more than to eeny that he had in any
way violated the law while acting as
counsel for the railroad company in
1908. In the judgment of your COM
mittee the circumstances call for 5usti-
fication, and in the absence of any salts
factory explanation by him your COM
mittee is again compelled to recommend
that, Notwithstanding his other qualifi-
cations his candidacy should not be APP
proved or Endorsed by this association"
or the candidacy of Mr.. Untermyer
the report says:
He was admitted to the bar in Oc-
tober, 1910. and in 1912 became a mem
Der of the well known firm of Huggen-
heimer Untermyer & Marshall, in the
professional activities of which he has
largely participated. principally In office
work and in the preparation of briofs.
He has argued important cases, but has
had limited experience in the trial of
cases.
His brief work shows ability and
scholarship, his personal reputation is
excellent and his standing is high among
the members of the bar who have met
him. Your committee, however, is I'M
able to certify that in its judgment his
professional experience has as yet shown
him to be qualified for so important a
Supreme Court, and it therefore recon-
mends that his candidacy be not APP
proved or Endorsed by this association"
The reelection of Justice Newburger
As recommended on 1.-THE ground that his
long judicial service has been eminently
satisfactory and characterized by ex-
ceptional industry, and that his case
came within the established practice of
the association to endeavor to promote
the denomination and reelection of tried,
efficient, impartial, courteous and in
corruptible Judges.
your committee regrets that the prln-
ciples of the nomination of competent,
industrious and satisfactory Judge upon
q non-partisan basis should have been
disrogarded by the Democratic party.
This principle is sound and of vital i'm
portance to the administration of JUS
tice. Its observance has tended to pro-
mote the Independence and impartiality
of our judicial officers and the conf
dence on their part that denomination
would be dependent upon their judicial
services rather than upon considerations
of political expediency or patronage"
In disappearing the candidacy of the
remaining asprants for judicial office
the report says:
1.-THE qualifications of the remaining
candidates for these several offices have
been investigated by your committee,
namely, Messrs. Adolph Washewer,
George Strobel. Hans B. Freeze and
George G. II. Kinds for the office of
Justice of the Supreme Court Messrs.
David Pantile, Jacob Hannefald and
Henry Gilbert, for the Office of Justice
of the City Court, and Isaac NJ. Sackin
for the office of Surrogate. But none OF
these candidates seems to have had suf-
| fcient professional experience or other
wise to have shown qualifications to
warrant any assumption that he is fitted
for important judicial office"

Columbia Head Reveals Anti
Democrat Feeling in West.


Nicholas Murray Butler, president of
Columbia University, who recently re-
turned from an extensive speaking tour
through the West, said last night:
In the West the trend of public opin-
ion toward the Republican party is go
extraordinary that / do not believe any
accident can prevent the sweeping into
power Of Republican national admin
istration in 1920. The States that went
for the Democratic candidate in 1915
are just waiting to reverse the verdict
they gave three years ago.
I'm all that Western country. without
regard to occupancy or profession, there
Is feeling that the Democratic Admin
istration in Washington by acts of omis-
sion and acts of commission and by acts
of incompetence have actually imperilled
the foundations of our American iustitu-
lions. They have sternly resolved, as
their fathers did when they went to the
polls for Abraham Lincoln in 1860, that
this American Republic must be pre-
served from every attack of Socialism
or semi-Socialism. of Rolshevism or
anarchy, of a soviet form of government,
or by whatever name it may be called.
"The issue can be stated in a SEN
tence. 1t is: Americanism against
Americas enemies. and the Republican
party is for America"
The members of the Republican
County Committee, to whom DR.. Butler
was speaking, cheered for several min
utes. 1t had been many months since
80 much enthusiasm had been displayed
at meeting of the organization.

the Board of Estimate, said cgt
THE men and women of Manhattan

In such cause, and We are going TO

Of political profiteerlng, tired Of Tam

men and sick of the inside clique that
gives us boss rule instead of our own
rule We are going to stop It.
why has the Tammany ring turned
down good Judges and put UP political
favorites Did the people demand
this? Do you think the people have
any more to say about the city govern
ment than they had to say about the
Judges? Down there in City Hall the
whole of the Board of Estimate Is the
creature of Tammany Hall. The boss
has 1t all--the same boss who threw
out the good Judges, Is that govern

Show me one constructive thing that
this Board of Estimate has ACCOMPLISHED
1t is easy to blow bubbles and do moth
ing. 1t rs easy to talk. But what has
been done to meet the pressing problems
that confront us? The people of the
greatest city in the world, in distress in
these times that grow harder from day
to day, look to the Government for ca
pable, constructive relief. What do we
get? The dismissal of two good judges.
That is ALL
When you send Congressman La
Guardia and me to the Board of Esti-
mate, you will have two men there who
are not in the Tammany ring. We will
find out what is going on behind the
doors. I know how to find out, too. /

there, and they won't fool me.
1T is time to let In a little light, and
right here In Manhattan, the hunting
ground of the bosses, the people are
going to let in q whole lot of light on
election day. Then we can make an end
of thiB political prohteering and work
for constructive programme for the
benefit of all the people"
Mr.. Koenig, the county leader, after
rfming the candidates, declared that not
only would it be supported by all the
Republicans but by many Democrats
who believe in clean, orderly Govern
ment, one free from the domination of
Tammany Hall.

SOLDIER LAND BILL
CAUGHT IN DEADLOCK
Bonus Supporters Ready to
Fight Measure.
Special Despatch 10 TIE Sun.

WASHINGTON, oct. 16.-The Mondell
soldiers land bill apparently has been
caught in deadlock and no efforts viii
be made to call II up for consideration
before the House at this session. Al
though Republican Leader Mondell
(wyo) intended to ask for action about
the middle of September, opposition has
become so strong that the House leaders
have not summoned a Republican eau
Gus to determine what will be done with
the measure.
The real obstacle to the passage of
the bill Is the plan now being revived
in some circles OF giving the service
men a large additional bonus. Oppo-
nents of the land bill have served no.
tice that IL any attempt is made to
bring It UP a move will be started to
substitute a straightout bonus PROPOSE
ton for the reclamation project
Proponents of the Mondell bill do not
dare to risk this, as they would be
placed on record as voting against a
bonus for the service men. which, even
though il would save the land bill,
might prove difficult to explain. Should
the bonus be adopted 1t is admitted
there is no chance of making an appro-
p,,lation of $500. 100000 for soldiers rec
larnation work as the Mondell bill pro-
vides.
Any action, however, probably will be
denied until after the meeting of the
American Legion in November in order
that some authentic opinion of the SOL
diers' views of the land project, the
bonus proposition and all other plans
proposed to help them may be obtained
If the large number OF petitions now
being received are any indication the
soldiers do not want the reclamation
project, Representative Nichols tMieh.)
said to-day.

100000 VOTES FOR KELLY.

Major Michael A. Kelly. who is run
ming for President of the Board of AL
dermen as the candidate OF the Personal
Liberty party on a platform opposed TO
the League of Nations, declared yester-
day he would poll 100000 votes. Thirty
Personal Liberty clubs had been formed
in various parts of the city and 10000
volunteer workers had enrolled under
his banner, he declared.
There is no doubt that Major3 Kelly's
candidacy is receiving much support
from Irishmen in all boroughs who are
opposed to the League of Nations and
see a change to express their feeling by
supporting Kelly.
mo soldier who actually saw over
seas service is N favor of the League of
Nations" said Major Kelly yesterday.
There are 100000 soldiers in this
country and do not believe that one
of them favors the League of Nations"
One of the most active Kelly organiza-
tons is in Queens county.
