ORGANIZE LEAGUEFOR
PURITY OF ELECTIONS
ANOTHER MEETING WILL BE
HELD MONDAY
Francis j. Heney, Marshall Stlmson
and T. {. Gibbon Deliver Ad-
dresses-WiIl Exercise Vigi-
lance at Primaries

Brain and Drawn of the educational
institutions of the city met with the
determined men of all parties at ban
chard hall Yesterday morning TO form
an organization to be known as the
Purity of Elections league.
The attendance was large and the
spirit of the organization expressed IN
the applause of Francis J. Heney'
Marshall Stimson and T. e. Gibbon'
who spoke.
Organization was formed by electing
F. w. Fellows president and ID, D
Hammack secretary. Tne orsanlza-
ton expressed as its purpose per-
manency and immediate action by eX-
ercising vigilance at the primary cleo
ton Tuesday in protecting a fair pal
lot and a true count. In his address
Mr.. Heney said:
History shows also that the ngnt
for equal opportunity, which is merely
another term for liberty. has been led
the world over by the student BODY.
That has been the case in Russia, In
Germany, in England and In the
United States. The student bodies
therefore should make up their minds
that a large share of the responsibility
of government rests upon their Shoul-
ders and let them fight for 1t. In our
day we do not need swords with which
to make this fight, but can carry on
the struggle even more efectlVeiy py
means of the ballot box. And urge
YOU to remember that you must fight
every minute of the time If you expect
to accomplish substantial results"
Mr.. Gibbon explained the non-parti-
san character of the league and Its
usefulness in protecting elections from
fraud and intimidation. He empha-
sized the fact that the duty of citizen
begins in the primary and does not
end until the polls have ended on cleo
ton day. Those who participate IN
the work of the new organization next
Tuesday will be giving valuable as
sistance in striking off the shackles of
political machines. Through the pri-
mary the voter may control the char
acter of conventions and bring about
the nomination of faithful men.
Mr.. Stimson gave a practical talk
on the means that the league would
employ through its representatives at
the polls in preventing Illegal voting,
fraud and intimidation.
Another meeting will be held at
Blanchard hall Monday afternoon.

loud and the chairman announced that
such Irrelevant" discussion must
cease. Another man named Martin
mildly suggested that if the candi-
dates were not announced there would
be soreness against the ticket at the
primaries. Morris only scowled at this
suggestion.
The resolutions were adopted unanf-
mously. A Hebrew member of the late
coming push" proposed that IL there
were some not satisfied with the work
of the caucus the delegate question be
reopened and debated. He had bristled
with motions and points of order dur
ing the proceedings, but his suggestion
was overwhelmed in the chorus or
"ayes'' that adjourned the meeting
After the caucus several oil those who
did not like the vest pocket program OF
Morris sought Chairman Schwamm TO
make a protest on the ground that the
caucus had no legal authority to dele
cate its power to an individual. Wnen

manner in which the caucus was run.

Yeager Protests
There were two, however. who re-
fused to be silenced. One was a man
named Yeager, a Kentucky Democrat,
who faced Morris and his chairman
and demanded to know whether the
caucus had assembled to select the
delegates or not. To silence this Nor
ris was promptly mouthing his "rea-
sons for the program. They were
that there were men in the caucus not
Democrats-Independe league men
he called them-who, il they knew the
candidates, would only criticise and
fight them. Consequently Morris bold
ly stated his purpose not to disclose
the names until Tuesday. so that the
enemy might not know the tower
of strength he proposed to spring on it.
To further "straighten things out"
as he said, a man named Craig pulled
from his pocket a resolution which the
secretary read. The resolution indorsed
Bryan and In a second paragraph in
dorsed Nathan Cole Jr. for delegate at
large to the Denver convention. Both
got applause.
But neither seemed to "straighten
out" Mr.. Yeager from Kentucky. He
wanted to know why the Democrats
who had answered the call were not

the neighborhood of the Nadeau hotel,
Eddie" Morris, Democratic state COM
mitteeman from the Seventy-f1fth as
sembly district, had all authority of
the caucus to nominate seven dele

his own hands, not to be released until
Tuesday.
Being alarmed because the announce
ment in the call named q room
which some say does not exist and be-
cause he feared some Democrats not
a part of his push" might upset his
plans, Morris started out to run the
caucus without the assistance of a
chairman or secretary. He did not
ask for nominations for chairman and
when two proposed for secretary de-
clined he attempted to appoint that
official. He finally listened to a motion
to elect them and c. N. Wright was
chosen chairman and E. f. Gerecht
secretary Without further ceremony
a man named Clark moved that the
state central committeeman (Morris)
be empowered to name the delegation.
