OUTLAW PARTY
OF SOCIALISM
Assembly Passes Measures
That Would Deprive Social
Yts of Place on Ballot

ALBANY, N. Y, April 21.-Two
bills designed to bar the Socialist
party as now constituted from rep
resentation on the official election
ballot have been passed by the New
York Assembly They now go to
the Senator
The bills are results of the late
trial and expulsion of the five So
cialist members of the Assembly. 1t
was found by the committee that
the Socialist Party of New York
is a conspiracy against the govern
ment of the State and Nation, and
the Assembly upheld the decision.
The bills outlaw the Socialist
party, and make it impossible for
it to have existence in the State of
New York. If passed by the Senate
and signed by Gov Alfred E. Smith,
there will be no Socialist ticket
in that State this year.
