Citizens Union Organizes
Election Day Watchers
Men Being Recruited on Nom
Partisan Basis to Check
the Trouble

Walter T. Arndt. secretary of the
Citizens Union. announced yesterday
that his association is organizing an
emergency corps TO man the polls on
Tuesday at points where trouble Is
expected. No attempt Will be made
to cover the entire city.
"Our information Indicates that the
most serious effort to tamper with tho
vote Will be made after the vote is
cast and during the process of the
count said he. "'rhc work of check
ing this attempt is being undertaken
by the Citizens Union in cooperation
with the members of the Intercol-
legiate Civic League and repre- senta-
tives of the Nonpartisan Judiciary
Committee. Watchers are recruited
on a non partisan basis. attractions
OF the law wherever discovered will
be vigorously prosecuted. 1t has been
demonstrated again and again that an
active group OF wide-awake non par
tisan watchers has remarkably
wholesome effect in lettering viola
tors of the law. Tampering with the
vote is usually a bipartisan matter
1t can seldom be accomplished on q
large scale save by collision among
members of the boards"

Says in Speech in Bronx
1t Is Duty of State to
Set Minimum Wage Scale
to Provide Decent Living
An ''IndustriaI Injusticc''
He Thus Describes Condi-
tons Surrounding Women
Toilers in Many Cases

Governor Smith rcdedicatcd himself
yesterday to the program Of protective
legislation for women and children,
which was one Of the most holly con
tested ubjects before the Legislature
last year, and is the issue in this fall s
election in some districts.
He declared, at a women's mass
meeting in the Bronx, that the condi-
tiOns surrounding the work of women
are "the one great industrial injus-
ticc Of to-day"

Wy nrst and second
class city Of the state. | feel strongly
the necessity for it, ! feel it is the
one great industrial injustice of to-
day, and ! feel that the stat ecan rem
edy it if VIC can have this legislation"
The minimum wage law, he said. had
been adopted in several progressive
Western states, and contained nothing
new or evolutionary. 1t was the next
logical step in the program Of New
York state for the protection of women
ana chliurcn, ne SAID.
Approved by Court Of Appeals
"Thc Court Of Appeals, the highcst
tribunal in the state, putting it's stamp
of approval upon the night work law
for women said the Governor, "clearlv

uncertain language, The duty of the
state to protect the health of the

the same court that the night law for
women was an unconstitutional inter-

But the Legislature, after an exhuus-
tive investigation, after bringing be-
tore committee of its own creation
unquestionable evidence that night
work for women was injurious to the
health and webbing of the state, de-
fined policy that in the interest Of
the public health. in the interest of the

as to the time of work. as to the con

then 1t can prohibit their employment

In Richmond the fractional strife is

Bryan May Be Dry
Democrats Choice
For 1920 Campaign
Mr.. Wilson's Veto of En-.
fOrcement Measure Be-
lieved to Have Cost Him
Leadership of the Party

COLUMBUS, Ohio. Nov. H. The
nomination of William Jennings Bryan
for Pre- sidcnt on the Democratic ticket
in 1920 would not be looked upon with
dIsfavor by that element which ha>
made the United States dry and which
is now seeking to establish prohibition
throughout the world. Dry headquar
tcrs of the globe are established in this
city.
No one in connection with the
organization will admit favoritisnl
toward Bryan, but nevertheless Thu
sentiment prevails. Some time ago the
Antl-Sa!oon League announced that il
intended to use its influence to have
dry candidates nominated for Pre- sidcnt
on both the Republican and Democratic
tickets. At that time it was suggested
that Congressman S. d. Tess, of the
7th Ohio District, would be the league 5
choice for the Republican nomination
1t now appears that Bryan Will be the
leagues choice for the Democrat ic
nom nation.
Advocates Of prohibition see in the
Democratic party we'll defined schisn1
on the temperance question. which was
emphasized with the veto by President
Wilson of the prohibition law and its
passage over his veto by both houses
OF Congress.
Drys DO Not Favor Mr.. Wilson
Prohibitionists have never looked
with favor upon President Wilson sc
far as the temperance question is con
cerned. Many did not believe that in
the face of overwhelming public senti-
ment as evidenced in the dry member
ship Of Congress he would veto the
prohibition act. The anti-salo onists
behold in the Democratic party a break
on the temperance question, therefore
with William Jennings Bryan heading
the prohibition forces and Woodrow
Wilson, whose nomination was effected
at Baltimore by Bryan, as the leader
of the liberal element. Both are Pres
byterian elders.
The action Of Congress in overrid
ing Mr.. Wilson's veto is looked upon
as a distinct victory for William Jen-
nlngs Bryan over the President. A
representative of the anti-saloon

PruU Denies Failure
To Ciue Ne,u Schools
Says Hylan administration Has
Kept Its Promise in Reply
to La Cunrdia and Currnn

Aiming S. Prall, president OF the
Board Of Education, yesterday took
exception to statements made by Major
La Guardia, Republican candidate for
President of the Board of Aldermen,
and City Magistrate Curran, Republican
candidate for President Of Manhattan,
with reference to the failure of the
Hylan admin strRtion to make good its
promise to provide a seat for every
pupil in the public schools. Mr.. Prall
said in part:
"The promise and its fulhlment by
the present Administration is best
borne out by the facts--all of which
are matters Of public record. The
present Board of Estimate early in
1913, the first year Of its admnistra
ton, set aside the sum of $4,000, 600
ton erection Of new school buildings.
"Thc work Of preparing plans and
specifications was Immediately begun.
proposals and bids were invited, when
all work was stopped by the govern
ment's embargo on building construc-
ton because Of war conditions.
Immediately the government ban
was lifted school construction began in
earnest, and to-day there is under con-
struction in the city eighteen new pub
lie school buildings capable of seating
$4,000 of the $4,000 children now on
part time.
when this administration went into
office on January l, 1918, there was not
contract in force for a new public
school building in this city
"Ihe former administration, of which
Mr.. Curran was part, erected one
high school and eight elementary
schools in 1914 with money provided by
the preceding Gaynor administration.
ut erected six new school buildings
in 1915, one trade school and one ele-
mentary school building in 1916-and
not solitary building in 1917.

increase of $500 for the present dep

Heights. In the tax department the
salary Of William ]. King, examiner

"The scandal of the 1920 budget will
long be remembered as one of the par
ticularly black pages which the Hylan
administration is writing in the annals
of this city. Concoctcd in the con-
cealmcnt of secret meetings Of the Els
innate Board, the exposure of the out
RACES in this budget set the Mayor and
the Comptroller to telling the truth
about each other in a desperate at
tempt by each to fasten on the other
the culpabiity that justly attaches to
both.
Dragged Into Contempt"
"Thc government Of the most import
ant city in the country has again been
dragged into contempt by the disgrace
full spectacle Of its principal official $
hurting billingsgate at each other. The
wranglc resulted in the appropriation
of huge sums Of the taxpayers money
at meeting from which the city's
chief financial officer felt compelled to
withdraw. In an unseemly row the
Mayor insisted upon every moment of
secret session which the law allowed.
1t was sadly belated regard for tho
rights of the public which led the
Comptroller properly, though in vain,
to oppose that course.
AT the last session Of the Legsla-
ture it was the Comptroller's objection
to a prohibition of secret budget ses-
sions that furnished the prctext for the
defeat Of measure which would have
required the 1920 budget and subse-
quent ones to be prepared in the day
light of open sessions"

production of the QUESTIONABLE which
you answered, and that, ii your demand
were not promptly complied with, YOU
would appeal on the ground of high
personal privilege, that the document
be exhibited. But you do nothing of
the kind. You stand pat to use the
words OF your campaign manager, upon
your unver'iicd version of the facts.
AS Man Vcrsed in Law
on must know, as man versed in
the law, that it is rule of law that
where man is interested in suit

Court Will instruct the jury that the
latter may draw its own differences, no
matter how damaging, AS to the CON

OF fact have read over very care
fully the published report of my
speech of Thursday night. and find
no statement of fact except that YOU
have refused to permit the exhibition
OF your QUESTIONABLE.
II observe in your letter a statement
that you never took any appeal from
the classification made by the local
draft board. DO understand that YOU
deny that the district board actually
passed upon your case II so, how did
your case reach the district board. or.
1t may be. the authorities even higher
up? Was it due to the fact that YOU
filed q statement of industrial occu-
patton and, under the rules. that your
case would. automatically, be reviewed
by the district board or higher au-
thority?
Aren't You QuibbIing.
And is not this the very point. which
YOU seem to be trying to obscure {?
Aren't you really Quibblng on this
point and again getting into the range
of my only interest in this matter.
which is its bearing upon Your fitness
for judicial Office?
For your own sake sincerely hone
that, even at this eleventh hour, on
the very eve of Election Day. you will
alter your position regarding the ques-
tionnalre. Any good adviser will tell
you that, even if its contents are en-
barrasslng to you, it Will be better to
explain AS best you can what it con-
talns. rather than to persist in this
self destroying refusal to give your
consent to its production.
The hours are very few before this
campaign Will be over. You have al
ready waited. fear, too long. Your
consent, even if now given, might be
unavailing, because of the deliberate
course that official matters at Wash
ington take, but better late than never,
and there would be some saving grace
in even gesture, futile though it
might be, at the last moment if it is

the campaign was closed so far as they
