The hearing was ad- ‘vanced in the supreme court because of the election date. Attorneys for Frank, Goughnour, the commissioner sought to he re- called, pointed to the constitutional provision which provides voters “may petition for the recall of any elec congregsional, state, county judicial or legislative officer.” They argue that} ‘ under thjs provision subdivisions less! than cdtinties are not effected. and ‘since commissioners are elected by, districts could not be included. If the recall should be legal, they fur- ther contend, it would require a pe-, tition of 30 percent of the voters. of} the,entire county to obtain‘tlie elec- tion, and not merely 30 pefcent of the voters of the district. { Attorney G.
