GOV. PATTERSON INSULTS
THE COUNTY COMMITTEE

hands of two office-holding partisans
of Gov. Patterson-to all intents and
purposes in his own hands. Today
the appointment of every judge and
clerk and receiver in every voting
precinct to this state is in the hands
of Malcolm r. Patterson, candidate
for Governor. Two years ago Gov.
Patterson spoke with force and elo-
quence against the great evil of the
concentration of the election machin-
cry. He declared that 1t was viola
tive of the sacred right of local self
government At that time so high
was his regard for the county COM
mittees that he proposed that the Sc
lection of all the officers in every cleo
ton, from President and Governor
down, should be entrusted to these
committees, because, as he declared,
they come fresh from the people, |
have before me a campaign document,
circulated by the wholesale in Gov.
Patterson's interest in which these
county committees are now bitterly
reviled. They are stigmatiZed as
these county machines and it is as
serted that the State Committee has
'thwarted' the attempt to use these
county committees for fraudulent
and dishonest purposes, and that 1t
prevented their nefarious' work by
the simple process of transferring all
their powers and functions to these
two nonresident office-holding parti-
sans of Gov. Patterson. What had
become of Gov. Patterson's devotion
to the sacred right of local self
government when he took all the
powers heretofore welded by ninety
six committees who come fresh from
the people and concentrated all their
rights and powers in his own hands?
my competitor refers to a rule Of
the committee that there shall be an
equal division of the officers between
the candidates. But suppose these
two office-holders of his, desperately
interested in his election. desperately
determined upon my defeat, should,
upon any trumped-up excuse, ignore
and violate the rule? Show me where
there is one line Of law to compel
them to their duty. and show me
where have any remedy II they fail?
But IL, as Gov. Patterson says, this
rule is in itself so perfect a protec-
ton, ask why II would not have been
rs perfect and complete under the
of the county commit
tees as II will be under the Hon. Ban
croft Murray and the Hon. William

THE WRIT OF INJUNCTION.

W hill" discussing .par:lmount'
ISSUES in the coming campaign, it
should not DC forgotten that as

congress that '.no writ of iujunc

should De granted in any case
without reasonable. DIcyiOus
notice TO the adverse party
or his attorney of the time and

In the act OF 1898 it was also pro-
Eldcd by congress that notice
should he given by federal Judges
before the issuance of temporary
restraining orders and injunctions.
Under this law Oul national Judges
administered justice for more than
rce-uuarterS of a century. In
1872 it was changed by emitting
the Requirement Of notice. and
since then the abuses of the write

1t is manifest that each OF the

issue upon which 1.-THE results Of
the coming election Will in Il great
measure depend.
For many years organized labor
has presented to congress its gricv-
anccS against the u>urpation of
power by the judiciary, but all to
no purpose.
Hearing ON the subject have
been had before congress iOnal
committees. cNhauSticc arguments
cmbodying the most conclusive
reasons against injunction abuses
were advanced by labor leaders
but every session of congress all
jOurned without even an attempt
ut defining the position Of the Re
publican party upon the subject.
Labor never asked congress to
suppress or prohibit the use of the
writ OF ininnction hut what it did
ask congress ior-what statesmen
plead with congress iur-;lnd what
strong messages from the president
urged congress to No--wAS to en-
act Il law prohibiting the abuse OF
injunctionS.
