Barnes of the State Committee has
been digging into the legislative record
of the former Senator. They are cir

against a number of social service

number of cases he voted for such
bills after they had been redrawn and
presented again in what he considered
proper shape.

Canada has ceased to be a haven for
wife deserters. If any man contem-
plates leaving mis- better half let him
write to Harry Davidson, on Black
wells Island, who will tell him the
Dominion is no place for one who
wants to throw off the burdens OF mar

Davidson, who lived at 70 Forsyth

Ida took French leave of his family

of starting the new year right by turn

the first time Harry had turned over
the same leaf when he heard the siren

INJUNCTION FOR
ELECTIONS BOARD
Citizens Union Gets Order
Against Constitutional
Convention.

As The result Of action taken by the
Citizens Union yesterday Justice Gle
gerich in the Supreme Court granted
a temporary injunction restraining the
Board of Elections here from taking
any steps looking TO holding a state
constitutional convention. He also
granted an order directing the board
TO show cause on Tuesday why the in
junction should not be made perma-
nent pending the trial Of the suit
brought by William J. Schiefelin,
chairman of the Citizens Union.
Similar injunctions will be asked to
restrain election officials in other parts
of the state.
The attempt TO overthrow the result
of the special election, where it was
decided by a majority Of 1858 votes to
hold a constitutional convention, was
made on the ground that this majority
was obtained through fraud. The Citi-
zens Union declares that proof has
been obtained that between 1000 and
5000 fraudulent votes were cast by the
Democrats in favor of the convention
in the 18th and 14th Assembly dis
tricts in Manhattan alone.
District Attorney Whitman already
has obtained the conviction Of num-
Der of election officials in the 18th,
Charles F. Murphy's district, for cast
ing votes for men who did not appear
at all.
In addition to the evidence obtained
by the District Attorney, the Citizens
Union has collected a mass of mate
rial from, other sources. 1t has not
yet completed the task. The applica-
ton for the injunction was supported
by the aiiidavits of more than seven
hundred electors whose names appeared
on the poll books as having voted, but
who declared that they did not go to
the polls. More than two hundred per-
sons have made affidavits that, though
they were supposed to have voted, they
did not live at the addresses that ap-
peared opposite their name at the time
Of the election
Afidavits Of handwriting experts
charging forgery Of names in the poll
books by election officials were also
pres anted. The evidence was, prepared
by Mansfield Ferry, attorney for Mr.
Schieffein, and special committee of
the Citizens Union.

Judge Fowler qUa3'led the writ Of
mandam1s sued ont by the town of
West Point against County Clerk Price
in the Prairie du Sac bridge matter.
Dist. Att. Bogue received the decision
Tuesday.
The town sought to compel the coun-
ty clerk to place on the tax roll the
$14, 900 proposed aid for the projected
bridge over the Wisconsin connecting
West Point with Prairie du Sac.
The Columbia county board of SUPERB
visors upon adviceof Dist. Atty. Bogu-
that the law under which it is sought
to build the Prairie du Sac bridge is
unconstitutional, last winter refused to
appropriate the $14, 900 and authorized
and directed the district attorney to de-
fend any action in court that might be
brought to compel payment. The at
t2rney general subsequently, gave an
opinion that the general law governing
the Prairie du Sa, bridge was constitu-
tional
Judge Fowler held among other
things, that the writ should have been
directed against the county board of
supervisors instead of the county clerk;
that the consent of the u. S. war de-
partment should have been obtained
before action was taken; that the issue
of county bonds for bridge aid should be
submitted to a vote of the electors of
Columbia county.
1t is expected an appeal will be t2ken
to the supreme court.

MASS MEETING
FOA LAKE: ROAD

Attic coIct1ol;e on Tuesdey eve
ming there was a mass meeting to dis
cuss a new road to Devils Lake State
park. w. H. McFetridge, anember Of
the state park board, ex planned with a
map that the road at the Kirk and Mes
senger shores would be improved, the
total expenditure at the south end of
the lake being about $4,000. The
board also desires to improve an az
proach to the north shore and for the
purpose of discussing this proposition
the meeting was called. Mr.. McFet-
ridge would like to see Grove street
near the Third ward school, extended
southwark along the section line until
the park is reached at the Claude prop
erty. Others think this would be too
expensive and would follow the East
Sank road a short distance to the west
until the Bonham farm is reached then
build new road three-fourths of a
mile east and half mile south to the
park. There are still others who would
follow the East Sank road past the
Bonham farm to the schoolhouse on top
of the hill and follow the present road
east until the Claude property is reached
near the northwest corner. A few be-
lieve the East Sank road should be fol-
lowed to the H. G. Mertzke place,
then turn east to the Sherman farm and
from there south to the lake. A COM
mittee was appointed to examine the
proposed routes and report in the near
future. The park board will build a
road across the Claude property to
meet the proposed route. There is
some opposition to a new road on ac-
count Of there being two roads to the
lake at the present time.
