SOCIALISTS SAY
CUSTER ACT IS
NULL AND VOID
Action Came Before Issue of
Election Certificates
WAS THEREFORE, ILLEGAL
Matter May Finally Have to Be TAX
en- to the Courts for
Settlement.

Albany. Sept. 22-The three So
cialist Assembymen unseated last
night for the second time this year
challenged the whole custer proceed
ings today, declaring it null and void
because action was taken before they
had obtained their certificates Of
election. Those expelled are August
Classens, Charles Solomon and Louis
Waldman.
Not having their certificates, the
Socialists maintain they did not le-
gally and technically have their seats
and, therefore, could not be thrown
out OF positions they did not officially
occupy, Francis M Hugo, Secretary
OF State, administered the oath of of
fice without requiring the certificate
OF election, and UP to date no such
certificates have been issued,
The AttorneyGeneral was asked to
day to give ruling on the question.
Mr.. Newton was out of town, but at
his Office it was admitted that a seri
GUS situation was presented and that
probably 1t would have to go to the
courts for decision. If the contention
OF the Social SITS is upheld they still
will be members of the Legislature
and will have to be ousted again if
their presence is not desired in that
body.

ROAD MEETING SATURDAY
AT THE KELLEY STAND
Outdoor Gathering and Picnic In Be.
half Of the Old Turnpike Through
the Sunderland Pass.

Automobile owners who are inter-
ested in the roads of this section of
the state should not forget the eX.
cursion to the Kelley Stand Saturday
September 25 in the interest of the
old turnpike road over the Sunder
land pass.
Everybody is invited to take lunch
and join the party and enough should
go to show the interest this part of
the state has in keeping this old road
in use. State Highway Commissioner
Bates and County Supervisor Plumb
will join the party
The plan is to join the party from
Wndham county for an outdoor lunch
at one o'clock and then hold brief
conference on the proper steps to be
taken TO keep the road open.
This old turnpike which needs at
tention is located in the town of Sun
derland and Stratton, both Of which
are small and poor mountain towns.
1t is not the expectation OF the pro-
moters Of the Saturday meeting that
a first-class highway will be built over
the old turnpike, but they are earnest
in the belief that the road should at
least be kept so il can be used.
For the gathering and picnic dinner
next Saturday the Bennington county
party has the best of the bargain as
the road up to the Kelley Stand is in
fair condition and much better than
the Windham county side
The route from this end of the cOun-
ty is to 20 to East Arlington and then
turn east up the Branch seven miles
to the old lumber camp and deserted
hotel known as the Kelley Stand which
is one OF the most attractive spots
among the Green Mountains, If Sat
urday proves pleasant day there is
likely to be good sized gathering.
