budirtt It may limit the eligibility list
for ho.i'1.1 of Suite departments to be
appointed by the Coventor, but It will
(cute a higher type of Staie officials.
"We seek to Introduce forethought
In considering the State's finances tsich
jear and we confer no power upon the
Governor tli.it he has not now, except
that wo transfer his veto ovcr to the
brcinnlni; Instead of the end of the
ptr'ornruncn of making appropriations.
The (lovcnior Is compelled to lay his
cards 011 the table and to submit his
p'arw to the scrutiny of the legisla
ture in advance and the only thing we
take from the Legislature Is the making
of budget, thus doing niyny with
'ioj rolling' and legislative graft. Our
desire is not to destroy but to create
the dignity nnd power of the Legisla
ture." M1011I1I lie Amended.
'The plan of the finance committee,"
returned Mr. Smith, "simply constitu-
t.onallzes the present methods of
framing the annual budget, except the
ln.tial step Is transferred from the Leg
islature to the Coventor. This bill
ihould he Hmciuled to require a two
third ote In each house upon all ap
plications for private and local purposes,

declared theie had not been the log roll
Inc and plundering of the people in the

flnaniH (oiumlttee plan would have the
penpl,. believe.
'Thl plan dees not go far enough,"
declared Senator Wagner. "The In
crc'ife in Statu expenses has not been
due to the system, but to the fact that
the pi ople have ordered the good roads,
canals, l'ali.sades I'ark and other Im
provements. The Legislature has done
will, and Its power khould not be cur
tailed. "I think the bill should be amended
be pioMiline that the Governor should be
mpiiied to attend nnd answer questions
in ilthrr house of the Legislature on
the request of one-third of the members.
Tt should also be provided that the Gov
ernor should go on record fifteen days
nfter January 1 as to what private and
Irwal and construction and Improvement
nppluatloiin he favors, so ns to leave
nothing for the Governor and the Legis

1 sKor the most part recent despatches

Port au Prince the streets are being
placarded with messages that the Amer
ican occupation Is but a scheme to take
from llnytl control vf Mole St. Nlcho

lonj; been desired by Germany 11ml other
European Powers.
According to Admiral Caperton the
j parties pillaging ate rebels, who say that
"r. 11000, metr rormcr lender, has de
serted them. Itouo called otr his people
to disarm and has himself promised to
accept the result of the election. It li
said that these roving bands will not
disarm unless compelled by a superior
force. Admiral Caperton Is understood
not to be prepared nt present to send

some months ngo the Government arbi
trarily withdrew Its funds from the In

of which Stanley M. Isaacs Is chairman.
The committee tells Mr. Hoot It lias
noted with approval "the signs manifest
in your recent utterances that you are
commencing to reallre the necessity of
complying with the demand of the peoplo
for liberal nnd progressive reforms."
The letter goes on :
"The newspapers of August .1 re
ported an address to the Constitutional
Conventlonmade by Mr. llarnes. which
under the hypocritical gulso of liber
allxlng the election laws, really attempts
to destroy all that protection which has
been gained so gradually and so labor
iously. Mr. llarnes desires to prevent
the Legislature from In any way regu
lating the election of the party commit
tees, the method of nomination for pub
lic offices by political parties nnd their
i rules of procedure. He apparently even
ilounts tne nilvisarilllty or an official
ballot, as he speaks of 'an official bal
lot If any.'
"You, Mr. Hoot, have figured so long
and so prominently In the arena of
politics that you must be fully familiar
with the days when the law failed to
regulate political primaries and to pro
tect the voters thereat. You must rea
lize that Mr. Barnes's proposition means
11 return to snap conventions, irregular
caucuses and the complete control of
party machinery by Irresponsible forces.
"Accordingly, we would ask that you
use your great Influence In the Consti
tutional Convention to prevent the pas
sago of any constitutional amendment
that will deprive the Legislature of the
State of New York ot the power to con
trol party machinery and party govern
ment, and to furtrler such proposed
amendments as shall direct the legisla
ture tu continue the enactment of laws
providing for the direct nomination of
public officers.
"We take this opportunity also of re
minding you that the peopiu of this
State will never be satisfied with the
alleged home rule measure recently re
ported out of committee. Their demand
Is for genuine home rule, not for any
feeble and obscure Imitation."
SPURS G. 0. P. LEADERS.
Young; Men's G'luh Wnnte Pledges
Redeemed In Constitution.
A pamphlet, entitled "A Reminder to
the Republican Members of the Consti
tutional Convention," was sent out yes
terday by the Young Men's Republican
Club of New York, of which Robert C.
McMnrsh is president. It is In effect
a warning that If the majority delegates
do not redeem their party pledges for
constitutional reform the public will hold
the party resimnslble.
"The Republicans," says the pamphlet,
"Include the majority of the lenders In
the convention. It would be a sham to
pretend that they were elected on a
non-partisan basis. The responsibility
is a party responsibility of the highest
character."
The Young Republicans mention six
specific matters demanding Improve
ment at tho bands of the convention.
They are : ( 1 ) More consistent and re
sponsible executive policy; (2) Legisla
tures that give morn attention to Im
portant questions and less to local, spe
cial and trivial oonccrns : (3) surer und
'quicker administration of Justice; (I)
I businesslike management of finances. In
cluding taxation and appropriations ,
1(5) home rule for cities, and Incident
ally, (6) freedom to develop the most
I effective method of selecting elective of-
I f cers.
I "In our Judgment the citizens of New
I York will not long be satisfied with any
thing hut a bona fide compliance with
these demands," the pamphlet says.

The Jewel of Consistency
The time can be measured in days since the
myopic prophets among the financial writers of the
daily press advised us that the turn in thr tide of
American business would be marked by the activi
ties of the great manufacturing interests of this
country, resulting from the pressing needs of foreign
nations at war.
Now, before the sound of their voices has died
away, the investing public, impressed by the weight
and force of the excellent -arguments set forth,
ready, able and willing to purchase the securities so
strongly recommended, are implored by the same
writers to let them alone.
The subject is admittedly somewhat outside
the province of the Harriman National Bank, but
we feel it a duty to many of our customers to speak
this word. Manufacturers and dealers who are
enjoying the benefit of war orders, or domestic
orders, requiring additional banking facilities, will
be welcome here and ca'ed for financially, agreeably
to their responsibility and the'.r balances, on modern
banking lines.

A NEW
EIGHT CYLINDER
CADILLAC
The One Proven C
of Up-to-Date
ar
Design
The up-to-date motor car is known by its V-Type Motor.
This super-efficient design was first adopted in America in the Type 51 Eight
Cylinder Cadillac.
Thirteen thousand of these cars arc being used by thirteen thousand highly
satisfied owners.
This is a record for a high grade car that is unequalled.
Several other makers have copied the principle of the V-Type Motor in new
models recently announced, and the rest, no doubt, will follow.
It will be copied again next year,
But cannot be equalled this year
While other makers are just adopting the V-Type Motor, that the Cadillac
introduced a year ago, we are delivering to customers a new Eight Cylinder Cadillac
which incorporates all the experience gained from the manufacture and operation of
13,000 cars.
Thus the Cadillac is again a full year ahead of every other make.
Its improved V-Type Motor will again be copied in other cars appearing a year
hence, but it cannot be equalled this season.
The Cadillac is at least twelve months-13,000 cars-in advance of any
competitor.
Cadillac Type 53
The new Eight Cylinder Cadillac, known as
Model 53, is even a better car than you would
expect from this leadership, and the enviable
reputation of its makers.
In comparison with its highly successful prede
cessor the new model is more refined and im
proved. It has added qualities, in chassis and
body, ease of handling and comfort, power, flex
ibility and speed, which are summed up in the
word's super-efliciency and super-luxuriousness.
One of the strongest features of the new Eight
Cylinder Cadillac is that of accessibility;
another the system of forced feed lubrication,
which has proven so successful in the 13,000
Eight Cylinder Cadillacs now giving such ex
cellent satisfaction in private service.
Not the V-Type Alone
It is not the V-Type Motor alone, but the
Cadillac Eight Cylinder V-Type Motor, built into
a Cadillac Chassis, according to Cadillac ideals,
and by Cadillac mechanics, that has proven so
successful.
During the years' that Cadillac engineers ex
perimented with and tested the V-Type Motor
various multiples of cylinders were tried out,
and the "eight" proved the best.
The results obtained in laboratory and test
cars have been substantiated by the 13.000 cars
in private use.
Therefore the improved Cadillac V-Type Mo
tor has eight cylinders, like its predecessor. The
practical advantage . ot a greater number of
cylinders has not been proved
