Sulzer To Be Heard.

Mr.. Herrick incidentally made the sig
nincant statement that, whatever the out
come OF the impeachment trial. Sulzer
would take occasion 10 make public his
defence against the charges.
I'm asking these articles to be dis
missed" he said. I'VE are not endeavor-
ing 10 shield William Sulzer from an
swering the matters therein set forth.
Sooner or later he must do so. either here
or at the bar Of public opinion. and when
that time comes. whether II be here or
elsewhere, we have no apprehension but
that those answers will be full and suf-
fcient"
Mr.. Hcrrick emphasized first the point
that the power OF impeachment had been
viewed by the trainers OF the federal
Constitution as one of such magnitude
that il would be exceedingly dangerous
unless carefully guarded and restrained.
He contended that under the state con-
stitution there was no definition OF i'm
peachable offences.
III that be the law II the Assembly
can impeach for acts done by an official
during his term OF office. as well as for
acts done by him when a private citizen
before he had become public official,
thereby suspending him indefinitely from
discharging the duties OF his Office. then
the door is opened wide TO an unscupu-
lous majority TO impeach an official whose
conduct in ONCE has been upright and
honest. who has stood in the way OF
graft and corruption, but Who, perchance,
before coming into once, has been guilty
OF some indiscretion or worse. TO i'm
peach. in fact not for any Official mis-
conduct. but because OF his refusal to
abuse the powers Of his Office"
Mr.. HerrIck argued that IL that is the
Law the present Court of Impeachment
would be called upon TO fulfil a legis-
latlve as we'll as a judicial function-to
determine what constituted an impeach-
able offence. and then to try the Governor
upon that or those offences. which double

False Statement pisqualifss.

Instead Of the candidate being re-
CURED 10 take but an oath before he en-
tiers upon the duties Of his office he is re.
quired TO make this certificate during the
inchoste period just after he has been
voted for as candidate, and to take the
oath when he assumes the duties OF the
ONCE. The falsity OF statement Of receipts
and expenditures is as surely violation
Of official duty. not perhaps as noxious In
its effect and yet in view OF the purposes
Of the statute scarcely less so. and just
as much scandalzes the state and is Just
as much evidence Of moral unftness for
the office as the violation OF the inaugural
oath taken at the beginning OF the term.

ment In November is not fitted. nor 1T. for
public office in January; he who commits
larceny in October NAV not be Entrusted

Where is the harm that can come TO
the state from the violation OF the oath
Of Office that does not come from false
certificate as TO what las been done while

in the one case that does not follow in the
other? Indeed, the falsity OF the GER
tihcate as 70 the receipts and expend-
itures is the more precisely provable and
the more precisely wrong than 10 the vio-
lation OF the Official oath because II re-
lates to specific and absolute facts. while
the violation Of the official oath may have
something OF difference OF opinion as 70
what constitutes official duty in a given
case in It's defence. But there can be no
possible defence or palliation Of the act
of suppressins contributions and expend-
itures nor IN making a false affidavit as
to them"
Isidor Kresel argued for the managers
on the contention advanced by the Sulzer
side that the laws did not require Sulzer
10 make a sworn accounting OF his cleo
ton receipts. He said tfat such con-
tention implied inability TO understa nd
either the statutes or the English IAN
guage. in which they were drawn. lie con-
tended also that the crime alleged in the
articles of impeachment under attack was
perjury-not something resembling per-
jury. Mr.. Parker presented still another
phase OF the question TO the court.
Sulzsr Gives Up TO Giynn.
When counsel for the Governor began
their attack upon the first, second and
sixth articles OF impeachment Mr. Her
rick opened the argument. prefacing his
argument with the brief statement which
made formal admission before the i'm
parchment court that Sulzer had surren-
dered the Govcrnor.hip until the end Of
the trial

Herrick Argues for SuIrer.

Mr. Herrick's argument divided natural
ly into two main topics. The first gen
ernl claim. substantiat.d by citations, at
lacking the proposition that the Court o'
Impeachment had any power 10 determine
exactly what might constitute impeach-
able offences and declaring that neither
the constitution nor the laws set forth
what would constitute such offences. and
the second q specific series OF claims based
on citations OF the corrupt practices act
and the Penal Code. and following closely
the formal objections set forth by Louis
Marshall. lie summed up these specific
claims az follows:
THE failure Of William Sulzer TO file
complete and accurate statement Of
all contributions made 70 him and his
affidavit that the statement flied by him
pas complete and accurate do not con-
stitute any offence recognizable by our
laws.
"First-Ths election law does not re-
ou.re a statement OF contributions made
10 a candidate.
"Second-The failure OF candidate TO
file the statement required by this act
Is not an offence, but subjects him to a
peremptory demand by a court 10 per-
form this duty.
"Third-There is no allegation that
William Sulzer ever received such a de-
mand.
"Fourth-The statute recognizes a can
didate's right TO be given notice OF errors
in his statement and his right TO an OPP
portunity TO correct them. The state can
not call him 10 account until IL has ac-
corded him these rights that the statute
affords.
"Flfth-The Penal Code does not require
candidate 10 file a statement 81 con-
tributions made 10 him. and there are no
other statutes on this subject.
"Sixth-Incorrect statements ~ facts
inserted in an AFFIDAVIT. but not material
thereto DO not constitute perjury.
Seventh Perjury cannot be based on
an oath which was neither required nor
authorized by law.
"Eighth--As the election law does not
require the statement to be verified. and
AZ neither the election law nor the Penal
Code requires the candidate to insert con
tributions made TO him. there Is no ground
for the charge of perjury nor for the
charge OF neglect OF duty"

Not Pursed by Election.

The defence. in resting upon the propo-
sition that impeachment may not be had"
said Bracket. must claim that the peo-
pie have a right 10 elect a criminal 10
high office, and that. having done so, there
is no relief; that such election purses the
offender from the faint OF crime and
leaves him free to assume the role Of an

FIRST INSTITUTE
HELD SATURDAY
President Widtsoe and Or. Peterson
Each Gave Interesting Addresses
To High School Teachers

Cache county high school princip
ais and teachers met Saturday in tht
first institute of the year. The meet
ings we're he d at the Utah Agricul
tural College and many plans and
suggestions for the years work were
outlined. DR.. T.. G.. Peterson, head
of the U. A. G. Extension Division
was the first to address the meeting
He outlined the modern trend of ed
ucation, showing that the changes in
the curriculum that are being
brought about are largely founded on
industrial principles and growth. The
invitation to hold coming institutes
at the U. A. C. and the desire of its
faculty to co operate closely with the
high schools in lending every possible
aid, was graciously expressed.
The following committees and
their chairmen have been appointed
for the coming year: Institute, Prin-
cipal Justeson of the Wellsyille high;
debating and public address, Princi.
pal Ensign of Smithfeld High; ath-
letics, Professor Plant Of Richmond;
school paper, Principal Adams OF Hy-
rum high. Each committee submit
ted a report and after considerable
discussion the reports were adopted.
The county will enter more extens-
lively than ever into the above activ-
tiles. President Widtsoe gave the
closing address in most happy vein.
He clearly demonstrated his broad
and sympathy with the
high school movement. At the con-
clusion of his pretinent remarks, he
invited the teachers to the cafeteria
where a splendid luncheon was en-
ioyed The convention was voted to |
be among the most profitable ever
held.
