Dean Chase of N. Y. Law School Says

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: IN Tho Tribune of March IA there

several law schools in this city.

On November 9th the people of

Constitution which will place City
Treasurers and City Commissioners of
the Revenue on the same basis as
that of the County Officers, and thus
allow the people to exercise their
rights, as to whom they may desire
for Office.
AS it takes the vote of the entire
State to say whether or not the City
Officers shall be allowed the same
privilege accorded the County Officers,
we trust that our voters will call
upon the Judges of Election, for this
ballot, which will be separate and
distinct from the others and by
scratching the words AGAINST you
will be giving to the Cities, rights
they should enjoy, but which can only

WALTER GRAHAM
Progressive Candidate Speaks
At Richlands And Reads
Letter From Roosevelt.

Richlands, October 30. Special. -
Walter Graham and j. l.. Einstein
addressed the voters here today and
made hit with those who heard
them, and who have been misled and
did not know the real condition of
affairs MIR. Graham made 1t plain to
the people that he was the candidate
of the Progressive party-that he had
been former Republican and had
grown tired of boss rule and deception
of the Republicans. and had Joined
the Progrcssives movement to give
the people chance to run the gov
ernment by their consent. He branded
MS soundrels those malicious traducers
who have circulated the malicious
lies that he is not n citizen and that
he had not voted here He made il
plain that he was not being run by
the Democrats; that he was tho
recognized candidate of tho Progress
i've party. and hnd the endorsement
of the straight Progressive organza-
tion State, National, district and
county and also read letters and tele-
grams from Dixon to Colonel Brown
ing, etc. He rend the appended letter
from Elmor Roosevelt to G.. G.. Har-
ris, editor of The Enterprise, which
set forth strong reasons why the Pro-
grcssives should not support Slemp.
the Virginia manipulation at the Chi
cago convention, and why they should
support Walter Graham, the Progress
i've candidate and return the coal bar
on and pie boss to private life.
THE ROOSEVELT LETTER.
New York. Oct. 2S, 1912.
Mr.. G. G. Harris. Editor the En-
terprisc. Richlands, Va. Dear Sir J.
Your to legrnm to Col. Roosevelt has
been turned over to me. 1t is alb
solutely Inconsistent to vote for the
Progressive leader and for Slemp for
Congress in tho 9th Virginia District.
1t Is necessary to have not only
Progressive executive, but also Pro-
grossive Legislators. Mr.. Graham is
the Progressive candidate in that dis
trict and should he supported by all.
He believes in the national platform
of the Progressive party and stands
for Progressive principles. There is
every reason why Mr.. Slemp should
not be supported for, anyone who
supports the nominee Of tho so-cnlled
Republican convention in Chicago
thereby forfcits tho support of every
honest man.
Yours very truly,
GEORGE T.. ROOSEVELT.
