OPPOSE WRIT FOR
VOTING MACHINES
Three Justices Upstate Deny
Motion to Readjust Names
in Party Columns.

The writ obtained by Clarence j.
Shearn, as counsel for the Democratic,
Progressive and independence League
parties, directing that voting machines
in thirty-four counties be readJusted
so that the name Of a candidate would
appear in the column Of every party OF
which he was a nominee. met decided
opposition upstate yesterday.
In Syracuse Justice Andrews denied
the petition for writ of mandamus
forcing the commissioners Of elections
to change the method of voting. JUS
tice Sutherland, in Rochester, also de-
MED Shearn's motion. Justice Marcus,
in "A special term of the Supreme Court,
at Buffalo, followed suit.
OF the three justices, Marcus and
Andrews decided that the petition for
the writ came too late, and they de-
MED IL on the grounds Of "imoracti-
cability and impossiDiiity." Justice An
drews said he would not take the risk
Of having the machines tempered with,
because they might not be in proper
repair on Election Day. He asserted
that the danger apprehended is
greater than the actual danger" and
that he did not think the change asked
would make any material difference in
the result of the voting.
Justice Sutherland made his decision
on the point of law. He said that, ac-
cording to the law of 1911. each can
ddate's name shall appear but once on
the ballot. The only exception was
made IN the case Of Cayuga County,
which does not have any name or any
direction appear opposite the name of
Justice Adclbert z. Rich, candidate for
justice in the Supreme Court, except
in the Democratic column. Justice
Sutherland ordered the name. or some
equivalent direction, TO be pasted in
the blank space.
The petition for the writ was based
principally on the fact that the name
Of Justice Scabury, Democratic and
Progressive nominee for associate JUS
tice Of the Court Of Appeals, did not
appear in the Progressive as we'll as

GARRISON DUCKS
STATE TICKET
Makes Chief Plea to Dem
OCrats-One for Will

To the tune Of "Tammany," Lindley
VI. Garrison. Secretary OF war was
ushered into Manhattan Casino last
night TO put another national admin
istration punch into the Tammany
campaign for the Glynu- Benscl- Sohmer
ticket MIR. Garrison was introduced as
chairman Of the meeting.
After proclaiming that the New

3uC even international. Importance,
and declaring that "the defeat OF the
Democratic candidates will be herald
ed as the defeat of the President ana
,hp principles for which he and the
Democratic party have stood IN the
nation" he reached the state ticket.
He avoided volcing the support OF
President Wilson's administration Tor
the man who has been condemned by
grand Jury as unfit for public service
and who refused to waive immunity
when called upon to testify IN the
highway graft investigation, but still
wants TO he reelected state Engineer.
He also avoided mention of the man
whom Mayor Mitchell has decided 20
cut from his Democratic ballot on ac-
count Of his glaring subscrvicnce 10
Tammany. -,
Secretary Garrison mentioned neither
Bensei nor Sohmer, nor the offices they
are running for. He contented him
self with mentioning Governor Glynn
and then switched to Congress and
Senate candidates. Here IS the way he
managed It:

Your Governor has made good ana

turned to aid the President and the
country in strenuous days yet to come.
Yours is the Empire state. ia
voice is louder and larger than any
other. If Democracy fails here great
will be the rejoicing Of It's enemies.
If il succeeds here, great will be the
rejoicing Of its friends

and asserting that IT had no definite

GRAND JURY ISSUES
REPLY TO Mitchell
Calls Upon Mayor to Publish
Full Report on Charities
investigation.

In reply to Mayor Mitchels criticism
of its report on the Charities Depart
ment and Commissioner Kingsbury's
conduct of his Office the August grand
jury issued yesterday a statement, in
which it said:
IAN article has appeared in the diff
ferent papers of New York City wherein
Mayor Mitchell critlcises. belitt,es and
insults the August grand jury, APP
pointed TO investigate a matter which
came before it, namely, the stealing of
valuables from a dead body that was
brought TO the morgue.
THE committee which was appointed
was only charitably inclined. and
simply for charity's sake undertook the
investigation OF the morgue. The pitt
full conditions of same having been re-
ported TO the grand jury, 1t was re-
quested 10 investigate further other in
stitutions in which the city was inter-
ested.
1--WE deem it far more prudent for
Mayor Mitchell to investigate person
ally than 20 cause insinuations and
criticisms to be placed upon the grand
Jury, whose duty, as we understand il.
is TO make Investigations.
Since Mayor Mitchell has taken II
upon himself, without knowing what
the committee Of the grand jury found
and what they recommended. TO make
this criticism, we think, in justice to
the committee, that after his recent
of same he should give the report in
its entirety to the public, 50 that thew
may be able to Judge if the Mayor or
any officer can take it upon himself
publicly TO criticise and insult BODY
of gentlemen who, i'm fairness and
charity, place before the proper an.
thorities the needs and necessities
which they think 1t advisable to be in
stituted"
