during the term for which he was elect
ed, unless such further petitioners shall
first pay Into the public treasury which
has paid such special election expenses
the whole amount of 1 expenses for
the preceding special election."
This means that there are to be
no more recall elections against these
officials during the present terms un
less the recallera pay the bill for the
election yesterday. This leaves only
City Commissioners Bigelow and Daly
and City Auditor Barbur subject to re
call at the expense of the city.
Under the recall amendment an elec
tion t3 brought about by petition of
about 8600 voters. The election Is held
within 25 days of the date of filing of
the petitions. Provision Is made in the
recall amendment for the municipality
to pay the campaign expenses of the
officials sought to be recalled. This
provision, however, is not operative
until additional legislation has been
enacted by the State Legislature, ac
cording to a recent decision of the
Btate Supreme Court.
To protect the municipality against
indiscriminate attempts at recall at
public expense the provision for pay
ment of the cost of the second recall by
the recallers has been provided in the
amendment. In brief, the amendment
makes every elective official subject
to one recall attack at public expense.
Others must be at the private expense
of the recallers.
If the recallers had won In this elec
tion the candidates elected would have
been subject to the recall. A movement
could have been started at once and the
election would have to be paid for by
the municipality. s

The citizens are called on to be on
the alert and give the government in
formation and assistance and those
who have been guilty of disobedience
under the defense act are advised that
no action will be taken against them
if they remain quietly at home.
General De Wet is the cavalry lead
er who gave the British so much
trouble in the South African war. It
was announced that he had offered
Jiis services to England.
General Do Wet in the late South
African war was commander in chief
. of the Orange Free State forces. He
was commandant at Ladysmith and
was sent to relieve General Cronje as
second In command; after General
Cronje's surrender he received full
command. He was one of the signa
tories of the Vereeniging peace con
ference and was appointed Minister
of Agriculture in 1907.
General De Wet was opposed to the
government's action in regard to the
present war, and early in October at
tempted to speak at a meeting held in
protest of this action, but was pre
sented irom aoing so by a demonstra
tion of sympathizers of General Louis
Botha, the Premier of the Union of
feouth Africa.
Brigadier-General Beyers was also
a noted figure in the South African
war ana was chairman of the Ver
eenigmg peace conference. Last Sep
tember he resigned as commandant
general of the Union defense force
because of his disapproval of the ac
tion of Great Britain in sending com
mands to conquer German Southwest
Africa.

TROUBLES FEW IX ELECTION
Voting Begins. Early and Rnsb. Be
gins at 4. o'clock.
Voting started unusually heavy in
most parts of the city, according to--reports
received at the City Hall during
the morning. Between 8 and 9 A. M.
it Is estimated that between 5 and 7
per cent of the total vote was cast.
Up to noon it is figured the vote ran
close to 15 per cent. There was a lull
in the early hours of the afternoon
which gave way about 4 o'clock to
heavy voting. Votes continued to come
thick and fast from then until the polls
closed. x
In spite of the haste which had to be
exercised in getting the recall election
plans in shape, the election proceeded
without any serious difficulties. In a
few precincts the polls were not opened
promptly at 8 A. M. because of the fail
ure of one or two members of the elec
tion boards to reach the polling place
on time or because of the tardiness of
an auto truck, used in distributing bal
lot boxes and supplies in reaching the
polling places.
Track Is Delayed.
A truck with ballot boxes and sup
plies for 10 precincts in South Portland
was delayed, because the election offi
cials were late. When the truck
reached the first polling place no one
was on hand to receive the supplies.
It was necessary to wait until the offi
cials arrived. This made it late before
the truck reached the other polling
places.
The delays caused considerable trou
ble as many persons were on hand
waiting to vote. - In some precincts the
voters did not wait, but the majority
of them who went away appeared later
In the day to cast their ballots. Trou
ble also was experienced at the noon
hour, when some of the election booths
were closed while the officials went to
lunch. The same trouble was experi
enced in other elections and was re
peated this time in spite of instruc
tions to the contrary.
In the late afternoon complaint was
made by members or night boards be
cause City Auditor Barbur notified
them that meals would not be provided
them. Mr. Barbur said the ballot was
in such shape that the count should be
finished by 11 o'clock at the latest and
there was no occasion for providing
meals. In the past. Auditor Barbur
said, members of the night boards de
liberately held back the count so tney
would be entitled to a meal at mid
'night. Meal Demand Made.
Some member of the night board in
formed Auditor Barbur that they would
not serve under the "no meals" ar
rangement. Mr. Barbur the, called up
members of the day board by telephone
and asked - them to make the night
count if the night board members re
fused to serve.
The City Hall was kept open yester
day from 8 A. M. until 4 P. M. Usually
on election day the hall is closed. By
closing at 4 o'clock instead of 5, as
usual, city employes had an extra hour
In which to vote. During the rest of
the day the city business went along
on regular schedule.
The recall election yesterday was the
culmination of recall agitation which
has been noted almost from the first
day the present administration took
office. The first attempt was made
early in the year, about six months
after the administration was Inaugu
rated. Petitions were circulated by
Buck Keith and others and it was said
that the petitions, while completed,
were never filed.
A second movement was started in
the Summer by a committee composed
of M. E. Gibson, C. W. Hohlt and A. C.
Allen. After a campaign of several
weeks a sufficient number of names
was obtained on the petitions and they
were filed. It was after this that B. E.
Kennedy, H. E. Abry and W. A. Leet
were announced by the committee as
the choice cf the recallers as candi
dates. Recall Battle Over.
At a later date Eugene E. Smith and
Dr. George Parrish entered the race
against the recall candidates and
against the officials attacked by the
recall.
When the recall petitions were filed
there was pending in the State Su
preme Court a case from Columbia
County Involving the legality of the
recall. To protect themselves the city
officials in Portland held off arrange
ments for the Portland recall until the
court made its decision. An early de
cision was returned and the recall was
held to be valid.
Then the recallers attacked the bal
lot form which had been arranged- by
City Attorney LaRoche and City Au
ditor Barbur. Eugene Smith petitioned
the Supreme Court for mandamus t
require a change in the ballot, elimi
nating the question. "Shall H. R. Albee
be recalled from the office of Mayor?"
The Supreme Court ruled that the vot
ers have a right to vote on this ques
tion and refused the mandamus. This
ended the legal battles over the recall
question and the election arrangements
went along without further hitch.

If all the people buy who have picked out lots on Westover the last

There's a limit to the number of Westover lots which we are, auth
orized to sell for $3000. When this limit is reached, you will
never have the chance to buy at this price and oh these terms again.
Only the owners' necessity, of making a certain
number of sales at once, compels this tremendous
sacrifice. Take your absolute, unrestricted, choice
of any magnificent view lot on Westover sites
with a positive established value of up to $9000,
for $3000. Pay only $300 now balance $30 month
Not only is this the most startlingly-low price ever known on high
class view property, but the terms are equally remarkable.
Both home-makers and speculators are buying Westover now at
$3000. If you know the value of view property elsewhere, you
will realize the full importance of this sale.
There'll still be some of the $6000

precincts the women outnumbered the

deluge of oil smeared up some of the

Apparent incompetence at one of the
precincts yesterday deprived D. Tur
tledove of a vote. Mr. Turtledove,
who was born in the United States,
was not allowed to vote because he
could not, prove his father ever had
taken out naturalization papers. One
of the judges at the precincts said
he was not entitled to vote if his
father had not taken out papers, al
though he himself wa's born in the

Shortly before the polls closed Mr.
Turtledove lodged a complaint. The"
registration offices at the Courthouse
advised he was eligible to vote, as
his birth in the United States was a
basic citizenship right.
Thirty or more voters, men and wom
