Anderson Must
Explain Attack
On Legislators
CwiMnu?4 from ptf? an?
investigation of the Anti-Saloon League
c?lled fpr in a previous Cuvillier reso?
lution.
Gillett Urges Resolution
Chairman JMartin said that under the
rules of the House and provisions of
the resolution, Anderson will be asked
to expiai" the statements the resolution
charges him with making. The com?
mittee will then report to the Assembly
whether it considers that these state?
ments have brought the House into op?
probrium in the oyes of the public. If
it reports that they have Anderson will
be called before the bar of the Assem?
bly for punishment. He will be given
M opportunity to apologize first, how?
ever.
Chairman Martin said that this was
the same procedure it was attempted
te carry out in the case of James Gar?
rison, ? newspaper man, whom the As?
sembly sent to jail during the Sulzer
trial until he apologized for saying the
members of the Assembly were dis?
honest.
Colonel Gillett, in speaking for the
adoption of the resolution, said that it
should be adopted if the Assembly were
to preserve its existence and vindicate
its dignity, holding that if such attacks
were let go unpunished it would be only
.short timo before ''well organized mi?
norities would control the Legislature."
" ?This paid lobbyist," said Colonel
Gillett, "pretends to represent the
churches o? the state. He does not
represent the churches in your county,
for 1 have taken the trouble to inquire.
H?-* has not only maliciously and falsely
libeled me, but he has libeled the As?
sembly.
"How long would you endure this
abuse from organized labor or capital?
WbT, if it lasted one-tenth of the
time that this malicious propaganda
of this man has lasted you would have
r.ad the authors of the abus? haled
before the b3r of the House and forced
*.o apologize or sent to jail."
Ht- charae'erized tne attack on him?
self and Cuvillier, who are the leading:
.roponeni. of a light wine and beer
bill in the lower house, as vicious :<?*d
unfounded. He declared that what
Andersen was doing was tantamount
to bribery.
Anderson Pc6ant
"I don't mind a man fighting who
fights me fair," said Colonel Gillett.
"But when he resorts to falsehood
and chicanery and trickery it is time
that be be disciplined."
\* rson." he continued, "doe. not
know low to ligbl fair." Then he
'" ?
added, while the House applauded him :
"I will invite the Anti-Saloon League
to come into my county again next
fall and I will beat it won? than I
beat it last fall."
After the action of the Assembly,
Anderson declared defiantly:
"If anybody can show tha,t I have
made any untrue or unjust statement
it will not require any summary action
on the part of the Assembly to secure
a retraction from me. But as respecta
things I have said which are true, I
shall stand by them until this ques?
tion ceases to be an issue, and this
action will not, any more than a threat
of an investigation, keep me from tell?
ing the public the truth about the pub?
lic attitude and action of members of
the Assembly on a public question.
"This is no pink tea or parlor game
for points and the place for political
j sensitive plants is in a hothouse and
: not on the beer side of the Assembly
of New York during an effort to nul?
lify national prohibition.
"No matter what the Legislature
says or does, the people can be trusted
to get the facts and to stand by the
members who always stood for moral
principle on this issue, and they can
; likewise be trusted to attend to the
| others."
When Cuvillier first offered his reso
? lution, Majority Leader Adler tried to
| kill it by moving to refer it to the
Judiciary Committee. This motion was
defeated by a vote of 71 to fi8.
Resolution Quotes Anderson
The original resolution, as intro
| duced by Mr. Cuvillier, referred to the
quotation from a speech said to have
; been delivered by Mr. Anderson in
, Buffalo, in which he charged that cer
! tain service men in the Legislature
j were "brewery tools."
The resolution also cited several
other alleged quotations from state?
ments and addresses of the superin?
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League. In
these he is said to havo charged that
"Mr. William Barnes, pro-brewery
boss," was behind Speaker Sweet and
Senate Leader Walters, "as well as
behind Senator Wadsworth, the elc
! phantinc volunteer defender of the Con
, stitution, so long as the Constitution
defended booze."
It then quoted Mr. Anderson as say?
ing in an article in "The Harlem Home
t News": "Mr. Cuvillier, the Tammany
! spokesman for a Republican Legisla
i ture, is assailing prohibition and the
' agency of the churches that promoted
it. Probably the only reason he did
not introduce a bill for galvanizing
iron roosts for belfry bats is because
. it is against the law for an Assembly?
man to profit personally from any leg?
islation introduced by himself."
It also quoted him as saying in f
letter to Colonel Ransom H. ?illett:
"There is something wrong with eithei
the head or the heart of a man whe
fought the imperial German govern
ment in France to establish the pol?tica
freedom of the world and then comes
homo to help the German brewer? to
regain control of American polities."
After citing the provision of the
legislative law which gives the Assem?
bly the power "to bring before it and
punish a person for publishing any
falso and malicious report of the pro?
ceedings of the House or of the conduct
of a member in his legislative capacity,"
the resolution concluded with the de?
mand that Mr. Anderson be brought |
before the bar of the House, and that
if he did not deny the statement at?
tributed to him then he be brought be?
fore the Judiciary Committee:
"There to be confrbnted by said
evidence as aforesaid and be given a
chance either in person or by counsel
to affirm or deny the charges aforesaid
as to his utterances and publications,
and that the said Judiciary Committee
report to the House forthwith the re?
sult of its findings."
Anne Morgan Urges
Credits to Aid France
Returning From Southern TWr,
She Asserts People Want
Treaty With Reservations
People throughout the United States,
and particularly in the South, are
eager for an early signing of the peace
treaty with reservations, according to
Miss Anne Morgan, chairman of the
executive board of the American Com?
mittee for Davastated France, who just
has returned from a long tour of South?
ern states, and who, with Mrs. A. M.
Dike, commissioner for France of that
organization, yesterday told of her
travels.
"France," Miss Morgan said, "?3 the
country that needs financial aid most.
Long time credits by individual con?
cerns should be granted. The French
deserve it."
Mrs. Dike, who has spent three years
in rehabilitation work in the wrecked
areas of France, declared that effective
work was being carried on there by the
organization which she represents, and
said the number of workers had
greatly increased since tho war ended
"All that France needs," she said, "if
a push by Americans, and it will do the
rest. The morale of the French ncvei
was better."
She told of hundreds of individua'
cases of want that had been reliever
by the American committee, and saic
! that if the people of the United State;
', could see the field for work over there
I they would bo determined to do every
: thing within their power to assist.
Both agreed the French could no
! understand why the United State?
? after entering the war and doing sucl
; a great part in helping to win it, hat
; failed to agree upon the peace treaty.
The organization is attempting t<
I raise $2,000,000 for use in furtherinj
i the work of rebuilding and r?habilit?t
; ing the war wrecked sections of France
and Miss Morgan said that the pros
? pects were bright for its completion.
