DEBATE 0USTINC
OF SOCIALISTS
Situation in New York Legislature
Discussed by Fortnightly Litea
airy Club Friday Evening

Miss Emma Gattiker, at the open
ing of the regular meetingof the Fort
nightly Literary club on Friday even
ing at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. r
B. Griggs paid a beautiful and de
served tribute to the late Mrs. Cath
crime Crandall Train. Miss Gattikel
had been associated with her in
church and club work as we'll as in
other activities and spoke very feel
ingly Of the good works of the deceas
ed. Appropriate resolutions were
adopted.
Ousting of the Socialists
Whether or not the five socialists
should have been ousted from the
New York legislature was discussed,
H. e. Cole speaking for the afirma-
tive and Ralf T. Runge for the mega
tive. 1t was held the Socialist party
was not on trial but that the expul-
sion was the result Of the disloyal ac-
tivities and beliefs of the members.
1t was pointed out that one of the
earliest cases in which this right was
exercised was the refusal to admit
John Smith Of Ohio to the United
States senate bee huse, with Aaron
Burr, he had been indicted for trea-
son, the Indictment against Smith la
ter being quashed.
1t was held the five socialists were
expelled because:
/. They refused to vote money in
support of the government in time
of war.
2. They opposed conscription of
life and property in time Of war.
3. They were for the reputation
of war debts.
4. They had signed resignation
blanks before going to Albany, thus
being at the mercy Of dues-paying
members, many of whom may have
been aliens.
5. The socialists party was plan
ming for a general Industrial strike.
6. They were members of an or
ganization which believed in revolu-
ton in order to overthrow the govern
ment.
Z. The members of the assembly
had a right to judge the qualifications
Of its members.
The step taken by the legislature
was well vindicated by the Socialists
when they later radically changed
their platforms and principles.
Against the Oustinq
Mr. Runge was aginst the ousting
Of the Socialists on the ground that:
1, The principle was wrong-it left
the five legislative districts without
representation. Taxation without rep
resentation today is as unjust as it
was in the colonial period of America.
2 There were no definite charges
proven against the five Socialists.
They may have believed certain things
but they had not openly committed
any crime for which they had been
found guilty as in the case Of Victor
Berger.
3. The method of procedure was
Objectionable it was lawless, it was
legislative lynching. If they were
guilty why should they not have been
tried by a regular court? They were
not recognized by the speaker and had
40 chance to defend themselves. The
whole procedure was on party lines
and unfair.
Former Chief Justice Hughes and
others Of ability stood for the Social
sts and many leading editors were in
with them.
In the general discussion which fol-
owed it was agreed the action was
good for the Socialist party in that
he organization has since taken a
more modified position on a number
If ideas.
