In Minnesota
Cheers Friends
General's Showing Is Held
to Demonstrate That
He Has Popular Support
to Win in the Election
Lowden Backers Gloomy
Fact That Illinois Governor
Ran Fourth Is Consid?
ered Blow to Candidacy
By Carter Field
From Tfi<? Tribune's W a* hint, ton Burea**
WASHINGTON, March 16. -Poli?
tic.ans in Washington were busy
to-day analyzing the 'results of the
primary election in Minnesota yester?
day. The outstanding feature, as seen
here, is the poor showing made by
Governor Lowden of Illinois. Some
think the fact that he was able to run
o-ly a bad fourth in the state where
he was born spells the beginning of
t'10 end of the Lowden candidacy.
General Wood was expected to win in
"Minnesota. His victory impresses the
politicians here chiefly because of the
fight within the party in the Gopher
S ate, Wood supporters are acclaim
ing the Minnesota result as showing
' ; t the general has the real popular
support that is needed to win at the
polls in the fall against any candidate
the Democrats may name.
Johnson Followers Chagrined
While Senator Johnson's strong
showing may be a surprise to his op?
ponents, it is not to his friends. In
fact, the Johnson camp at the capital
was disappointed because the Caiifor
nian did not ?rarry more counties.
Governor Lowden's friends in Con?
gress are much perturbed over his
f:?;iure to pet any where near Wood.
With the aid of the Minneapolis fac
? on of the state machine they had
hoped that their candidate would make
a trong showing.
There is a great deal of interest in
the vote for Iloovey. Few, however,
t ke it to mean til t he may be a
Jtactor in the Republican convention.
The overwhelming progressive vote ?
the Wood, Johnson and Hoover vote
is i-egarded here as progressive?is ex?
pected to serve as a warning to the

Republican candidate by a few men

morning on the last day of the con
ve tion, as suggested recently by
Harry M. Daugherty, manager for Sen?
ator Warren G. Harding, of Ohio.
South Dakota Result Awaited
Interest here now turns to South
Dakota, where the contest la reported
to be mainly between Wood and Low
den. The poor showing made by Low
den in Minnesota, it is believed, will
i have a decided effect on the results
in South Dakota. The experts here
are predicting that Lowden will fare
little better in South Dakota than he
did in Minnesota.
The best information is that Wood
will carry South Dakota, with Johnson
the runner-up. Wood is in the state
now making a vigorous campaign. Ho
is being received with ovations every?
where.
After South Dakota comes Michigan.
The Wood people are confident that
if they can beat Lowden in South
Dakota and Michigan he will be elimi?
nated from the race. Late reports
from Michigan are satisfactory from
the Wood viewpoint. Senator Johnson
has been campaigning there, but tho
general will go back next week. A
hot fight is promised for the last week
of the campaign, which ends in the
primary April 6.

Conventions To-day Will Deter?

Have Solid Delegation of 24
ST. PAUL, Minn., March 16.?
Whether Minnesota's delegation of
twenty-foui* to \ie national conven?
tion will be solid for Major General
Leonard Wood will be determined at
the county conventions to-morrow in
Minneapolis and St. Paul, Republican
leaders in the twin cities said to-night.
Supporters of Senator Hiram W. John?
son claim control in both cities.
There are ten Congressional districts
in Minnesota. Each district chooses
two delegates to the national conven?
tion and the state convention selects
four delegates-at-large. The county
conventions will be held to-morrow,
the district conventions will be Fri?
day and the state convention will he
held in St. Paul Saturday.
In the seven districts outside of St.
? Paul and Minneapolis, the Wood
j forces scored a conceded victory at.
! the preferential primary yesterday. At,
; least eighty out of the eighty-six coun
I ties went to Wood. In the 6th ami
| 10th districts, which include Henne
pin County (Minneapolis), supporter,
of Senator Johnson assert their can?
didate has the lead, and Wood man
lasers admitted to-night that Johnson
received the indorsement in a majority
of the precincts in Ramsey County
(St. Paul), but.the Wood men declare
they huve carried the precincts sendine*
the largest number of delegates to? the
county convention, and that, therefore,
they will have a majority at that con?
vention.
"Popular vote" figures firom the state
at large have been generally ignored
by political leader?. Each county com?
mittee was depended upon to provide
ballots and much confusion was re?
ported. In some precincts there was
no vote cast; other precinct booth.
were not opened; in some polling
places there were Wood ballots but
non. for Johnson, while in other pre?
cincts the name of Governor Lowden
of Illinois was om/tted. In a half dozen
counties, where supporters of Herbert
Hoover were active, stickers were pro?
vided to attach Hoover's name. As a
consequence managers of the Lowden
and Johnson campaigns to-night made
] claims only for the Ramsey and Hen
| nor in County delegations.
?n the face of erratic state-wide re
I turns the popular vote went to Wood,
with Johnson second and Hoover and
Lowden trailing.

Five Socialists
Give 8 Reasons
Against Ouster
Defense, in 120-Page Brief,
Denies Party Has Secret
Ends and Challenges
Authority of Assembly
Prosecution Files To-day
Cuvillier Warns Sweet of
the Danger in 'Straddling'
on 'Wet' and 'Dry' Issue
From a Btaff Correspondent
ALBANY, March 16.?Morris Hillquit,
Seymour Stedman and other members
of counsel for the five ousted Socialist
Assemblymen filed their brief to-day
with the Assembly Judiciary Commit?
tee. The brief is 120 pages in length.
The first ninety-five pages deal with
evidence and cite eight propositions
deduced therefrom by counsel for the
defense. The remainder enlarges upon
the contention of the Socialists that the
Judiciary Committee and the Assembly
are without jurisdiction except to test
the qualifications of ousted men.
The eight propositions are:
1. That the control of the Socialist
party over its members elected to
public office, far from being im?
proper, is a method of fulfilling its
responsibility as a political party
under our system of government.
2. That the Socialist party has no
secret ends; that it has no secrets;
that it has no mechanism for secrecy.
Sympathy With Russia
S. That the revolution which so?
cialism proposes is neither subver?
sion of order nor a destruction of
government.
4. That it peeks to accomplish its
ends, not by forced or unlawful
means, but through the will of a
convinced majority.
5. That it sympathizes with the
oforts of the Russian people to
maintain their government, but that
it does not advocate the introduction
of a similar government in the
United States.
6. That international socialism,
both in theory and practice, is con
eistent with the duties of national
citizenship and the ideal of patriot?
ism.
7. That the Socialist party during
the war was true to its conception
of the welfare of the American
people.
8. That the Assemblymen took their
oaths of office in good faith and are
under no obligation inconsistent
with their fulfillment.
To-morrow Attorney General Charle
D. Newton and his associates in th
prosecution will file their brief, lm
mediately thereafter, Assemblymai
Louis M. Martin, chairman of the coro
I mittee, will ask that the committee b
| excused from further attendance at th
I daily Assembly sessions in order tha
! the members of the committee ma
I devote their entire time to digestin,
I the evidence.
? Will Sit in "Seclusion"
' The committee, Chairman Martl
announced, would sit in some seclude
suite of rooms in a hotel "far from th
Capitol so as not to be disturbed."
Chairman Martin expects that th
committee will be able to report bac
its findings to the Assembly not late
? than Monday or Tuesday of next weel
| It is doubtful, however, if a final vei
I diet will be reached before early i
'April.
Meanwhile Speaker Sweet, who rlaim
to have at least eighty-two votes t
expel all five Socialists, regardless c
! what, the committee reports, is threai
I ened with a loss of some of thes
I votes because of his straddling in th
i "wet" and "dry" fight.
"I want it to be known," saij Ai
' Eeroblyman Louis A. Cuvillier, one (
the Tammany members of the Judicial
Committee and hitherto one of Speakc
Sweet's most ardent advocates, thi
Speaker Sweet will lose many votes 1
oust tho Socialists if he attcmots or
double-crossing of the vast majoril
who want to have this state enact
liberal law interpreting the Eighteen!
Amendment. And I am going to ca
on him to-morrow to inform him <
this."
When Speaker Sweet heard of A
, semblyman Cuvillier'- threat he sai<
"This is a question of Americnnisi
and I am not going to be a party
I any trading of votes on this que
! tion."
The brief of the Socialists said th
; the proceedings was one "for whic
! there is neither precedent nor e
cuse." It continues:
"To unseat these Socialists will n
prevent return to the normal cone
1 tion of an actual free and democrat
republic, enduring political differenc
: and trusting the common sense of tl
mass of its people, hut it will leave ?
ugly stain on our democracy."
Invisible Empire "Humbug"
At the outset the brief called atte
tion to the appointment of the speci
committee of the Bar Association
npoear before the Assembly or the J
diciary Committee to take such action
as may, in its judgment, ba necessary
to safeguard and protect the principles
of representative government involved
In tho proceedings. It recounted how
this committeo was denied the privi?
lege of appearing before the Judiciary
Committee.
"But before withdrawing," continued
the brief, "the Bar Association com?
mittee, through its chairman, ? Mr.
Hughes, made the following recom?
mendations:
" 'That the Judiciary Committee at
once report to tho Assembly that there
is no question properly before the Ju?
diciary Committeo of any disqualifica?
tion on the part of thcae members
that no charges against these members
of any constitutional disqualification,
or of any misconduct in office or of
any violation of law on their part have
been properly made; that thememberB
under suspension should be at once re?
stored to the privileges of their seats;
that if it be desired to present any
charges against them of any violation
of law, such charges should be prop?
erly formulated, and that until such
charges, properly laid, have been estab?
lished by proof, after due opportunity
to be heard, these members shall en?
joy all the privileges of their seats in
recognition of their own rights ^nd
of the rights of their constituents."
The brief, after summarizing tne
testimony atiduccd by the prosecution,
pointed out that the only Bhred of
evidence brought out against any one
of tho five ousted men personally was
against Assemblyman August Claes
sens, who was charged with having in?
troduced "affirmative legislation of an
offensive character."

City Loses Point
In Fight Against
2-Cent Transfers
Plan for Review of Case by
Appellate Division Is Set
Back by Justice Green
baum; Ruling Is Upheld
Mayor Hylan's plan to have tho
courts review the action of the Public
Service Commission in granting per?
mission to the New York Railways
Company to charge two cents for
transfers wa3 set back yesterday when
Justice Greenbaum, of the Supreme
Court, quashed a writ of certiorari
obtained by Corporation Counsel Burr.
The just'fe held that the interests of
the city were in no way impaired by
the order of the commission, which
gave the railway permission to charg?;
for transfers beginning July 15 last
until July 7 next. The city obtained
a writ so that the Appellate Division
might review nil the testimony taken
by the commission in the proceeding
held for tho purpose of determining
the transfer charge matter. The case,
will not be carried to the higher court
now unless there is a reversal of Jus?
tice Greenbaum's decision.
The Public Service Commission con?
tended that the city was not aggrieved
by the two-cent transfer order, while
the Corporation Counsel insisted that
it constituted a violation of the terms
of the various franchises previously
granted by the city, which required the
giving of free transfers at various
points on the lines of the company.
It was conceded that fourteen of such
points come within the protection of
tho franchises, while others were dis?
puted. Justice Greenbaum held that
even on the lowest estimate the cost
of operating the lines would be more
than would afford a reasonable average
return on the value of the property
actually used in the public service.
The court also pointed out the neces?
sity of putting aside for contingenc es
any surplus from the income which is
required by law.
Justice Greenbaum expressed the
opinion (hat it was not unreasonable
for the Public Service Commission to
refuse to delay the carrying out of its
order at the request of the city.
