person as candidate for Office, and shall
be guilty of a misdemeanor, and, on
conviction, shall pay fine not exceeding
three hundred dollars and be imprisoned
for term of time not exceeding three
months" And if neither of these nets
is fine enough or strong enough to land
the rascals, this third section certainly is:

HE New York courts are busily en-
gagged trying to find out how Old Judge
Spier is. The proverbial sensitiveness of
unmarried women to the disclosure of their
