RECOMMENDED REMOVAL
OF DISTRICT ATTORNEY
Z. R. Cheney, a member of the
Democratic territorial committee,
when seen yesterday, admitted that
he had recommended the removal of
District Attorney William Spence of
the third division.
He said he did not know whether
all of the other members of the ter
ritorial committee had taken similar
action; that there was no meeting
of the committee for that purpose,
but supposed that Individual members
might have taken the same action as
himself.
Mr. Cheney said he did not recom
mend the removal of District Attor
ney Spence because of the allega
tions that the latter was not "train
ing with Democrats," but on the
ground of incompetency. — Juneau
