INCREDIBLE FOLLY,
HUGHES'S VIEW OF
SOCIALIST CUSTER
Former Justice Says Repub-
Iican Members Violated
Their Party Platform.
OUSTED MEN DEFIANT.
Socialists Who Were Seated
Deny Having Resigned,
but May Later.

Charles y. Hughes to-day made IN,
following statement with respec. {
The oustsr-of the Socialists:
Tho custer OF the Socialist
members OF the Assembly Is an
act OF incredible folly and Is IN
fragrant disregard OF the funda-
mental principles OF American in
stitutions. l nm absolutely OPP
posed TO Socialism. and lt is be-
cause / wish 10 see our lnstltu-
tions preserved that 7 think this
act on, which is OF the essence OF
sovietism. should be denounced
1T is the more fagrunt because
these members OF the Assembly
had just been reelected In accord
ance with our laws and at a fair
election. Aud because, 80 far az
provisions Of the constitution OF
thc Socialist Party gave any pre-
text for the previous custer, these
had been removed.
THE statement OF Assembly
man Martin, Chairman Of the
judiciary Committee. puts the
matter very clearly. lie says:
There was no charge against
any OF them personally as in
dividuals. No personal guilt was
charged against them. Since
then their organization has COM
piled with our Constitution and
our laws. We have no right 10
exclude them
80 tar as Republicans voted TO
oust the Socialist members Is
concerned, they acted in direct
violation OF their party platform.
II Is fatuous 10 suppose that pro-
cedure OF this sort is a protection
against Socialism, II has Just the
opposite effect The one consollng
feature OF the matter Is that We
may be assured that this custer
does not reheot the sentiment OF
the people OF the state, but Is
merely the action OF few exer-
c.sing a temporary power which
has been sadly abused"
All those ~ the ousted Socialist
and the two who resigned are can
dldates for reelection az the Noyem
her election and an predict anotht
victory at toe polls.

HIS ERROR


 Ut really was E1mer's fault" per- sisted the young wife with. the dimple in her chin. "Only he won't admit it''
 Admit 1t, Elmer" advised the other man at the card table, benev6lently After you have been married ten years, my boy, you'll admit every single thing they think you should. Why, you'll admit you were the man who started the great war or put tip the price of sugar or any atrocity. Go on and admit it"
 .'f'll not, stated Elmer, who had an obstinate jaw I am not going to start il being browbeaten and made the family goat There's going to be justice and fairness in this household" {"
 "Oai" said the other man. How lucky it is I happened in tonight, El- rner, when you needed me so badly. Why, every wife has an inalienable right to blame things on her husband didn't you kfow that? That's one of the big reasons she married him. Up to that time she's had to stand from under when her family hurled things at her and told her she was to blame for something and the minute a big. strong man offers his broad shoulders to bear her burdens she joyfully grabs the chance of relief. She may be a loving wife and adore her husband, but nevertheless, with n5 duairns and whole hearted sheer ity she is going to blame her husband for everything that goes wrong, no matter it if is that the jelly won't jell or her club changes the hour of it's meetings.

rREATX-DIscussIohs.

In connection with the statement made by Viscount Grey, as an ex- planation regarding the stand that is being taken in this country concern ing reservations to the treaty. the claim has been made that the special representative of Great Britain was overstepping his rights and attempt ing to influence legislation in this country
 It will, however. be remembered that Viscount Grey was decidedly cautious regarding what he had to say concerning the treaty while hs was here. Whatever statements he made were caFefuiiy guarded. He made no public utterances and ap- parently what he did say was simply brought out in conversations and then so protected that he would not violate proprieties. That he should feel the need Of explaining the sit nation here to the people of Great Britain on his return is not shrpris- ing. They have a right to feel that they shouldNbe informed on the req sons for the delay in ratffyihg the treaty by the United States. Wis count Grey didn't tell the president the same thing. possibly. because he wasn't given the chance.
 In the stubborn fight for the rati- fcatioh of the treaty without any change it can be appreciated that the administration forces here are dis turbed by the Grey letter to ths ef- feet that reservations are aeceptable 10 those who the president thinks might be chilled if the treaty was ir any way changed.
 When 1t was evident that thA treaty as 1t came from Paris could not be ratified. it was suggested that sentiment of Europe might be sound ed on reservations. Whether such was attempted is not known but Fn- gland has furnished the desired in- formation and the intimations from France are that it takes a similar view.
 As far as trying to influence action here it doesn't appear that the Grey letter to the British people was any more inconsiderate of affairs in th,, country than may have been the &C., tioh of President Wilson in teIlins the Italian people what they ought tf do. If one wasn't regarded as | bteach of pfopfieties the other odsht not to De.

MR. HoovER,s STATEMENT.

After a period of uncertainty Her bert Hoover has issued a statement which shows where he stands on cer- tain points relative to the suggestion that he be a candidate for president of the United States, but upon oth- CTS the situation remains the same.
 Ever since MT. Hoover's name has been mentioned there has been un- certainty about his politics. Tn fact he hasn't been involved in politics and has apparently taken such q small party in political matters that the last time he voted he cast a re- publican ballot, but since that time he had been upholding the plea of President Wilson for the election of a democratic congress. Even now he has not acknowledged his affiliation with any party but rather is it indi- cated that he is attached to nons and changes from one to the other sc- cording to his feelings.
 That he is not candidate in the sense that he has an organization and is seeking the nomination has been made plain. The fact seems to be that he is only in the Hands of his Ir1en0S as Idf as can0l0acy Is con- cerned. that it is impossible for any one to put a finger on his political views and such being the case the chances of his being selected by eith- CT of the political parties haven't been improved by his explanation.
 There are some points, however, On which Mir. Hoover has set at rest any ioubt He doesn't believe that there should be more than two parties and he is opposed to socialism, to nation alization of industry and to setting aside the guarantees of free speech. On the question of the treaty. how ever, Mir. Hoover plainly indicates that he favors it's ratification with reservations, and such reservations as are necessary to show that there 'can be no infringement of the safe guards provided by our Constitution and our nations old traditions.'
 Thus Mir. Hoover has given some enlightenment regarding himself. Possibly he will have more to say later.
