Starts Legal Proceedings and
Case Will Go to L. S. Su-
preme Court.
LITTLE DELAY IS EXPEC ED
That Final Decision Will Come
before GIynn's Term En-
pires Is Considered
Doubtful.

Albany, ~ Y. Feb. 23.-Wfliam Sulzer
Today instituted legal proceedings before
Justice Alden Chester of the Supreme
Court with the purpose of regaining the
governorship from which he was removed
last October.
An order was issued by the court COM
handing Comptroller Sohmer to appear
and show cause why a writ of mandamus
compelling him to pay the former COVER
nor his full salary as the occupant of
that office, should not be issued. Mr.
Sulzer previously had made a written
demand on Mr. Sohmer for his salary.
When Attorney-Gencral Carmody noti-
fled Justice Chester that he would oppose
the granting of the writ, the court said
he intended to refuse it as a matter of
law, holding that the court of impeach-
ment already had passed on the conten-
tons of Mr.. Sulzer
An agreement then was made between
The encouragement and Cor Alexander
5. Bacon, counsel for Mr.. Sulaer, to facli-
tate the determination Of the questions in
volved by the State courts. The appellate
division will be asked to affirm Justice
Chester's proposed order DENYING the
granting of the writ and then the case
will be carried TO the court Of appeals
where a similar request will be made
Thus Mr.. Sulzer will be able to file his
case in the Supreme Court of the United
States with little delay It is believed
Doubt is expressed, hrowever If final
decision can be obtained from the Supreme
Court before the term of Governor Glynn,
successor to Mr.. Sulzer, shall have ex-
oired on December 81, 1914
MR.. sULzERs CONVENTIONS.
The contentious raised by Mr.. Sulzer
were passed on fully by the court of i'm
parchment. Chief among them are that
the Assembly action in mpeaching hin,
was Illegal; that six members of the court
mad no right to sit. and that the acts
with which he was charged Were commit !
ted before he took office
AHidavits signed by Albert T. Geyer of !
Buffalo, democrat. George w. Jude OF
jamestown, progressive, and Clinton r /
Horton, republican, all members Of the
Assembly in 1919 were filed with tho
petition. Mr.. Geyer swore that although
he attended the session Of the Assemb'y
when the Impeachment resolution was
adopted he had no advance notice that
1t was to be presented. Messrs Jude and
Horton swore that they had no notice of
pending impeachment proceedings and
mat II they had been present they would
nave voted against the resolution
This is the first proceeding instituted
by Mr. Sulzer to test the validity of his
removal from office. Two other actions
have been started by residents of New
York city, but the former governor has
acclaimed all connection with them.

Agriculture has Jagged on account OF
methods not as good as the methods
in more thickly settled countries. But
this has only made people the more
ready to help. instead of exciting their
luminosity. During this time the rail-
roads of the country, in spite OF their
mistakes, have built up great ma
chinery Of transportation which is the
wonder OF the world so that
the railrond men of Europe
come mere 70 study them, and
call American railroad men over to
take charge Of their roads The hope
full sign is the realization that the
railroads do need the thoughtful con-
sideration of the people OF this country
and of the government
Mr.. Elliott spoke Of the sherman
law and wondered If it had been in
tended to extend so far as TO prevent
com bination OF reasonable kind
which would cripple efficiency. He
said that there was general rejoicing
when the farmer was able to get a
higher price for his product because
he needed IL, and that there should be
such spirit toward the railroads The
purchasing power OF the railroad serv-
ice he showed to have declined while
the purchasing power of the agricul-
tural products of the country has gone
up. He quoted Mr.. Prouty and Frank
lin *. Lane. another former commits
sioner, to prove that the railroads
side of the case must be taken into
consideration.
In closing, the speaker said that un-
less the people of New England get to-
Eether to help this railroad situation
the result would be to retard all the
thinSs for which the Greater Vermont
association stands. We must put this
railroad house in o"der and do better
work for New England"
