—— Foes in Assembly Plan Legis tion to Wipe Out Entire | Political Organization. ISURE OF OUSTING FIVE | “Prosecution” Completes Casé | and Accused Will Each Take Stand in Defense. aE Sa | By Joseph S. Jordan. Special Staff Correspondent of The} Evening World.) ALBANY, N. Y., Feb, 6.—Most rad- | foal meusures are being prepared as | & result of the Assembly inquiry on| the fitness of the suspe f ists to take Hieir seat House, which have for their object nothing lees than the wiping out of the Socialists as a political party in the State of New York. j The opposition of Lieut, Col, Theo- | dore Roosevelt aguinst the unseating of the suspended five will cut little figure in the present temper of the| Assembly majority. The toboggan is | ready for them, and seats in the| down-hill wagon are the only us tat are going to be handed to them. in the Lower Speaker Sweet has a firmer grip|with similar parties of any other | than ever on the lines of the Assem-|country, and it has been proved to biy, and avhen he cracks the whip the; , Wheel horses will start crowding tho| too willing leaders, It will be a strong pull if not a long’ pull that will start Di the toboggan, unmindful of what ac- tion Gov.

Rerbert Parsons and Ogden Mills ‘the national end of the Republican Party, and Samuel Koenig, Chairman of the County Committee, see the danger of the issue, and it is with; them and others that Col. Roosevelt| will confer between this and the meeting again of the Judiciary Com- mittee on next Tuesday morning. But; ‘according to the claims made here for the Sweet machine, every Republican je:der north of the Bronx» says: “thumbs down’ for the suspended five. sd This is so even so far as Georke W. Aldridge, Republican leader of Roch- ester, is concerned, and Mr. Aldridge avs i wR | PARTY FROM BALLOT READY’ | wien the Legislature first convened |ers and Jawmckers are now trying to | pension bone” is no longer a secret. |The committee had to make some | showing for the enormous expense to | 4s the gentleman to whom Majority Leader Simon L. Adler doffs his hat, and from whom he takes his orders. { Mr: Adler held aloof while nearly the entire up-State was solid against the eating of the suspended five. The methods savored too much of the old ‘and new practices of Russia, and the precedent established by Speaker Sweet was sure to have a “come- back.” So, for a time Mr. Aldridge’s man, Majority Leader Adler, was having a bad inning with the boss, but that the boss has been made “to see the light” ‘was evidenced to-day when Mr. Adler undertook to show young Col. Roosevelt the error of his ways and bring him to the belief that the testi- mony against the Socialists was real evidence. | * Many of the old members argued ‘with the son of the former President on similar lines before he left for New York to attend a conference which has for its purpose the stab- | ilizing of the party; to patch, if possible, the split among the factions before the hustings of next Novem- ber and save the face of the party in the present situation, But the Col- | onel met all the advances with the samo argument, which was that the evidence was not convincing. ACCUSED TO TESTIFY IN OWN) DEFENSE. The case of the State is practically | in, Counsel stated yesterday, when | the committee was about to adjourn, that they had to receive the deposi- tion of John BE. Harris, editor of the Milwaukee Journal, and there were @ few bits of evidence they had to offer, but that they would be through by Tuesday afternoon when the deffnse could go ahead. The defense will go ahead, and Attorney Stedman said that each of fhe suspended five would take the |sembly to read the letter to the Ju |was as jletter and he re | Shay in which he stand and testify in his own behalf, He will answer the charges : him a in the trial. Mr the defense would require about a week, but it might take longer . they had to go into the Russian end of the case, it having been charged that the ist Party here is @ part of the Intert which takes its orders from Trotsky and dman said that Lenine Two things m. pop up in the As- sembly on Monday night. Col. Roo: It may introduce a motion to discharge th Judic from further duties in the Socialist inquiry, although there will be plenty of Republican members to beg of him not to make a blunder “at the outset of his political career.” But the Col- ool will be the best judge of his own acts, his friends assert, and will be guided by his ser, of conscience and fair play Monday night too may witness the introduction of the bills in both Houses for the shelving of the So- cialist Party in th political niche.

Incidentally, it was asserted that two more Demo- crats had gone over to the Sweet ma- chine to keep the unseated Socialists out of their seats.
