Lewis Urges Governor to Give
Them Freedom of Action
in Primaries

ALBANY, May 23.-Attorney Gen
eral Merton E. Lewis, candidate for
the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor at the fall primaries, tonight
made public an open letter to Gov
ernor Whitman requesting him to is
sue a statement to state employees
that they are at liberty to support
their favorite candidate without fear
of retaliation. The letter follows:
Several days ago I announced my
candidacy for the Republican nomina-
ton for Governor. Immediately there
after I gave notice to all of my dep
uties and employees that they are at
liberty to support you for the nom-
ination for Governor if they choose,
without fear of retaliation on my part.
Some of them doubtless will vote for
you in the primaries.
There are employees in some of the
state departments who would like to
support me for the nomination. They
are reluctant to announce their pref
erence publicly and fear that by doing
SO they may give offence 70 you. Will
you not make public statement sim

West Orange Council
Fauors Boycott of
Unpatriofic Papers

WEST ORANGE, N. j., May 23.-The
fight to bar seditious, unpatriotic or
German newspapers from New Jersey,
in which Summit took the lead has
spread to here. Two res esolutions, which,
their sponsors believe. will bar all un-
have been passed. The members of the
West Orange Company of the New Jer-
sey State Militia Reserve have pledged
themselves to see that the resolutions
are made effective.
The first to be passed was that of
the West Orange State Militia Re-
serve. it was introduced by Harry E.
Pickenbach at the meeting attended by
about 100 members, and was passed
without a dissenting vote. The reso
luton follows
@Be it resolved, That we will not
buy, subscribe for or read the Hearst
publications or erman-language news
papers,"
In introducing his resolution, Mr..
Pickenbach, who was born in Prussia
and is a naturalized citizen, declared
he knew what the Hun machine really
is and that he believed anything which
was not bitterly opposed to it was a
decided menace.
Following the meeting of the Militia
Reserve Company. the West Orange
lOWn NOlHCll IHeL anu FOtcQ uildulIHOuS-
ly to adopt the following resolution,
which was introduced by Councilman
B. P. Laidlaw:
"Resolved, That it is the wish of the
Council that the newsdealers of West
Orange refrain from selling or offering
for sale unpatriotic or seditious publi-
cations. We also call upon all good cit
liens to refrain from buying the same,
and also ask the cooperation of the Ma
tionsl Defence League"
The resolution, it was explained by
one of the members of the council
was worded in the form adopted SO as
to keep we'll within the legal rights of
the council and to avoid the possibility
of suit unless the publisher of some
paper wishes to accept for his publica-
tion the classification Of "unpatriotie
or seditious."
The action Of the Town Council, Mr..
Pickenbach said, was taken following
the lead of the Militia Reserve Com
pany. He added that the sentiment in
West Orange was so strong in favor
of the word and spirit of both resolu-
tions that he did not believe there
would be any trouble in enforcing

head of the movement to have the or

Mr. Holmes's plan is to bring the mat

"At that meeting I shall propose
resolution" said Mr.. Holmes to-day.
"The resolution will ask two things:
First. that all Sons of the American

Militia Reserve
Of Short Hills
To Bar Hearst

SHORT HILLS, N. a., May %
Newsdealers of this community decline
to handle William Randolph Hearst's
newspapers because of the mutilation
of the Presidents Memorial Day proc
lamation and their decision was unani-
mously ratified this evening by the
local company Of the New Jersey Mil
itia Reserve.
At the end Of their drill in the pub
lie square the seventy-hve or more
members adopted, without a dissenting
vote, resolution indorsing the action
taken on Saturday by the executive
committee of the Defence League of
New Jersey in pledgine their efforts to
exclude Hearst's papers from the state
by all lawful means.
The dead silence that followed
Captain G. H. Wilson's lnterrogatory
pie of handclapping. The applause
came from feminine highwaymen in
Red Cross garb, who had deserted for
moment their task Of holding up au-
tomobiles to see what was to be done
about the Hearst papers.
The Defence League of New Jersey
whose executive committee passed the
Exclusion act" on Saturday, is com
posed of the New Jersey Militia Re-
serve and the New Jersey Home
Guard. 1t was represented on the
parade ground here this evening by it's
president, Captain J. 0. Nichols, who
briefly explained the situation and ex-
pressed the hope that the executive
committee would have the support OF
the Short Hills Militia Reserve.
No doubt of the attitude of that
body remained after the hearty "ayes'
that followed the reading of the reso-
luton by Lieutenant William A.
O'Connor. The action of the executive
committee is approved and substan-
tial support is promised in refusal to
buy Hearst papers.
The newsdealers whose decision pre-
ceded the formal action by the Militia
Reserve tonight, are actuated, they
declare, by patriotic motives. There
is also the conviction, according to
one of the leading dealers, Joseph
Fiegelstein, that for once patriotism
and good business are hand in hand
''it is pretty evident" he said, "that
the sight of the Hearst papers on oul
stands was offending our customers

SYRACUSE, MAY 23.-Alderman Harry
c. Ostrander announced to-day that
he would introduce an ordinance in
the common council Monday pro-
hibiting the sale of Hearst newspapers
in this city. He said that the attitude
shown by the New York American
and the journal" is such that action
is necessary Immediately.
"In these times of stress and danger"
he said, when every loyal American
is straining to the utmost to aid our
beloved country in its death struggle
with the most ruthless foe civilization
has ever known, it behooves us to take
every precaution against every pub
lication where there is suspicion of
disloyalty or propaganda
Reason for Ordinance
81 intend to offer this ordinance bar
ring the Hearst publications, including
the New York American and The
Evening Journal because, on Sunday,
May 12, the Hearst editors saw fit to
delete from President Wilson's Decora-
tion Day proclamation, that part that
called upon people to pray for the sue
cess of our armies.
"Why that section of the Presidents
patriotic proclamation was deleted from
the Hearst paper, unless it was done
with deliberate intent to injure the
force and the religious appeal of the
Presidents plea, is something no
patriot can understand.
81 know that apologies have been
made. but they are not apologies that
convince. For the past year the Hearst
papers have given emphasis to the
strength of the German army; the
Hearst papers have made appeal after
appeal to keep American soldiers in
America. Day after day there have been
concealed within the Hearst editorials
allegations which sane men could in
terpret only as the product of pro-
German editors.
at is time tnat Syracuse showed it's
patriotism by barring such publications,
at least for the period of the war.
Other cities have already taken such
action Can we do less than follow
in their lead?
Must Show Loyalty, He Says
Until we are convinced the Hearst
newspapers have indeed became truly
American, and are with the people
of this country in fight to the finish
and are not covertly uttering words
which are comforting only to Germany
we must bar these publications from
our city.
"The ordinance will be presented at
the meeting of the Common Council
on Monday. l expect that it will be
passed unanimously"
