Williamson Starts
New Legal Battle to
Keep His License
Attempt Of Commissioner
Hartman to Regulate Sale
of Papers Is Called Abuse
of Power by Attorney

John Williamson, the Borough Hall
newsdealer, has begun action to block
the attempt of Park Commissioner John
N Harman of Brooklyn to withhold the
renewal of his license when it expires
December 81.
Lemuel r. Qulgg, counsel for Will
hanson and other newsdealers, obtained
an order from Justice Cropsey, of the
Supreme Court directing the Park
Commissioner to show cause why he
should not be restrained from adver-
tislng or accepting bids for the priv
llege of selling newspapers at Borough
Hall. The order is returnable Decem-
Der 26
Williamson's persistent refusal to
sell Hearst newspapers because of
their questioned loyalty has made him
the target of Hearst's friends in the
city admins tration.
Quigg Attacks Position
On December 13, or thereabouts,
Park Commissioner Harman, diverging
from the usual procedure of renewing
licenses, advertised for bids, reserving
to himself, in the advertisement, the
right to determine what newspapers
should be sold on the stands
Mr.. Quigg has attacked the position
of the Park Commissioner on the
ground that it is an abuse of his dis
cretion, and that it is possible, in the
hands of prejudical or corrupt off
cial who might come into Office, to be
most gravely abused.
He represented that the law in plac-
ing discretion in the hands of public
officials has regard not only of careful
and honest and reasonable men, but
men whose motives may not be good.
Might Regulate Menu
A Commissioners discretion to de-
eide what daily newspapers can be sold
on the stands, he declared, without
having regard for the newsdealers' Gus
tom, not only exposes the newsdcalers
to loss, but takes to himself a danger
Gus discretion. And if he can say what
papers must be sold, he added, he can
say what brands of cigars or what
makes of candies shall be sold; he can
exclude as we'll as include; ne can pre-
scribe the daily menus in park res
taurants. and if the restaurant keeper
fails to include his favorite dish, say,
of corned beef and cabbage, he could
take away the restaurant mans license.

commonly accepted by leaguers as

five amendments most essential to

change of front became apparent, cul-
minating Sunday in the publication in

opinion purporting to..come from At
torney General LANCER.
Langer's Opinion.
Mr. LANCER quoted from the Wis.
consin decision to which Judge Ryan
referred as one of policy rather than
from principle, and aFlength from a
decision of Judge Spalding, written in
1908 in the case of the state ev rel
iMcCut:
"The issue in that case hinged en-
tirely upon Section l6S Of the Consti-
tuition of this state, which reads in
part as follows:
1" All changes in the boundaries OF
organized counties before taking ef-
feet shall be submitted to the electors
of the county and counties to be at
fected thereby, at a general election

"In passing upon the question in
that case whic his the question raised
regarding the votes cast on the amend
ments at the last general election, the
court makes the following Observa-
tons:
&c We next come to the interpreted
ton of the words "votes cast and to
aid us in this we may seek defini-
ton OF the word voter" This word
like the word "elector'' is used in var
ious senses, but when used in opposi-
tion to or in contrast with the word
ELECTORS" it has but one meaning. A
voter in this sense is an elector who
exercises the privilege conferred upon

vote, and in the present instance a
voter is one who voted at the last No

question in controversy is one who
actually voted either for or against

f. Justice SpaIc'ins Quoted. ~
1.-THE opinion then goes on to give
the history of the present Australian
ballot system adopted by this state.
The origin of the present system
shows very clearly the exact meaning
of the phrase votes cast in consid-
ering this subject Judge Spalding
says:
&c Under the old system it seems
quite clear that it could not reason
ably be contended, that when ques-
ton was submitted to the electors,
gathered in a body at a voting place,
where either a plurality or a majority
was required to elect, if the worde
votes cast were used in the law or
constitution, it should apply to any
thing, except votes cast, when the
electors voted for the filling Of the
particular office being voted upon, or
for or against the specific question
then in issue. In such instances It
would be absurd and ridiculous and

Taking up his story of the navy and
the war, the secretary declares the
service was "ready from stem to
stern" when the United States entered
the conflict. From the day when the
first three-year program was adopted
in 1916, he adds, Congress has given
everything that could be desired to
insure the effectiveness Of the naval
army"
Teamwork has been the navy's
slogan for five years, and it continued
to be the war motto both at home and
abroad. The striking success Of The
navy is ascribed to this fact by Mr..
Daniels, who continues:
apparently there have been times
when a Secretary of the Navy seemed
to- find friction and lack of co-opera-
tion among the officers around him. If
that spirit ever existed in the United
States navy, l can state with conf
dence and pride that there is now no
vestige Of it, and firmly believe, from
my experience, not only during the
vast year but during the five years
preceding, it will never return"

general way, is the piece of paper up
on which the voter expresses his
choice. Under the Australian system,
for the reasons above enumerated and
many others. the voter is permitted
to express his \choice or vote upon
many offices and perhaps many ques-
tons on the same ballot It Is but
an application Of the same principle
that prevailed when the choice of
the voters was expressed viva yoce
or by any Of the old methods, In 9th
er words, Notwithstanding he may
use but one ballot, the voter express
es his choice as many times as there
are candidates or questions, for or
against which he votes
Interpretation Is Similar.
1.-THE court then proceeds to inter
pref the words votes cast in the light
of the above reasoning, and in appli-
cation to their meaning as situated in
the clause then under discussion. In
so doing it writes as follows:
And it is clear to us that the
words votes cast as used in Section
16S, mean the total of the separate
votes of the voters for and against
the question submitted. The votes
cast for presidential electors have no
relation in determining who are elect
ed or which party prevails to the
votes cast for governor and visa versa.
There is no more reason why the
votes cast on the question Of creating
a new county should have any rela-
ton to the votes cast for governor.
than the votes cast for presidential
electors should have. Nor is there
any logical reason why the votes cast
for governor should have any relation
to those cast on the creation Of a new
county. ,"
