SUFFERS LAWYER
SURPRISES COURT
Omissions in Campaign
Statement Not an Offence
Is New Contention.

New York, Sept, 23.-D. Cady Her
rick, chief counsel for governor Sulzer
sprang a surprise in the impeachment
trial today when he argued for the
dismissal Of three articles dealing with
Suffers campaign statement and al
legged speculatiOns in Wall Street.
Messengers were sent Scurrying for
law books and members of the court
seemed to take greater interest in the
new contention than they have evil
denced during other legal preliminarieS-
Informal whispered consultations were
held. Counsel for the governor summed
up his argument as follows:
THE failure OF the governor to file
a complete and accurate statement of
campaign contributions did not con-
stitute any offence recognizable by our
''The election law does not require a
statement of contributions made to a
candidate.
THE failure of a candidate to file
the statement required by this act is
not an offence but subjects him to a
peremptOry denCnd by a court to per-
form this duty. William Sulzer never
received such a demand.
The statute recognizes a candidates
right to be given notice of errors in
his statement and his right to an op-
portuntty to correct them The state
cannot call him to account until il
first has accorded him these rights
The penal code does not require
caESSdate to file a statement of con-
tributiOns made to him and there are
no other statutes on this subject
'Incirrect statements of facts, in
serted in an affidavit. but not material
thereto, do not constitute perjury.
Perjury cannot be based on an oath
which was neither required nor author
lied by law.
AS the election law does not require
the statement to be verified and as
neither the election law nor the penal
code require the candidate to insert
contributions made TO him there is no
ground for the charge of perjury, nor
for the charge of neglect of duty"

Chicago, Ill, Sept 23.-The respOn-
sibility of averting a future meat fam
inc was put up to small farmers by
speakers at the eighth annual conven-

convention, in session here. All agreed
that if the decrease in meat production
in the last 10 years is not stopped the

most serious Among the remedies
Suggested were:
Every small farmer should raise at

the decreased production of the great
ranges of the west.
The remaining ranges should be cut
up into farms to put all farmers on an
equal footing.
Development OF the hills of New
England with their bountiful springs
ana prevailing shade as a beef produc-
ing country.
Substitution of corn for cotton in the
southern states and the consequent de
Xelopment or the cattle and hog pro-
ductiOn.
