Fifteen Prominent Friends Of

dom from Influence.

In statement made public yesterday,
addressed TO the Democratic members OF
the Legislature. fifteen prominent Demo-
Gratis OF the city urge the selection OF VIII
lam F. Sheehan as United States Senator
from New York
Former Justice Abraham r. Lawrence
heads the list Of fifteen sgners. which In
cludes also the names Of w. Butler Dun
can. former Justice Henry A. GlldersleeVe'

r. Dos Passos and Henry d. Hotchkiss'
I'VE believe that there is a general sell
timent throughout the party that MS se'
vices deserve recognition" the statement
says, and though expressing their preie'
ence for Mr.. Sheehan. the signers s'a'e
that they recognize that there are 'i'"y
other worthy Democrats of equally nieh
character and attainments available io'
the Senatorship.
1T so happens that he has not acteo dc
counsel for any Of the large interstate cor
porations, railway or industrial, and mas
had no part In the organization or conduct
OF any OF them or Of any Of the trusts
the statement continues. He would ehte'
the Senate without any hampering reia-
tions, past or present. so far as the inter
state Commerce law is concerned, and WIN
no clients whose interests would in any
way he affected by or conflict with moe-
pendent and impartial service in that oooS'
In reviewing Mr. Sheehan's polltical MS
tory. the statement particularly emphasizes
his conduct of the Cleveland Presidential
compaigp OF 1902. and quotes from state
nent by the former President after his nhai
retirement In which he commends Shee-
hans capacity for ugefulness in public llle.
.In our opinion" the statment concludes
"the election OF Mr. Sheehan would lnsure
rorty conference and efficiency, afford an
opportunity for courageous ana ieNr
headed service that would be both lntelii'
gent and patriotic, bring again INTO puoii'
life a man of high ideals, Of unusual iorce
NJ character. Of original thought, strong IL
