THE EVENING WORLD, FRIDAY, JANUARY | RAL “SMOKE SCREEN SEEN IN SWEET DEFENSE OF SOCIALISTS’ BAN (Continued from Second Page.) less sty “My duty to the State and the Nation demanded that before these five w mitted top in the de- liberations of the ate Assombly thelr eligibility and qualifieations to sit should be passed upon by the Assembly. This decision was reached after deep study of the Subject and after sonsultation with men whose adherence to the doctrines of true Amerten cannot be questioned.” WHO WERE THE SPEAKER CONSULTED? The Lusk committee admi that it has no evidence impugn- ing the Americanism of any of the five suspended Assemblymon. The Lusk committee was not con- sulted by Speaker Sweet in ad- vance of his action in expelling the Socialist Assemblymen. That has been omitted by Senator Lusk. No records of the Attorney Gen- eral's office were consulted as a Preliminary to the expulsion of athe five Socialist members. The Attorney General of the State of New York did not know until 10 o'clock in the morning of Wednes- day, Jan. 7, that such action was to be taken. uld be per- third floor of the Capitol Build nefibers were thrown o slature by a lprocess which is a icady familiar to the publ At the time of this action, which has attracted not only Na- tion-wide but world-wide atten- | tion, there were present in Al- bany representatives of the Anti- loon League and lobbyists who socking to raise the street car feres to eight cents.

Semblymen are entitled to the best and most thorough defense |{ of their right to their seats in the Assembly that money, legitimately expended, can enable them to procure The World furthermore believes that there are among its readers many thousonds of good Americans, entirely unsympathetic with the doctrines of Socialism, who yet wil deem it a privilege to register thelr protest against the un-American tion of the Assembly by sending their personal contributions to The World's ‘Repre- sentative Government Fund.’ One dollar will be quite as welcome |] a8 one hundred, for The World hopes that this fund will express the convictions of the community through numbers rather than through amounts. In order to keep perfectly clear the fact that this fund is being raised to defend these five Assemblymien's rights as American citizens and not to support their doctrines as members of the Social- ist Party, The World will accept contributions only from those who specify that they are not members of the Socialist Party. The World takes pleasure in heading the list of contributions with $250. Ail contributions should be addressed "World Repre- \| sentative Government Fund,’ and will be acknowledged in the columns of The World. ianansecinaaiianeaae oman, THE WORLD STARTS FUND TO HELP Insist on Right to Have Specific Ac- palette cusations So as to Prepare * |Princeton’s Authority on Govern.
