an efficient Republican administration
shall be continued or the Governors
ONCE turned over to Tammany Hall.
That ancient enemy of decent gov
ernment is now wearing a very thin
and Intellectual disguise. and the Tiger
IN Smiths clothing could deceive only
the most gullible.
Governor Whitman has a splendid
record as war Governor. Nothing has
been left undone in this state to help
the national Administration in the war.
New York is the banner state in the
Union in its record OF war service. and
credit for this is due primarily to Gov
ernor Whitman.
"The talk about extravaganza is the
old Democratic pretext for return to
power. They had their chance in this
state from 1911 to 1914. and a wretche d
mess they made OF it. Certainly there
will be no economy in Tammany gov
ernment. The truth is that the ex-
penses of the state grow, as do those
of the city, and as do those of every
individual. The expenses of the state
have grown largely on account of war
activities and because of the increased
cost IN these times of the maintenance
of our state institutions. We can trust
Governor Whitman to exercise a care
tul supervision of our OUTLAWS"

Vote for Loyal Candidate
Senator Calder Says to Favor
Disloyal is Treason

United States Senator Calder de-
ciared last night that "to vote for a
dlsioyal man for Congress, whether he
be Republican. Democrat or So
ciaiist. is to be an ally OF the enemy
Continuing. he said:
TO vote without doing ones own
thinking would be an evil. Democracy
IN such case would be cut to piece
at home while we are fighting for il
abroad. Republicans not only stood
by the President. but furnished light

Salary of $4,000
Paid to Organizer

At the head of this organization the
United States Brewers Association
placed Percy Andrea, who claims tho
honor of suggesting its formation. lis
is the man who, from the funds thus
given him, subsidized the disloyal
German-American Alliance. Even be-
fore he formed the new body he had
worked" with the German-American
Alliance in Ohio. His salary was
greater than that of any United States
official except the President, $4,000
year. At the time of the formation
of the organization he held Ohio up
As an example and stated his purpose
throughout the country. Among other
.hings he said:
The value of this work to the in
dustry in each state where it is ac
complished will be very appreciable,
for it is impossible to obtain and use
as have described the political knowl-
edge concerning Congressional dis
:ricts in any state without at the same
time acquiring the same data concern
ing the counties and Senatorial districts
of that state. 1t will there
fore rest with the interest in each
particular state to put to particular
use the knowledge obtained concerning
those smaller units"
AS stated, the facts that are known
concerning the financial activities Of
this organization are far from COM
plete The United States Senate is
seeking more of them. The following
are taken from q memorandum pre-
pared by Z. Lowry Humes, United
States Attorney in Pittsburgh, for the
use of the court in fixing sentence on
the United States Brewers Association
and allied interests when they plead
nolle contendere to indictments charg-
ing corruption.

ARTICLE V
-THE brewing interest-whosc ten
tacles reach out to Hearst's man

TIME brewing interestwhose ten
tacles reach out to Hearst's man
Brisbanc-does not stand alone.
Allied with it arc swarm of other
business interests, enlisted through
community of aim or fear of punish
ment. Among them they have gath
cred in single years funds which rival
those of great national party at A
Presidential election. And the Federal
officer who has most closely investi-
gated these funds declares that he is
far from sure that he has uncovered
all Of them. He admits that he has
learned little about how they are used.
For years there has been a unified
command in handling this great fund.
\ central organization, the National
has been formed to control it, and this
organization has accomplished three
purposes.
First, it has served as camouaagc,
since there is about the name nothing
20 suggest the liquor interest. Inc
name was actually chosen, the United
States Brewers Association records
show, because it sounded like that o.
the United States Department of Com
merce and Labor, which had not been
divided at the time this was formed
-l9l4
Second, it has given efficiency in
handling funds. To it have come
moneys not only from its parent, the
United States Brewers Association,
but from the whiskey interests ard
from allied trades and subsidiaries
which it has been able to dragon into
Inc. All its funds were under control
of one man.
Third, it has given a sort Of legal
protection against prosecution for vio-
lation of the corrupt practices act-a
protection that is incomplete, as the
Texas and Pittsburgh shows. Under
the Federal law it is criminal for a
corporation to contribute to political
funds, and, in fact, in the Pittsburgh
cases several indictments were nolie
pressed because it was found that the
alleged offenders were not incorpo-
rated. The United States Brewers AS
sociation is incorporated, and hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars coming
from the United States Brewers AS
scciation have gone into the National
Association.

Took Part Extensively
In State Campaigns

The Senate subcommittee will seek
to find out more about how these funds
were used. United States Attorney
Hunes in mis- memorandum says:
The only activities of Mr.. Andrea
and his associates were political in
nature. They participated extensively
IN numerous state campaigns, concern
ing themselves and using their funds
to influence the election of governors
lieutenant governors, United States
Senators, members Of Congress and
members Of state legislative bodies.
Some of the money was spent directly
on conducting state campaigns"
Mr.. Andrea has admitted that S42.-
633.41 of this money went toward sub.
sidizing the disloyal German-Ameri-
can Alliance. Part of this went direct
~ toward reviving the "Bulletin'' Of
that organization, publication which
III November, 1917, seven months after
this country had entered the war and a
year after Andre@'s money had resur-
rected it, published poem which
(translated) contained this:
"The oath is sacred,
Therefore it should not demand
What is so unholy! will not helm
To cut to pieces the nation from which
l sprung.
If that be treason it is inhumanity
Which so pronounces it, without shame.
in the name Of the law!
Let come what will! l am prepared!

| cr'ng aggregate in the ncighborhood
or million and half dollars"
these funds that came from the
united States Brewers Association
were not all that reached Mr. Andreae.
The records show that usually the
Wholesale Liquor Dealers Association
gave half as much as the brewers did.
The organization bureau of the United
states Brewers Association is also
known to have contributed heavily.
In addition there were the contribr-
tions from the "allicd interests" Mr..
Andreac was very hazy on this sub
Ject when he was before the United
States Senate investigating commit
tee. Here is the testimony:
Senator King-1n 1914-'15 practi
caily all the money that you collected
or that was paid to the organization
OF which you were president came
from the distillers and the brewers.

Mr.. Andre@-No; not all. That was
what afterward proved the bone of
contention. wanted an organization
OF the allied firms, among the allied
trades, such as bottlemakers and
glassmakers and SO on. / got con-
siderable amount Of funds from them.
Senator King-Did not a great por
t'on OF your funds, say, IS to 80 per
cent, come from the brewers and dis
tillers?
Mr.. Andre@-1t is possible. would
not like to be committed on that.
Quite some people depend very
largely upon their trade with the
breweries. The ramification. Of that
trade are enormous" Mr.. Andrea said
at another time when charging on
th's outside support One of the
charges the United States Senate SUBJ
committee is now preparing to inves-
tigate is that "they (the brewers) have
set IN operation an extensive system
OF boycotting Of American manufact-
urers' merchants, railroads and other
interests"
Ihe brewers themselves made sure
that funds would be available for their
use. In 1913 at meeting Of all the
brewers OF the United States, held in
Chicago, it was agreed that contracts
should be put out calling for the pay
ment by the brewers to the United
States Brewers Association of a tax of
. cents barrel on all beer brewed
These contracts were not to become ef-
fective till the amount to be produced
had reached $750,000 year. They were
20 run for five years. The minimum
was greatly exceeded

Little Rock, Ark.-A few months
ago the Episcopal diocese of Arkansas
elected Archdeacon E. T. Demby,
coIored man, to the bishopric to super
wise the work of the colored church in
the province of the Southwest. Two
weeks ago the Episcopal diocese of
North Carolina elected Archdeacon H.
B. Delaney, also a colored man, to the
bishopric with supervision over the
work of the colored churches in North
and South Carolina. In the normal
evolution of affairs it is perfectly nat
ural to expect that colored men of dis
tinction shall sooner or later be placed
in positions of high trust in church, in
industry and in civic life. In the

Negroes were killed and many
wounded. The colored citizens
are up in arms against what they term
the failure of the police to protect the
homes and persons of colored people.
Il is charged that the police invari-
ably arrested colored citizens on any
pretense, while white hoodlums were
allowed to parade the streets unmo-
Tested, stoning the homes and
churches of Negroes. Segregation Of
any kind is vigorously opposed by the
colored people, who insist that Ne
groes have a constitutional right to
live wherever they please. sugges-
tion has been made to local authori-
ties that colored police in colored sec
tions would do much to solve the pres
ent problem. Mayer Smith has been
accused of playing politics in the po-
lice force, which, according to colored
people, is inefficient A strong pro-
test was sent to Mayor Smith by
number of leading colored citizens,
condemning the action of the police.
The riot was caused last week, Satur-
day morning, and was occasioned be-
cause Mrs. Elsie Bond, colored pro-
baton officer, shot Joseph Kelly while
protecting herself and her home from
a mob of white ruffians. The toughs
had pelted Mrs. Bonds house with

is that Mrs. Bond is far above many

intelligence, culture and worldly

lynched Jim Brown, Negro near Ben
Hur, Texas. July 81, were received
here today from the National Asso-

Seventeen Negroes have been
lynched in Texas since June, 1917, a

E. Hill, 131 w. 132nd street, proprietor
of a tonsorial parlor, and Valentine
Thomas, a chiropodist of 147 w. 143rd
street, have brought an action against
Albert L. Lawton, proprietor of a res
taurant at Eighth avenue and 18th

serve them when they entered his
place recently for something to eat.
After waiting an unreasonable length
of time and becoming restless, they
called one of the mattresses, who in
formed them that they did not serve
members of that race. The gentlemen
were hungry at the time and offered
to pay their price, but Lawton would
not listen to their plea, saying it is a
policy of this establishment not to
serve race people.
