'\Tdlgnatlon of the Republican leaders and the toachers Is that the stationery of the I Assembly Is being used for the political j letters. Many of these form letters have teen sent to county headquarters, by teachers.

One of tho bills woe vetoed by Mayor Hylan, who ex- -, pressed the opinion that the teachers , were getting enough money already.\ Representative F. II. La, Ouardla, the Republican candidate for President of the Board of Aldermen, made this state- ment: \I have a circular letter dated October t5, 1919, signed by Charles D. Donohue, Addressed to public school teachers of New York city, written on the letterhead of the New York Assembly, urgirv sup-'f- or tof Robert L.

That shows how confused and groggy the Democrats are, but the teachers are too intelligent, and they will certainly wonder what the one has to do with the other.\ Mrs. Grace Straehan Forsythe, who for years has teen a Democratic worker Sn sending out scores of appeals to feach-- , ers on behalf of the Democratic ticket In spite of the fact that all the teachers' legislation aJiten P\se4Jwl JfcUutbUy can leglslaturethls Is ffie wbt 'she- writes: .

Goldberg, a lawyer, who was represented yesterday as having, bolted from the Hamilton Republican Cfcbjwltlr tOO ether members and organized a cam- paign fur Justice Luce, denied yesterday that trTere was any dissension In the ranks of the Republicans in the Eleventh 'Assembly district. \There are two Republican clubs in this district,\ said Mr. Goldberg, \the Hamilton Club and tho Rooaevelt Re publican Club. Both of these organiza- tions nre supporting the entire Repub- lican ticket nnd will hold at the Glendennlng Hotel, 103d street and Amsterdam avenue, a Joint Republican rally ratifying and indorsing the whole ticket without any exception.\ Mr. Koenlg said that tho Weit'Slde committee, which Is alleged to be a Republican movement for Luce and Mc Cook with more than 300 names Is merely a name. Charles W. Lefler, who la reprraented as being active In the movement. Is said to be a classmate at Tale ofjustlce Luce. \A vote for Henry H. Curran for President of the Borouch of Manhattan is a vote fur tsoud ornment,\ said Alfred E. Marling, president of the Chamber of Commerce, yesterday. \Mr Curran, because of his years of ex- perience In 'the Board of Aldermen, In which ho made a very enviable record his knowledge of tho economic- needs of the city as chairman of the Important finance commltteo of that board, supple- mented by his natural qualifications and judicial tempernment, would make him Invaluable as head of the borough. Of proved executive ability, fearless and outspoken, he la possessed of all the ea nentlal qualifications for this Important office. MAJOR KELLY'S NAME BARRED OFF BALLOT 'Appellate Division Sustains Ruling of Justice Giegerich. Major Michael A. Kelly, who was running as an Independent candidate for President of the Board of Aldermen under the auspices of the Liberty Party, will remain oft the ballot from which he was cost by the attack made upon his petitions by the Democrats. The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court yesterday sustained the decision' of Justice Giegerich in finding that his petition was faulty. At the same time the higher court sustained Justice Gie- gerich In directing the Board of Elections to put back on the ballot the name of Patrick J. McGrath, another Tammany seceder, who is running for Justice of the Municipal Court In the Sixth Dis- trict. The lower court was overruled In Its decision to keep Harry J. Murphy, an Independent candidate for the Assembly In the Sixteenth District, off the ballot. It was decided by the Appellate Divi- sion that Mr Murphy's petition was good and the Boal of Elections should restore his name to the ballot.

USE ASE VOTES FOR NEWBURGER Rabbi Snys .Accoptanco of Murphy's Favor Is Dis- grace to Jews.\ COLBY HITS UNTERMYEIt e Declares Tammany Oandlffato'a Tactics Have Scandalized tho' Bar Here. The Rev. Dr. Stephen S. Wise said nt a' mass meeting held under the auspice; of the Independent Ju- - dtclery Committee at the Cooper Union last night that the reason he believed Irwin Untermyer wag unfit to be a Su- preme Court Justice was because \no high minded, fine spirited member of the bar of New York ought to have accepted a. nomination .Mr, 'Murphy wrongfully' withheld from Justice Newburger. 'The question has been raised,\ said Dr. Wise, \why a Jew and n rabbi should take sides when two Jews nre candidates for office and the election of either would be an. honor to the Jew ish people. I deny the premlso. Jews were honored when Judge Newburger was denied a renomlnatlon by Tammany Hall and Its super boss, but Jews are disgraced when a Jew accepts a nomina- tion nt the hands of Mr. Murphy which the latter ought never to have been nblo or willing to bestow. I would rather never have a Jew elected to public office in New York than to see Mr. Untermyer elected. \We wonder why young Mr. Unter- myer was ever called to the bench. It was not for his service at the bar, and probably not for his service In the war which, as I understand It, was as nti agriculturalist at his farm In Warren County far from the battle, front. \It Is true that the question all goes back to the unwisdom and the unfitness of choosing Judges on A basis of party servlco rather than personal merit or public distinction. The question has been addressed to me why should one not flght the system Instead of attack- ing a man named under It? We are fighting the system In Insisting on the reelection of Justice Newburger and as- - ;THE SUN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1919, sailing Mr. Murphy, who Is the embodl-- l ment of the system at Its worst\ Batnbrldgo Colby said: \Tho cheap devices used In behalf of Irwin Untermyer In lieu of his absence of qualifications for Judicial office are humiliating to the voters of the city. What bearing upon his qualifications a a Judge has tho picture of his wife and children so Industriously circulated broadcast In the city? What Is the rela- tion of a Judicial candidacy to a lot of little cheap gold scarf pins strewn among tho. voters? These ore cheap Jack tac- tics that scandalise the bar and reflect upon the Intelligence of the people. \The defeat of Irwin Untermyer wilt be a wholesome warning to the cynlcnl boss and to the callous beneficiary of the boss's favor.\ John De Wilt Warner and Mrs. Helen VarkBoswell, head of the women's committee of the county Republican I committee, were the other speaKors, ana Archibald R. Watson was chairman. LAKE WRECK INQUIRY STARTS. Divers Fall to Find More Bodies In, the Muskegon. Mubkioon, Mich., Oct. X9.

The members of the Brewers Board of Trade have been ad- vised by counsel that the Volstead Prohibition Enforcement Bill, known as the National Prohibitidn Act, is unconstitu- tional, in so far as it provides for the continuance of war prohibition. They know, as most American citizens know, that it is discriminatory and unjust. Nevertheless, the brewers will observe its terms until the courts shall pass upon it. ' A suit will be brought to test the constitutionality of these provisions, and every effort will be made to have prompt hearing!\ The original war prohibition measure was enacted ten days after the war had ended as declared by President Wilson himself The present act imposes its unexampled and oppressive provisions upon the American people almost a full year after the last shot was fired in the great conflict, and when the millions of men who were summoned to sustain our cause upon the high seas and upon the battlefield have re- turned to the pursuits of peace. Yet in its immediate effect and application it ig founded upon a pretense of actual and existing war necessity. The annals of legislation disclose few instances of more shameful abuse of legislative power. To, describe how frequently and how flagrantly this measure violates long-establish- ed American principle and long-cherish- ed American tradition would require much space. It is perhaps sufficient to indicate the ease with which persons accused under its provisions can be deprived of their right of trial by jury. How summary proceedings before and punishment by judges can be substituted for the customary processes of law. How indirect or passive infringements of the statute can be pe nalized. How-Jth- e property of one who is unable to prove his ignorance of :tKe illegal use. of his holdings by another, can be taken away and sold. . How the guilt of a person having possession of liquor of any kind is presumed? instead of his innocence. And how the burden of proof is upon him rather than upon his accuser, ' How the person living in one sort of an establishment can escape search and seizure while his neighbor, living in another sort of dwelling, is subject to invasion. How an army of Federal agents at a cost of millions of dollars, is created for enforcement purposes. How onerous regulations govern the prescribing of liquor by phy- sicians, ancf how the quantities that may be prescribed are ar- bitrarily limited. The law describes as intoxicating liquor any beverage containing as. much as half of one per cent, of alcohol by vol- ume. This is contrary to the fact, for drinks containing seven times that amount of alcohol are known to be non-intoxicati- ng. The Eighteenth Amendment contains a clause deferring its operation until a year after the date of its ratification. This was agreed upon in order to allow manufacturers and dealers a reasonable time in which to liquidate their business and wind up their affairs. The Volstead Act, in continuing war prohibition at this time, clearly violates the pledge held out by the amendment. Hence, to its many other iniquities, must be added a deliberate and calculated breach of faith. It is thus that prohibition is introduced to the American people. BREWERS BOARD OF TRADE WW
