ROOSTER MUST MOVE.
Supreme Court Suxtains Injunction
Against state Democracy.

tNtN tOih
The rooster. the emblem Of the New
York State Democracy, must come down
from its perch at the head Of the third
column on the official ballot, and percn
at the head OF a less conspicuous column
ON the right hand OF the official ballot.
This conclusion was reached by the Gene
raj Term OF the Supreme Court, Presid-
ing-Justice Van Rrunt and Judges bar
rett and O'Brien sustaining the action OF
Judge Beach in restraining the Board Oh
Police Commissioners from printing or
distributing ballots containing the names
of the Democratic candidates Tor state
offices under the emblem OF the New YORK
State Democracy. and from printlng the
State Democracy ticket In the thirn col
umn on the official ballot.
Corporatlon- Counsel Scott appeared for
the police Commissioners. Wallace Mac
farlane and George Walton Green for the
state Democracy, while Nathan Fern
hacker. in whose name the proceedings
wera taken. was represented by David
Levintritt, Asa Bird Gardiner and Henry
ID. Hotchkiss.
The arguments were substantially the
same az those presented TO Judge Beach
last week.
presidlng-Justlce Van Brunt said the
law required mat certlncdte or noihind-
ton should be Med with the Secretary Of
State. together with the emblem OF the
marty making the nominations.
The requirements OF the statute had not
been followed In this case, Judge Van
Brunt declared. as no nomination had
been made by the. State Democracy I'm an
independent manner. while all other or
CARNATIONS had followed the law.
The Judge stated that the Police Com
missIoners had entirely ignored the GER
tlacate OF the Secretary OF State AK 10 the
makeup OF the ticket and adopted their
own instead. without any authority in
law for so doing
Judge Barrett held that the Police Com
missioners had erred in placing the addi-
tIona, emblem on the ballot with the
state candidates. and had also erred In
placing the state Democracy ticket
where IL was on the ticket
Corporation Counsel Scott stated that
he would not take the case to the Court
OF Appeals. The candidates Of the State
Democracy will have separate column
on the ballot under the rooster emblem,
but without the State ticket
