CLAYTON FATTEY'S WILL BE AT EAST ARCADE . Clayton Fattey's Roycroft orches- a^ut-if^a^»T'l ^ fc ^^ E !^ r 7 Ar ^ dance Friday night, September 3rd, stated publicly, at that dinner, by As semblyman Wallace, that \the pres ent session of the legislature will be the last for Assemblymen Joiner.\ That statement was published in the Democrat & Chronicle and was repub lished in the Western New Yorker in its issue of April 22nd. That pub lished statement was never denied nor repudiated by (Mr. Joiner. The whole of Wyoming County had every reason to believe it. If Mr. Jginer had intended to be a candidate again, he certainly would have called upon the Western New Yorker to make a correction. The facts are that if he had stated that he was a candidate for another nomination any time up to within two weeks of the time the County Committee met at the Country Club in June, the committee would probably have done just what it did on June 30, 1922; it would have designated Assemblyman Joiner again. There was no disposi tion to forestall ANYBODY. At a meeting of the Republican County Committee held at the Silver Lake Country Club on Thursday, June 30,. 1922 the renomination of < certain gentlemen to succeed themselves was moved and carried, and the gen tleman who made the motion to en dorse Mr. Joiner was Sam Hart, of Perry. The Committee HAS desig nated candidates for renomination before this, as Mr. Joiner knows for he was the beneficiary of that action. So, there is no possible fault to be found by him or his friends because the committee voted to designate candidates this year. He knew the committee possessed the power, and the right and the precedent In the face of such facts, WHY all the con versation about committee action this year? Every year, previously, Mr. Joiner had done just as all the other candi dates do; he went to the chairman of the County Committee and stated his position. Mr. Joiner possesses no more rights within the Republican party than any other man of standing and up t o this year, he did the cour teous and gentlemanly thing and; said the the chosen representative of. the Republicans of Wyoming County that he would like to be permitted to> rep resent them at Albany again. THIS YEAR HE DID NOTHING OF THE SORT. What was natural inference?* Many of the- candidates had their announcements in the pa pers and the Republican voters of the county had been fairly informed of their ambitions, but Mr. Joiner did nothing of the sort. Any Republi can in the county was justified in concluding that (Mr. Joiner would not be a candidate. Can anybody deny that? There was n o basis for any misun derstanding on the part of anybody rt is no part of the duties of the man who represents the Republican Or ganization of Wyoming County to go to Mr. Joiner to see whether he wants something or not, any more than it is his duty to go t o any one of the other 6700 Republicans in the county and ask them if they want to be a candidate. It is sjlly to assume that he is required to spend -his time in any such fashion. Any man who wants a favor at the hands of the Republican voters in Wyoming Coun ty owes it to those voters ajld their ohosen representatives the COUR TESY of presenting his requests jn the usual, acecpted fashion. The writer knows nothing about any move on the part of Perry Repub licans to ^nominate Mr. Hanley for Congress, except what he heard at second hand. Certainly it was with in the rights of Perry Republicans to ask for the nomination of Mr. Hanley as Member of Assembly, and i t was within their rights to asil the Commit- tee to do what it had done \fflr~Mrr -Joinerrespecially-as-there-was.nn ink- sheriff. There were four candidates in the field and it was hoped to head off trouble, and the candidacy of any body for Member of Assembly was hardly mentioned. The decision ar rived at, was to call the County Com mittee together to consider the mat ter, BEFORE THE CANDIDATES FOR SHERIFF had a chance to start circulating their petitions. And that was done. Nominating petitions couldn't be circulated prior to June 29th, and the committee met on June 28th. The call for the committee meet ing was sent out on June 19th and in that call occurs this statement: \It is extremely important that every mem ber be present to take action on the recommendation of the Executive Committee that the Republican Coun ty Committee recommend candidates for the several oounty offices to be voted for at 'the primary election on September 14th.\ It is therefore ap parent that nine days before the County Committee met, every mem ber of the Committee had advance notice that this matter was to be |T>rought up and acted upon. There certainly could be no basis for a charge of deceit in that. Mr. Joiner had not announced his candidacy at that time -and did not do so until June. 24th, when his announcement appear ed in the County papers, just four days prior td the meeting of the County Committee. He did not ad vise the chairman of the County Com mittee, personally, that he was to be a candidate until within 24 hours of the time set for the committee meet ing. Under the circumstances it would seem that there was no oc casion for any effort to collect prox ies. In the letter calling the meeting of the County Committee this para graph appears: \Every Committee member is urged to make a special effort to be present or DESIGNATE AN ENROLLED REPUBLICAN VO TER AS PROXY.\ That sentence in the notice of the meeting gives the lie to the statement made by the Joiner article with reference to the •endeavor made by the chairman to collect proxies. The facts are that it was the largest and best attended meeting of the Republican County Committee in a dozen years. There are 44 districts in Wyoming County, each district being entitled to two committeemen, making a total of 88. There were present at that meeting 76 committeemen in person, and- by designation 04 committeemen six other enrolled Republicans were present to act for them. Chairman Nash bad five proxies 'only. If all the votes cast by Chairman Nash had been thrown out Mr. Hanley would have received 5.998 votes as against 3.232. for Mh Joiner. Under the cir cumstances the charge of making a great effort to obtain proxies falls to the ground, and all the charges in the article are about on the same plane. One sentence in Mr. Joiner's letter illustrates the whole letter so clearly that it has only to be repeated to show the fallacy of the whole argu ment. His letter says that Mr. Joiner was never given a chance to say whether he was or was not a candi date. What nonsense! The columns of tie Western New Yorker and every other paper in the county have been open to him for months, since his return from Albany. What more chande ,did -he want 7 That- farewell dinner in Albany, the public 'statements that it was his last term and no denial from Joiner, no - statement to ANYBODY until af ter the movement to recommend Han ley had taken shape, and now he,says he never had a chance. In Heaven's name-what did^he want? 1 Such a, palpable effort to throw [-dost-in-the-eves^of—the Republican in an hour. I never saw so many, taxicabs in so limited an area before, nor such an apparently confused mass of people. What, with the passengers them selves (and this is one of the largest boats afloat and booked to capacity) and the thousands who accompany them to the pier, in many instances large groups or delegations with a single individual, there is a state of inevitable confusion everywhere. One wonders how the immense quan tities of baggage, the multifarious details associated with the embarka tion of this seething mass can possi- by be attended to in the brief forty minutes remaining. But the wonder of it all is, such is accomplished. After, of course, the customary in spection of passports, etc, one finally sighs with relief and mops his per spiring forehead as he stands secure ly aboard. It is sound advice, to ar rive at the pier at least two hours early, especially during July, and if sailing on one of the larger boats. (Continued on page 3.)

This will not only give the bank a better working margin, and provide better service to its customers but also shows the interest and confi dence its shareholders £ave in the bank and Arcade. The bank has shown a most en couraging growth and healthy con dition since the present management acquired the stock. Deposits have grown from $311,- 028.61 to $423,606.17. The increase in deposits fairly represents the great improvement in all departments of the bank, and Mr. Andrews, cashier, -and Milo S. Davis, assistant cashier and their assistants have every reason to feel proud of •the showing they have made. 1 - ling when the movement started,that voters of Wyoming County has not (Continued on page 6) MORE STREET LIGHTS More light, that is what the village fathers in Arcade believe in.

To the Editor of the \Herald In the Perry Herald of July 28 an article appeared which, in my judgment, demands an answer be cause it was a mis-statement which whether it was made with malice or in good faith, has definitely injured an honorable and conscientious serv ant, Hon. Webber A. Joiner, Assam* blyman from Wyoming County. X am a Republican in good standing and I believe in party organization, but I hate trickery and deceit just as every good American does, and I ask the privilege of using your col umns to make a statement so that the voters of the*county may vote at the September primary election with full knowledge of the actual facts in this case. I know what the facts are and I am prepared to back up any statement I make here. The Perry Herald, in the article mentioned, declared that Mr. Joiner had stated that he was not a candi date for re-nomination. That state ment was evidently inspired by the opponents of Mr. Joiner and i t is a good illustration of the underhanded methods which were UBed to bring about the endorsement of Mr. Join er's opponent by the Republican County Committee. It is clever be cause it really is a half truth. Mr. Joiner never made any public state ment that he would not be a candi date for re-nomination, but ho did say, in conversation with personal friends, that he would not bo a can didate if the people of the county did not want him. This was thoroughly understood by men who inspired the Herald's article and printed statement was plainly an attempt to deceive tho people of the-county and to justify the unfair practices which led t o tho action of the County Committee. Mr. Hanky's endorsement by the County committee was brought about by deceit. T do not understand how he, a minister of the gospel, can per mit himself to be a party to what is nothing more or less than a political plot to chastise Mr. Joiner because he has courage enough to do his full duty by the county without partisan ship or partiality. I will say, in jus tice, that I do not believe Mr. Hanley was a party to the scheme prior to the meeting of the County Commit tee. But he knows the facts now and has the opportunity to act as his con science dictates. Republican votera will understand that there was some motive back of this attempt to force Mr. Joiner's retirement and before I recite the facts I would like to expose the mo tives that actuated the opponents of Mr. Joiner. There really are two mo tives, the first being an attempt to vindicate Carl Buckland and Sam Hart of Perry for their failure to nominate Mr. Hanley for Congress, and the second being an attempt on the part of Chairman Nash to nlacate Perry to keep' Messrs. \Buckland and Hart friendly to the Republican or ganization, v Mr. Buckland promised to get tho nominat-on for Congress for Mr. Hanley because he dislikes Congress man Sanders. Mr. Hanley la ambit ious to be something more than the minister of a village church; he is talented and aggressive and no one. can blame him for seizing what seem ed to be an opportunity to widen the sphere of his activities.. Having been a resident of Perry only two years and having no property ties In the county, he probably felt that his min istry was not so important that he could not be replaced. So he acquis- ed in the proposal. Mr. Buckland, however found that he could not de liver the Congressional nomination, so he told (Mr. Hanley that he would get him the nomination for the As sembly and that he (Hanley) could serve a couple of terms at N Albany and then move up to Congress. Mr. Joiner, needless to say was not co'n-' suited in this scheme. On the con trary he was deliberately deceived. One of Mr.' Joiner's friends talked with Mr. Buckland on Decoration Day and asked Mr. Buckland then if he (Continued on page 4) Mr. Wilson Barry of Florida is spending his vacation at East Aurora and was the guest of. v Clara Underhill on Sunday.
