next succeeding the first annual elec-
ton after the happening of the va
cancy"
The statutes provide that in the event
of vacancy before october Is it shall
be filled at the next general election.
While these provisions of the statutes
and constitution would seem at first
glance to make clear that a new mayor
must be elected next November 8. ter-
tain political leaeers held the view that
since Mckee automatically succeeds to
the mayorality, no vacancy exists.
The phrase in the constitution, Tex
cept to fill vacancies" therefore does
not apply to the present situation, they
argued.
II was argued further In political cir
cles that the city clerks certifleation of
vacancy merely permitted Mckee to
step into the role Of mayor, the vacancy
lasting only between the time that
Walker filed his resignation and the
time that Mckee is notified of the act.
The point as to whether a vacancy
continues to exist, the political leaders
said, can only be decided in the courts.

torial, which was printed In all the
Block newspapers and inserted as a
paid advertisement In other newspapers,
that the voters of New York will "ura-
doubtedly prove their confidence" in
former Mayor James j. Walker "by
overwhelmingly re-electing him in No
vember"
Block testified at the Hofstadter
legislative hearings, which resulted in
walkers resignation, that he had set
up joint brokerage account with
Walker and operated 1t himself. Walker
put in nothing the testimony revealed
but each drew from the account an
equal amount. $246,00o each. Block
testified the account grew out of O re-
mark by young Billy Block, the pub
lisher's son. that he couldn't under
stand now the mayor could get along
on his salary, which was then $25. GOO
The great majority will applaud
nm Tor choosing course which was
necessltated by the impossibility not
only OF combating charges pressed by
men with thwarted political ambitions.
but also OF overcoming q verdict that
looked as IL 1t had been signed sealed
and delivered. even before the trial had
started" said the Block editorial.
only those who were present at the
trial are fully aware OF the Injustice.

ruled the court room, not only toward

Gov. Roosevelt. after a very weak
handling of the Walker case up to the
time the mayor was placed on trial, has
made a g-cd showing In the trial, has
acted with dignity and has made a good
impression on the country at large
Now. by Walkers action he will be alb e

walker challenged the admisSibility
of 10 Of the conclusions on the ground
that they related to other than ofhcial
acts Of his current term, maintaining
that acts of a previous term were eX-
empt from consideration by the Cover
nor.
He denied the other charges, and
pleaded with the Governor in dra-
matte scene for the right TO confront
witnesses who testified against him be-
fore the Hofstadter Committee.
On the verge Of tears, Walker cried
out at the first session, August IL,

chance to look in the face Of my ae-
cusers."
Held Courts Powefiess.
His plea found its echo last Monday
in the opinion of Supreme Court Justice
Ellis j staley; who denied Walker
writ Of prohibition, saying the courts
Governor.
Justice Staley expressed the opinion
that the Hofstadter committee wit
nesses should have been produced for
Walker at the hesring before the Gov
erfiof. The justice also held that evi-
dence should be limited to official acts
OF walkers present term.
Armed with this exp! ession of the
Supreme Court Justices belief, Walkers
counsel, John j. Curtin. indicated that
walker might walk out of the hearing
unless the Governor revised his methods
TO conform with Justice Staley's views.
Meanwhile. the death of Walkers
brother George at Saranae Lake last

hearing until Friday. George Donnelly

Clothing Needed
By Red Cross

Childrens' clothing and shoes are
the greatest need among children
of local unemployed at present, ac-
cording to Mrs. Mae Sherry Win
ans, executive secretary of the local
Red Cross chapter.
Shoes are a particular need and
it recently was suggested that a
shoe day be held in the valley as
a means of meeting the need. Up
on that day an organized effort
would be made to collect shoes and
clothing for children.
The drive could be conducted
similar to a paper drive with auto
mobiles to call, at state intervals to
pick up contributions. This drive
would assist materially in reducing
distress among children, the great
est sufferers during the present
depression.
Dates for the proposed shoe day
will be selected soon and announced
in all valley towns.
