LEVY LAW APPEAL HEARD
Speedy Decision Expected on
Points Raised by Third PARTY.

The Appellate Division of the Supreme
Court, I'd Department. heard the appeal
yesterday from decision recently handed
down by Justice Tompkins. in Putnam
County, holding certain provisions Of the
Levy election law unconstitutional The
third party organization alta cked the law
chiefly because Of the number OF names
required TO be signed to independent
nominating petitions. The Justice decided
county officers should be cut from 800 to
1000.
The third party organization was a.s-
satisfied, as II believed that the number
should be 500 In the case OF county off,
GERS, and go In the case OF Assembly
nominations. The Board OF Elections Is
fghting TO keep the law as II stands on
the statute~books.
While the organization was partly sue
cessful In Putnam County. a similar at
tempt failed last week In Kings County,
when Justice Kelby was asked to direct
the Board OF Elections to disregard the
Objectionable features OF the law. The
decision OF Justice Kelhy was also dis
cussed before the Appellate Division yes
terday.
The chief argument against the law as
il stands is that In some counties the
total vote necessary TO elect officials II
less than 1900 II IL expected that de-
cision will be reached by the Appellate
Division within q few days

SMITH STAYS IN RACE
Jersey Elk Boss Sees Chance to
Slip Into Senate.
{ BY Telegraph to The Tribune


Trenton. ". j., Sept. 10.-With the expi-
ration Of the time for the Withdrawals
from the United States Senatorial primary
contest, the situation in the Democratic
party IS not much clarified. There was
only one retirement from the race. that OF
George w. Young the New York banker
and husband Of Nine. Nordica, who was
not considered formidable aspirant.
Since the announcement of Governor
Wilson that he would oppose the can
didacy Of James Smith, jr., the interest
has been acute. Smith is an old man. and
IL is we'll known that he is not so keen fer
the harsh political contests he at one time
courted. When the Governor made his
declaration Smith was greatly affected.
Yesterday afternoon he was considering
the matter OF withdrawing. II was con-
sldered almost sure that he would drop
out as he said:
AT my age one stops TO question
whether the reward is worth the struggle
am sixty years old, and that is not the
youthful age at which one does not match
the goal against the effort one must
make"
However, the Senator is still In the
fight. and evidently intends TO make the
contest TO win.

.RAKES PROGRESSIVE PLANS
Republican State Committee
Criticises Roosevelt Platform.

The Republican State Committee has
issued criticism Of the platform OF the
National Progressive party adopted at the
Syracuse convention. II says:
The provision which declares that "mu-
inequalities should be given power 10
adopt and amend their charters In vari-
Gus particulars Is perhaps the most re-
markable proposition ever submitted by
4 body Of individuals generally regarded
rs intelligent. A municipality is cor
poration. A corporation is an entity
which can only be created by the state.
A municipality Is just as much a creature
Of the state as Il manufacturing corpora
ton. a business corporation or a public
service corporation. Any corporation De-
rives It's powers from tho state, actirg
through its law making body. 10 say
that a corporation which can only exist
by leave of the state should be given
power 20 create itself is an absurdity. II
does not exist and cannot exist until the
state has created IL. and when the state
creates II IL gives II its charter.
The city authorities should not be given
unrestricted and uncontrolled power 20
incur obligations. ny the terms OF once
and compensation OF officials or acquire
and manage municipal properties. be-
cause IN the exercise Of those powers they
might. and very likely would, Impose seri-
Gus burdens upon the citizens OF the state
not resident In such city.
There can be no free city within the
state has the right 10 insist that all the
laws OF the state be enforced within the
city for his benefit as well as for the
benefit OF the inhabitants Of the city. To
cohcede the ulsdo OF the declaration
contained in the platform OF the Progress
s!ye party would De equivalent 10 con-
cessIOn that the city has the right 10
withdraw itself from the Jurisdiction OF
the state.
The platform declares for the enact
ment OF corrupt practices act and in
slsts that bride giving be punished by
impeachment only" Is IL proposed TO re-
peal the provisions of the Penal Law in
relation to the acceptance OF a orloe? is
the citizen who sells his vote 10 go scot
free while the Eiver OF the bride suffers
only the loss OF the Office 10 which he has
been elected? Suppose the bride giver
shall happen TO be defeated. Is he not 10
be punished In any way?
IL has generally been regarded as un-
wise 10 create governmental commissions
chargeable with governmental functions
and vested with governmental powers.
The platform declares for the creation OF
no less than seven new state commits
sions. II is impossible TO estimate what
might be the cost OF maintaining such
commissions or of carrying into effect
the purposes for which such commissions
might be created.
