Custer Means More Socialists
In Legislature, Leaders Say
Morris Hillquit Characterizes Assemblys Action as
enforced Compromise and Asserts 1T Will Re-
suit i'm Greater Power to Party at Election

Local Socialist leaders last night said
that the expulsion by the Assembly of
three Of the five Socialist Assembly
men who were first ousted last winter
would result in an increased Socialist
representation in the next Legislature.
Morris Hillquit, who. was the chief
counsel for the five Socialist Assem-
blymen at their trial, said that
yesterdays action Of the Assembly
champions of the industrial rights of
labor, but also the sole defenders of
political democracy"
Alderman Algernon Lee, director of
the Rand School Of Social Science,
characterized the expulsion of Claes-
sens, Waldman and Solomon and the
seating of Orr and Demitt as Every
cheap and transparent camouhage," de-
claring that "they all stand for the
same thing" He predicted that the
ousted legislators would be reelected,
together with at least ten other AS
semblymen and three State Senators.
Attempted Compromise, Says Hillquit
ut looks like an attempted compro-
mise" said Mr.. Hillquit. "Both parties.
Republican and Democratic, were in a
predicament. They had committed the
first outrage against representative
government in ousting the Assembly,
men, and there was no appeal from
their action in the courts.
"The only appeal that was open to
the ousted Socialists was the court Of
their electorate in their respective dis
tricts. They have taken their appeal
to that court in the special election
and the verdict was overwhelming in
their favor.
"The predicament in which the
Sweet machine and its Democratic ac-
completes found themselves was this.
If they refused to seat the five re-
elected Assemblymen they foresaw q
repealed and ever greater defeat in the
coming general election. If they seated
them, on the other hand, they confessed
the law lcssness and the stupidity of
their original action, and in their sim
plicity they thought compromise
would save them from the dilemma.
"But they will find, on tho CON-
trary, that their action will have satis-
fed neither side.
"The three ousted Assemblvmen un.
dou edly will be reelected With heavv @
majoritics, and will have a large nnn,
Der of new colleagues in the next As
sembly."
Sees Benefit to Socialists

Of the affair from "a purely partisan
standpoint" he was very "well pleased
Naturally" he continued, "we are
always glad when our enemies make q
bad blunder. In this case the old
party majorities of Albany have shown
themselves poor sports and stupid
politicians. Their action will rebound
to the benefit Of the Socialist party
lnsuring us still greater gains than we
otherwise would have made.
Putting the partisan aspect aside
however" he said, II would rather
have seen the verdict of the voters
accepted, even if it took some wind
out of the Socialist sails for the pres
ent. like to have political opponents
whom I can respect. Unfortunately
we will have no choice in this case.
THE pretense Of discrimination be-
tween Claessens, Waldman and Solo
mon, on the one hand. and Dewitt
and Orr, on the other, is very cheap
and transparent. I know all five Of
these men well. I know that they
stand for the same thing. They all
stand uncompromisingly for the prin-
ciples and purposes of the Socialist
party.
Predicts Increased Representation
"Of cou-se. they will all 60 back to
Cne next Assembly and l expect to see
about ten more Socialist Assemblymen
and at least three State Senator'S go
with them"
Mr.. Lee, commenting on the fact that
Dewitt and Orr had resigned, said
that, while he did not know what steps
had been planned in the event Of such
happening, he knew that none of
them would "consent to sit by sufYerance
after law and Constitution have been
outraged by the unseating Of their COL
leagues"
Denounced by Untermyer
The ousting of the three Socialist
Assemblymen was denounced last night
by Samuel Untermyer, the lawyer, at
his home in this city.
Commenting on yesterdays action of
the Legislature, he said:
II am and always have been pro-
nouncedly anti-Socialist. There are
none of their economic policies to
which I am not vitality opposed, but l
regard the action of the Assembly as
most unfortunate. 1t is another at
tack on our democratic institutions.
The voters who elected these men, how
ever greatly we may differ from their
views, are entitled to be represented"

York branch Of the Central Federated

the very existence Of democratic gov
ernmcnt in this country.
"There can be no doubling the
meaning Of this act. 1t is brutal
dictatorship by the tools Of vested in
terests. 1t is the annihilation of the
ballot box. The electorate in five
Asse mbly districts, and for that mat
ter throughout the nation, have been
told in unmistakable terms that their
verdict at the polls las ceased to
count in this state.
"The prejudice and ignorance of the
majority Of members of the Assembly
have not shaken our faith in the ability
and willingness Of the people to undo
this crime. In that confidence we
will 60 to the electorate again. We
shall fight to the very last for gov
ernment of, by and for the people,
con this Issue there can be no doubt
Of the position Of the great masses
Of the people Of this country"

Union and secretary OF the Farmers
Labor party, said:
Calls Action am Outrage

S3st@ AGsgO@ am outrage
att is an outrage, inasmuch as the
electors who put them in Office were
satisfied with these men. The removal
is q dastardly attack on the legal ex-
preston Of the people. as voiced in the
ballot"
Herman Volk. Socialist candidate for
the Assembly from the 10th District,
said that the legislatures action
proves that the only party in America
iss the Socialist party. The Socialists
alone are fighting for representative
government"
Louis Binger, Of the New York local
OF the Socialist party, said the Assem-
bly's action would cause Socialists to
work all the harder. "We will send
nfteen representatives to the Assembly
IN N November" he declared.
commenting editorialiy on the second
custer. under the caption, "Still Drunk
With Power" declares that represent
atAve government does not exist in this
state and urges its readers to keep on
ssndlng representatives to Albany and
Washington.
Representative government in New
York does not exist and the Democrat
ic and Republican tools Of the financial
and industrial lords of the state intend
w SSc IHoS ~ 10 oSuIeQ 20 any group
of citizens who dare to send as repre-
sentativcs men and women opposed to
the interests of their masters" the edi-
torial says.
There is just one efficient answer
to this second denial of representative
government. In place Of five members
of the Legislature elected on the So
cialist ticket at least twenty-five should
be sent to the next Legislature"
Adolph Corner, organizer for Local
New York, Of the Socialist party, said
that the action of the Assembly was
highly interesting, but not in the least
surprising and that cit must be
deemed by all thinking people as q
murderous blow at whatever remained
Of representative government in this
state"
"This latest act is complete confess
sicr that it is the intention of Sweet
and his gang not to allow in the Legis-
lature of this state representatives
Of any part Of the electorate who will
not indorse the views and policies of
the profiteering crews of the country.
The New York Legislature, the self
styled champion Of law and order, has
done its best to inculcate the doctrine
of government by brute force"
