METZ WON'T TAKE BINGHAMs HAND
Controller and Police Commissioner at Odds
Over Hamburger Case.

Relations between the Controller and the Po-
lice Commissioner seem to be strained good
deal. Controller Metz yesterday refused to
shake hands with General Bingham. who was
quoted the other day saying that the Con-
troller was a "conspiring Brooklyn politician"
Before the assembling of the Board OF Estimate
and Apportionment Commissioner Bingham met

.I know very we'll you haven't" retOrted the
Controller.
Then why not be a man and shake hands,?
asked the Police Commissioner.
You be a and stop talking about peo-
ple" said Mr.. Metz, walking on.
The two officials were getting further apart
all the time and made few more remarks. but
they did not shake hands. The Hamburger case
is the cause.

All the indications last night went TO show
that Charles F. Murphy and William J. Con-
ners would carry their opposition 10 the nomina
tion OF Judge Willard Bartlett for the Court OF
Appeals into the meeting Of the Democratic
State Committee at the Victoria at o'clock this
afternoon. The impression that the Murphy and

that their candidate would be Justice Will

lyn. Although it is safe 10 say they have no
word from him that he would consent TO accept
such a nomination they seem 10 think they could
persuade him he could be elected.
Conners would Ike 10 get the nomination Of
D. b. Lucey. of Ogdensburg it is said. but he IS
unable to persuade Murphy that the st Law
renee County lawyer is well known enough 10
make a strong run.
That Edward T. Bartlett, Republican, will be
renomlnated by the Democrats TO succeed him
self on the Court OF Appeals bench seems Al
most certain The fight will be over the nom
ination or rejection OF Judge Willard Bartlett.
Senator Patrick H McCarren is pledged TO the
nomination Of Judge Willard Bartlett and has

their supporters In tho state committee. He is
a fighter and 1t is by means certain that
he will not be able to get some Of the so-called
Murphy and Conners supporters to vote for tho
nomination OF Judge Bartlett. Some Of the
members of the committee who supported the
Corners resolution to adjourn on Monday at
the same time made it clear that they favored
Judge Willard Bartlett. The fight will prob
ably be close one. Lieutenant Governor Chan

The FOURTH OF JULY SHOULD MEAN sELF-RuLE.

One hundred and thirty-one years ago today, the
American Congress declared that Americans were
free from England and would obey the rule of the
English king no longer. large number of people
who live together must have some government.
Without government the strongest people would
get everything good away from the weaker and let
them die make slaves of them. Was it wise say:
-We will not obey King George any more'" King
George proud and foolish tyrant Part of his life
he crazy, but his rule much better than
ALL
What is necessary in order that Americans may
rule themselves better than King George any other
king could rule them? They must choose honest,
efficient statesmen for their public Offices.
statesman is one whose trade it is to help in
the government of nations. An honest
statesman is who will do all he can to make
good laws, and compel all the people rich
and poor, to obey the laws. An efficient
statesman is one who has learned his trade that
he can do his work well.
Political parties are necessary to government of
the people, they useful in many ways but they
also dangerous in ways. political party is
company of people who Join together to get their
candidates into office. When the candidates OF
the Republican party honest, efficient statesmen
then it will be good for the country to have the
Republican party win. If the candidates of the Repub-
hcan party not honest, efficient statesmen, then it
will be dangerous for the country to have that party
win, no matter what it says or does about
the tariff The loyal Republican then, first
do all he can to see that the Republican candidates
for office are all honest, efficient statesmen.

But after you have done all you can to get the right

who gets his money by helping to elect or

question is: How can win in this gameP If
he thinks he make more money by helping

Louisville by Governor Beckham. TO
take the place OF Mayor Barth, whose
election was decided illegal by the

reputation as county attorney for en-
forcement OF law and enemy TO all

sworn in last Saturday he gave orders
to the police that the Sunday closing
law was TO be fully enforced. and the
reports, Monday. are that the saloons
IN Louisville have never before been
closed so tight on Sunday. A few
who failed TO keep the law, were ar
