MAY AGAIN DEBAR
SOCIALISTS IN N. Y.
Legislative Leaders Wilt Confer
Tonight on Action to
Be Taken
CONSTITUTION IS AMENDED
By the Associated Prats
Albany, N. Y., Sept. 20.Intrat
in the housing nhortago throughout the
state, which the Legislature has been
called to consider in special session to
night, was subordinated at the Capitol
today to a general discussion ot what
action, if any, the Assembly would take
regarding the five erpelled Socialists,
re-elected at special elections last week
to fill their own vacancies. The So
cialists Louis Wnlrlman and August
Clacsens, of New York J Samuel A. De
witt and Samuel Orr, of the Bronx,
and Charles Solomon, or Kings were
found guilty of charges of disloyalty
last April after a trial that occupied
tho attention of the Assembly almost
continuously from the opening of the
1020 session.
Some members of the Assembly who
voted to unseat the Socialists have let
it be known that they have not changed
their views, notwithstanding the re
election of the qulntst. Some of them,
it is snld, are prepared to offer reso
lutions tonight to deny again the So
cialists their seats.
These assemblymen hold that the
Legislature is a continuing body
throughout the legislative year and the
term of the present Assembly, which
expelled the Socialists, does not expire
until January 1. They Insist that' not
withstanding the special elections, these
Socialists are not entitled to take their
seats now any more than they were the
day after they were expelled.
Attorney General Newton said to
day that the seating or unseating of
tho Socialists was a matter entirely for
the Assembly to decide. In reference to
the stand of some assemblymen that
the Socialists are as guilty now as they
wore the day they were expelled, the
attorney general said :
"These men were expelled from the
Assembly because they were members of
a party which, during tho trial, was
found to be disloyal and opposed to our
form of government. Sinco tho trial I
understand the Socialists havo elim
inated or amended the un-American
clauses of their constitution."
Sneaker Sweet said today that there
would be no formal conference rolatlve
to the Socialists preceding tonight's
session of the Legislature. It was his
Intention, he said, to talk with Individ
ual members as they came In during
the day nnd in this way map out a
definite course of action for tonight.
An to his orwn views he declared they
were unchanged that he believed the
question was purely a patriotic one.

Head of Nonpartisan Union La
bor Campaign Analyzes Po
litical Situation
NO DICTATION ATTEMPTED
WMhlncton, Sept. 20. Samuel
(tampers, president of the American
Federation ot Labor and head of the
"nonpartisan" campaign committee of
that organization, yesterday launched
another oroadslde in behalf of the Dem
ocratic party.
Mr. Qompern, In his latest contribu
tion, says "no authority rests with any
one In the labor movement to say to
any one how his vote should be cast."
But Mr. Oompers then indulges in more
than 1000 words of praise of the Demo
cratic party and platform in the guise of
a labor analysis of the political situa
tion. The document Is IntercMIne chiefly
becsusc it purports to set forUi for the
first time what labor has accomplished
in Its "nonpartisan" campaign so far.
That portion reeds:
"Joe Bailey, of Texas, attempted to
Induce the voters of that state to re
turn to normal, nnd the voters decided
to send Mr. Bailey a great deal further
back than that. In the Alabama pri
maries Senator Underwood, nominated
six years ago by a majority ot 44,000,
found his majority reduce to 15,000
by an electorate that, to that extent,
showed its determination not to return
to normal.
"In Colorado Senator Thomas de
clined even to make the effort to Induce
the voters to return to normal by with
drawing from the race for re-election.
In Oklahoma the nomination of Scott
Ferris for United States Senator over
Senator Core was a clear indication ot
the desire of the people of that state
to so on forward and not backward.
"In Pennsylvania Representative
Dewalt withdrew as a candidate for re
nomination, because of the expressed
determination of the workers of his dis
trict to go forward. Representative
Willis J. Hullngs, of Pennsylvania,
carried bis campaicu for 'normalcy' to
the voters In tho primary election, where
he was emphatically repudiated. Rep
resentative Henry J. Steele, In an
other district In the same state, fol
lowed tho course adopted by Mr. De
walt and withdrew rather than mnke
what he knew would be a futile effort
In behalf of reaction.
"In Tennessee Representative Sam
R. Sells was opposed by the forward
looking forces of labor, and again the
expression of the people was against
going backward and in favor ot going
forward."

GOV. COX VISITS
Democratic Candidate Now on
Speaking Tour of Southern
California Cities
FORCED TO SAVE VOICE
Los Anfol, Calif., Bept. 20. Gov
ernor Cot, of Ohio, Democratic: nresi
dential. candidate, passed through hire
last night on his way to open his
southern California campaign todsy ot
Ban Ditto.
Leaving Oakland, where he spoke at
night, the governor spent Sunday
traveling along ths coast route. He
passed tho day quietly, obtaining needed
rest from his rapid firs visit In the bay
cities. He also discussed ths local cam
paign with Representative JCetntr, of
San Dleto, and Iiadore Dockweller,
Democratic national committeeman for
California, who Joined the governor',
train at San Jose to participate In the
southern stats effort.
Oovernor Cos will speak at noon in
a San Diego theatre. Plans for an open
air address, where President Wilson
spoks about a year ago, were chanted
becansa of the condition of the govern
or's throat, which was Improved by. bin
rest, but by the indoor meeting It wns
desired to save his voice as much as
poslble. The governor was doe at Ban
Diego early today for a sight-seeing
tour and reception before his noon ad
dress. Leaving Ban Diego at 8 p. m., Oov
ernor Oox will riturn to Los Angsles
for an evening address. Tomorrow he
will speak at Xong Beach and address
Los Angeles vlub women and the Cali
fornia Editors' Association in Los An
geles, sipsking later at Ban Bernardino
on bis way East through Arliona, New
Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming and the
Missouri Valley states.
The threo addresses delivered on both
sides of Ban Francisco bay Saturday
were ths least imoortant part of Gov
ernor Cos's campaigning.
His resl work was an effort to instill
some semblance ot lacs Into the rather
pathctlo shell of a Democratic organi
sation in California. He: found tho task
not an easy one.
As the situation stands at present
there is very little basis for the Demo
cratic hope that the stats will go In
1020 as It went in 1010. It is Repub
lican by a wide margin.
"MISSING S0LDIER ALIVE
Mother Qsts Joyful Tidings Prom
8on 8he Thought Dead In France
. Bellefonte, Pa., Bept. 20. During
dead hr son, Richard W. Hvey, who
was believed to bo among the missing

sey City, where he has a wife and
child.
Richard left home tn 1015. Earlv
In 1017 he enlisted and was sent to

ed on the eve of sailing and another
one after he landed m France, and
those were the only communications
she ever received.
When the armistice was declared and
other Bellefonte soldiers returned home
she naturally looked for her son, but
he was not among them. Mrs. Evey
communicated with the War Depart
ment, but tho officials there were un
able to give her definite information.
She concluded that her boy was one of
the unidentified dead.
In the meantime his father, who
had been an invalid for many years,
died, and the son was Ignorant of that
fact, as ho had received no news from
home. He said since arriving in this
country that he had written homo fre
qucntly while In France, but had never

BRYAN PITGHK INT0 1
WILSON AND COX
- - T II I 1
Democratlo Flock Is Without
Shepherd, Peerless Leader
Says In Kdltorlal
SEES NO ECONOMIC ISSUE
Ii!Mon, Neb., Bent. i0, Wiltin
Jennings Bryan again is etnphasltlB,
th fact that, In ths present csmpilp,
he Is a good deal of a free lance. In
the current issue of his Commoner Mr
Bryan, while declaring his contlrmti
allegiance to ths Democratic party, ),(,
It be known that he refuses to be bound
by party ties under existing clrcum
stances. Mr. Bryan maintain th
masses of ths Democratic party art pro.
irresslve, whenever a line can be drawn
betwwn ths two elements! but rlthi
how they have no titular leader whom
they can follow.
Taking a rap at President WiliB
and, infcrenttally, at Governor Cox, hi
says:
"The administration presented no
economic Issue upon which a division
eou'd be made. Those who spoke for tot
President made the indorsement of th
treaty without reservations the dom.
nant In fact the only test. Nothing
could be done or said that could In any
way be construed as a reflection upon
the Administration, or as a suggestion
of improvement.
"A declaration against universal
compulsory military training wti
brushed asldo by one of his spokesmen
with tho remark that,' because Secr.
tary Baker had recommended )t, a decla
ration against it might be construed it
a criticism of tho President.
"We could not promise to protect
the country from a $700,000,000 a yeir
menace, because a cabinet officer had
followed tho Instructions ot the military
advisers, instead ot taking counsel ot
the people. We could not make any
adequate declaration against profiteer
ing, because it might sccin to proml
remedies that the administration had
not employed.
"Nothing could be done to encouraxi
the progressive Democrats or to supply
them with weapons to use agalnit the
reactionaries. Nearly a third of the dele
gates at the Democratic conventloa
seemed to be interested in nothing but
the liquor question.
"At San Frnnelsco tho delegates
who were willing ' trudc the constitu
tion and the Ten t mmtndmcnts tor a
glass ot .beer were Just as willing to
let Wall street have its vcy on n.ny anil
every subject."
But Mr. Bryan does not despair. Ad
mitting that for the time being the
progressive are paralyzed, U bids them
take courage for the future and enter
into the fight with vigor for the election
of a Congress, be it Democratic or lie
publican, which will carrr out tbi
wishes of the people.
