TO gain their ends"
Mr. Mitchell declared 1T was false that.
as the Mccall press agents announced
recently, he was in favor Of wholesale
reductions OF salaries. Mr.. Mitchell said
that he was opposed to bench warmers
who held on TO jobs bringing from 5000

also said that whereas ne had been
charged with stating that competent po-
licemen could be had for 81 day. the

test case, he saw no reason for subject
ing two men to the trouble and expense
OF defending themselves.
Mr.. Limburg said after the warrant had
been issued that though Mr.. Bender S
case was intended as a test of the law
others of the ten thousand against whom
he has the same evidence as that upon
which the warrant was issued for Bender
would find themselves In a serious pre-
dicament if they attempted to vote from
the residences which they had adopted
for election purposes. 1t Is his intention,
he says, to prosecute every one so voting.
The offence charged is felony, and
the offender may be punished by five
year sentence in states prison.
The complaint against Bender was
sworn TO by Clement Driscoll, former
Deputy Police Commissioner, who is
fighting ex-Sheriff "Tom' Foley in the
I'd Assembly District.
The evidence presented by Mr.. Limburg
included affidavits that Bender lived on
Morningside avenue, with his mother and
brother; that he returned to that house
from his business and left there early in
dence a contract with the telephone COM
pany and letter to the company signi-
flying his intention to move from 1l6th
street to Mornngside avenue.
Mr.. SAKE argued that IT was not suf-
ficient TO show that Bender lived on
Morningside avenue-the prosecution
must also show that he did not live at
No. 103 Cherry street. Thomas c. Plat,
Mr.. Sake said, voted In Owego. Tioga
County, for years, although he lived at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, in this city.
When Charles L. Hughes was Governor,
Mr.. SAKE said, he lived in Albany with
his wife and came to New York TO vote.
Yet, said Mr.. SAKE, he did not vote In
the 9th Assembly District. where was his
New York residence. but from the Hotel
Astor.
Generally speaking" said Justice
Gavegan. THE term residence as used
in the election law. is synonymous with
the term 'domicile.' Ii imports not only
an intention TO reside at fixed place.
but also personal presence in that place,
coupled with conduct indicative OF such
intention"
Justice Gavegan suggests that man
might own or lease a dozen pieces or
property in as many Assembly districts,
but is not expected to be guided as TO
his voting place "by his desire TO aid the
political fortunes Of his friends
II he could so choose the district IN
which to cast his ballot, Justice Gavegan
says, then the idea, fundamental In our
system OF government. that legislative
candidates shall be selected only by the
residents OF the particular district or 10
