LITTLE LEAGUERS LOSE
APPEALS OVERRULED.
Nearly Al Independent Local Cam

pelleu, wipes practically all or the Hearst nomt-
nees off the ticket with the exception of the
combination judgeship ticket. The other excep-
tions as follows
FRANCIS BURTON HARRISON. Tammany can
didate for Congress in the 10th District.
JAMES ]. FRAWLEY. Tamnany candidate for
Senator in the 20th District.
LEOPOLD PRINCE. Tammany candidate for
Assembly in the 26th District
JAMES " GANLEY. Tammany candidate for
Assembly in the oath District.
JOHN COHALAN Tammany candidate for Sem
ator in the 22d District.
CHARLES E. sHoBER. Independence League
candldate Tor Congress in the 1ith District
w. H BURNS, Tammany candidate for Assembly
in the Ath District
JAMES J. HOEY, Tammany candidate for AS
senbly in. the 18th District.
ROBERT F. WAGNER. Tammany candidate for
Assembly in the 22d District.
PHILIP J. SCHMIDT Tammany candidate for
Assembly in the 3Sd District.
JOHN T TCALL. Tammany candidate for AS
senbly in the 18th District.
All of these candidates are Tammany men,
not independence League men. They used the
well known trick of circulating petitions in the
of the Independence League. and the
Independence Leagues law committee did not
enter any protest against them.
James J. Frawley's case is the most sensa-
tional Mr.. Frawley filed an Independence
League petition with his name on it, and the
league. which was backing James A. Lyon
Il
out. Mr.. Frawley filed another. and the league
knocked that out, too. Then Mr.. Frawley
waited until the Hearst law committee went 10
sleep on the last night for receiving protests.
and at 1888 o'clock at night filed his last peti-
tion in the of the league 1t not
protested. and Frawley is now in and Lyon is
out.
In the other cases where there were pro-
tests the procedure was somewhat similar. The
Hearst law committee did not see fit to protect
the interests Of it's own nominees, the result
being that Tammany got it's indorsed by
the Independence League. while the league was
unable to even nominate it's own friends.
The Independence League candidates. who
were thus shamefully lost In the shuttle because
of the lack of vigilance of the organizations
law committee. know that they were sold
out The sale does not materially injure the
chances of Mr.. Hearst. He is on both tickets.
The outcome of the fight in the courts is re-
garded absolute proof of a corrupt deal be-
tween the Hearst leaders. who wanted to insure
the support of Tammany Hall for Hearst, and
sacrificed the little fellows to do it.
The Independence Leagues nominations were
worthless, because, according to the decision
they were made in punches. with the names of
q Congress. Senate and Assembly candidate all
on the petition
Stdle chairman lnniSen knew the danger or
making the nominations in this fashion. No less
a parsonage than Judge Otto A. RosaIsky called
on State Chairman Ihmsen before the expiration
Of the time for filing nominating petitions and
called his attention TO the fact that his (Ro-
salskys) petition was made unit distinct
from that Of any other nomination. In the light
of the decision by the Appellate Division this
was a saving transaction for Judge Rosalsky.
An interesting decision of the Appellate Di-
vision sustains the right of the executive COM
mittee Of Mr., Hearst's incorporated Independ-
ence League to decide upon the regularity of
any candidates nominated by League petitions
In the case of Franklyn Quinby, nominated for
Congress in the Sth District the court says on
this point:
We are of the opinion that when an independent
body OF the kind and nature that the papers in
the numerous proceedings, which have been before
at this term of the court disclose. engages in
nominating candidates for office and there is es-
tablshed organization, consisting of an ex-
ecutive committee for the whole city, and local
committees for the various smaller political di-
visions; With proper 0ttifers' engaged in com. m
executive officers of such independent body
candidates are the legitimate candidates of such
body. mere intruders endeavoring obtain the
established by others. Certainly. in the absence
of any satisfactory countervang evidence, the
affdaVits of such executive officers are enough 10
justify the Board of Elections in determining that
be put on the ticket to the exclusion OF others
which said officers repudiated.
In view of this decision it may be all the
more difficult for Mr.. Hearst's executive com
mittae to explain the trick by which many
of the local League candidates We're knocked out
in favor of Tammany candidates. 1t would seem
that all Mr.. Ihmsen needed TO do was to give
certificates to the League candidates that they
regular.
The regular judiciary ticket Of the Indepen-
dence League is made one short by the decision,
The ticket is left with only nine nominees for
justices of the Supreme Court. while there
ten offices to be filed. The name of John ].
Brad- is stricken off the Leagues judiciary
ticket because of irregularity in the petition of
his nomination, but the court decides that his
name must be placed in a separate column OH
the official ballot. under an emblem selected in
accordance with law"
NJ G. PaHiser, of the Independence League
executive committee. said last night that, as
result of q decision of the Appellate Division
Yesterday the name of John J. Brady would be
in three columns of the official ballot and that
the ballot probably would be a wonder for size,
Nj Brady said Mr.. Palliser, will be on the
regular Tammary ticket He also will have
column all by himself and under emblem Of
his own by reason Of the fact that he circulated
a petition of his own In addition 10 these two
distinctions he will be on still another ticket
which Taramauy circulated under what pur-
ported 10 be the authority of the Independence
League The ticket was legally put in nominal
ton although the court holds that it cannot go
under the emblem OF the Independence League.
1t looks as if the official ballot would BE-
4 monstrosity for size
The court decides that Mark Goldberg. can
6fdate for Assembly had a proper certificate
OF nomination. but adds:
