DETROIT'S MAYOR
TO CHANGE PLEA
ON RECALL VOTE
Secretary Says Bowles' Defense
Was Given Out on Friday
Unintentionally.
GILLESPIE OPENS FIGHT
Text Asserts Mayor Has Saved
City Thousands, Improved
Law Enforcement.
(By Associated Press)
DETROIT, July 12.-While print-
ing presses today were turning out
thousands of ballots for the recall
election July 22, Mayor B o W 1 e s
changed his mind about the word-
ing or his 200-word defense on the
ballot.
Announcement was made by
Clark Branion, the mayor's secre-
tary, that the text of the Mayor's
official defense is to be revised. It
I was given out prematurely and un-
intentionally Friday, he said.
When informed of this, Oakley
E. Distin, chief supervisor of elec-
tions, merely remarked:
Ballots Being Printed
"The first batch of 5,000 absentee
voters' ballots is being printed
now.
These ballots contain the Mayor's
defense as filed with the City Elec-
tion Commission Friday. The state-
ment asserts that Mayor Bowles
"has saved the taxpayers thousands
of dollars;" Detroit "never had bet-
ter law enforcement;" "the recall
is a fraudulent conspiracy," and
"what the recall will actually de-
cide is whether the people or The
I Detroit News and the Detroit Free
Press shall govern the city."
Branion did not disclose in what
way the Mayor would seek to alter
his statement.
Other developments in the recall
campaign follow:
1. Mayor Bowles spoke over
the radio in defense of the ap-
pointment of Police Commis-
sioner Wilcox.
Address by Cary
2. Walter B. Cary, chairman
- of the recall committee, assail-
ed the Mayor in a radio speech
for claiming credit for the 1930-
1931 tax rate reduction.
3. Mayor Bowles addressed a
gathering of 85 Negroes at 635
Elizabeth street east,and 500
persons at Dom Polski 3426
Junction avenue, members of
the West Side Political Club.
4. "Personal headquarters"
were opened by John Gillespie,
commissioner of public works,
"to combat the recall of Mayor
Bowles and to vindicate my ap-
pointment."
5. Dr. Paul G. Rohr, John W.
Smith's campaign manager a
year ago, was named Mayor
Bowles' campaign manager, and
A. J. Kirkpatrick put in charge
of Bowles headquarters at 622
Barlum Tower.
The introduction to Mayor Bowles'
defense follows:
"The law allows the Mayor a 200-I
word defense against the reasons
for his recall. It is enough to say
that these accusations are mali-
cious and untrue."1
