BLAME TAMMANY TACTICS AND

Heard Speech From the Colonel and
Nominated Two Judges for the
Court of Appeals.

ROCHESTER,, n. Y. Sept, 27---
United States District Judge Leonard
Hand Progressive, and supreme JUS
tice Samuel SeaburN a Progressive
Democrat, today We're nominated for
chief Judge and associate judge OF
the court Of appeals, respectively by
the Progressive state committee in
session here. upon recommendation
Of the Progressive state conference.
Both are residents Of New York city.
The conference heard an address by
former President Roosevelt.
The plea of Colonel Roosevelt that
the state courts be recalled from le-
galsm to humanity and Justice was
the keynote Of nominating speeches.
Judge Hand, who was nominated
for chief judge on April 2S, 1919,
was appointed United States judge
for the southern district of New York
by President Taft
Judge Seabury became supreme
court justice in 1907.
The platform adopted by the con
ference re-affirms the principles in
the national and state platforms OF
1912. or the high court Of impeach
ment, the platform says
Much Of the evidence was a IA
miliar detail to Tammany leaders
long before the impeachment proceed
lngs was thought of. To the Tam
many mind it was not at that time
immoral II became immoral only
when the newly elected governor pro-
posed to carry out his party's plat
form and aid in the writing Of a
genuine direct primary law upon the
statute books, and when investiga-
uon by the governor began to dis
close great frauds.
THE responsibility for the shame
Of the commonwealth is not upon
Tammary Hall alone. The Barnes
machine in every crisis has been a
faithful and effective co-adajutor Of
