Ten counties, mostly in remote sec

Returns which came in rather
briskly from the cities last night were

tee asserted today in a brief filed
with the committee. which conducted
an investigation into the charges Of
disloyalty against the men.
st is by the organization to which
they belong that these men must be
Judged" says the brief. Their indi-
vidual acts and declarations in so
far as they have been proved serve
merely to illunnine and show in con-
crete the principal purposes and pro-
gram for which their organization
stands and to confirm the seditious
purposes Of the party TO which they
belong.
Want Change.
Socialists are trying to bring
about a change of government by
political action, backed up by Il gen
eEal strike, the two being employed
as the two strong arms of a giant
| to pull down the structure of our
government. which has been built
and maintained through the inspira-
ton, the toll and the blood of count
less loyal citizens of this republic
The brief contends the Socialists
are ineligible because of their dis
loyalty to the United States of Amer
lea and state of. New York"
In support of the contention that
attempting to bring about revolu-
tion in this country as part of the
international social revolution" the
brief says;
EFT has opposed and obstructed
and continues to oppose and OBJ
struct the government of the United
States and Of this state in all meas
ures relating to the national and
state defense.
'It has advocated and melted the
