Mayor Edwards' foes accused him of having gone over bag & baggage to the Power Trust. The Mayor raised a cry of "Communists!" against his accusers, charged them with being foes of private property. Vainly he tried to get the courts to block the recall ballot. William Randolph Hearst's Post-Intelligencer and the Scripps-Canfield Star vociferously favored the Mayor's recall while the conservative home-owned Seattle Times fumed against "foreign-owned press caterwauling."

Prisoners tense in their cells heard him hammering, hammering, filing metal all day long...

Last year the bag limit was reduced from 25 to 15 ducks per day, and four geese (including brant). The new revision shortens the gunning season in the North and West to ten weeks, in the southern Atlantic States to eight weeks: and further reduces the number of live goose decoys allowed to not more than ten. Cause for the change: serious drought in nesting areas, reported to have reduced this year's hatch of wildfowl...
