I ran conceive of no more destructive assault Upon the constitutional guarantees of our rights and liberties, or of a more fatal blow at the high traditions of the courts of Justice of our State, than to have the Republican Party deny a nomination to an able, uprlghr and fearless Judge as a punishment for the conscientious and courageous performance of hla plain duty to decide according to bis conscience. If we did so. It would, tn the final analysis, be little short of applying the vicious doctrine of the recall of Judges, which our party has often condemned and repudiated. Other seconding speeches were made hy Arthur E. Sutherland, former Justice of the Supreme Court, and by Senator Swift of Buffalo far the Erie County delegation.

Roll catl followed the speeches and when this closed 1,183 votes had been recorded for Judge Andrews, who was' declared the nominee of the convention. Immediately after today's aeseton of the convention had been opened with prayer. Oeorge W. Aldrldge.

NEWARK FALLS INTO LINE Mayor to Co-operata With Hylan Merchants Here Divided on Feasibility of Mr. Simon's Proposal.

The idea of Buyers' Week to rtfmulate business, and relieve unemployment spread yesterday to other cities, and efforts were made by the National tJirmenl Ketallers' Association to make the movement national in scope. Mayor Archibald, of Newark, called up Franklin Simon, wno presided at the meeting In City Hall on Thursday, for Inform ticn on which he mirht act to bring about a similar rocvement In that city, and Philadelphia merchant also Inquired as to the plans of (he New York Mayor Archibald called a meeting of buslners men for nett Tuesday, to make plans to observe liuyers Week." He also agreed to co-operat( wltn New York business to en. Tiie Mayor announced Utat a definite date for vlie observance of Buyers' Week In Newark would be deci Jed upon at Tuesday's meeting, and that an elaborate- campaign of publicity would bo mapped out under the direction of I'eter J. O'Toolc. director of publicity for the city.

A marked difference of opinion by. came evident yesterday, however, among retailers and manufacturers as to the economic result which might be expected 'from the uoveinent. Some of them agreed with Mr. Simon tliat the ordering of good by retailers for sale during liuyers- Week would create manufacturing activity and help the unemployment situation, while others said they ftlt that the public, hoping for extraordinary bargains In that week, would slow up In buying and that unemployment might be increased rather than relieved. Doabt From a Manufacturer.

The belief that retailers and wholesalers are responsible for the reluctance of the public to buy. and that a special week would do harm ralher than good, was expressed by W. Irving Wolf of the Wolf Company, manufacture- of wo men's undergarments at 33I Fifth Avenue. I If people lie iaid. as I tuink they are sure to.

In view of the pub- llclty gi-en to a liuyers' which will not occur until lection or shortly lifter, that they may buy at gr ally reduced price, they up' ulmr.t cer tain to hold off their purchases until that time. On the other hand, if the retailer sells hi goods now at attractive prices, h' will get rid of his stocks and come into the market to buy at present prices. That will result In order to the manufacturer and really do somethings to relieve the Bernard K. tiimbel. of Ginibel Hroth- er.

was alo of the opinion that It miaht Interfere with buying between now ami Buyers- Week and reult in further uncmploynienl. It Is certain that If tne people get the Idea that they should hold orf until November, when they may purchase goods on a different bafs than at pre- I ent. the effect will not be what wn aesireo. ne aald. If enough of them perity was returning.

In the last few weeks the old aplrit of assurance has returned and our business men and manufacturers look forward expectantly to a revival of activltv." he said.

An extra number on the program waa furnished by Representative Simeon U.

Congressman Fees' had been invited to address the convention bv Senator Calder. lie drew applause by praising the foreign policy of President Harding and Premier Hughes, as he called the Secretary- of State, the great delight of the convention. 1 think Americans must have grown a foot after reading the statement on Russia of the Secretary of State," he said. In Europe they had been flirting with Soviet Russia, although Ihey distrusted her. Kven Great Britain had taken part In this, because of fear that joe i-i government waa undermining her Influence in India.

Kncouraged by this, the Soviet Government de- rluKnuiun irom us only to re- th. that the I nlted States would never recognise a government which did not respect the sanctity of private contract. 1 only a paragraph but It had the v. ui ey maaic the backbone of Luropean governments In their dealings with Soviet Russia "We are not in the league of Nations, but we never were such a factor in th Association of Nations aa we are at this moment. I would not be surprised if under our leadership, the IHaarmament oiuerrm-e in -ovemner Would attain the greatest achievement of thla century and I am sure that tie worii In its hwr of extreme need will not be disappointed in the leadership of America." In times of unemployment lik the present, it does no good to Import antl- novernment sentiment as we have been doing through certain classes of our immigrants." he aald.

Recently a gathering of alien born workmen In Chicago hissed a picture of American marching through France when It was thrown on the screen. I am rtady to vote to deport out of America ar.y and every man and woman wno would I Iss the flag." The convention stood up and cheered at this. There wss more cheering when Mr Fees called attention to the victory this week of Fnlted States Senator Bur-sum of New Mexico In a bye-electlon aa evidence trat the American people are with tbe Republican party now."

Taiadka It Goad Idea. Horac A. Saks, of Saks thought Buyers Week a rood Idea, and did not believe that It would Interfere with-business until that time. Many enthusiastic endorsements of bis plan were received yesterday by Mr. Simon.

He aald that the idea bad already created the optimism which business needed, and that the results were aa satisfactory as he could Lave hoped for. There Is nothing the matter. he said. People bava money, but they have gotten out of the habit of buying. The papers are partly to blame.

They brought this about. liy what they have printed of profiteering a spirit of pea-Mmlem has created. Buyers' Week will increase buying ImmiKllately. I have heard favorably atntut It from some of my customers already. Instead of having a bad effect on business until November he effect will be good, for people will realize the motive behind It and will keep up their normal purchasing to show their appreciation.

I am banking on the good sense of the people and -their desire to cooperate." Mr. Simon was asked If some of the i endorsement of his plan tad not come from men who were more to move goods they have on hand than to produce goods at better prices. That ill happen In any movement," he said. it always conm up. But I Iclieve that rr.ot men are honest, that n.ost business men are honest.

Kven If tfiat happens. It will have a good effect on business, because it will enable sell-i rs to get rid of good and go into the market for more, which in turn will be telt in the factories by demands for increased output. If every rity in the Union will do something the movement will be a success. I am not sure it will be a permanent relief, but this Is a time of tre and needs special treatment." Jesse I.

The present system of Fed eral taxation violates both principles to such an extent aa to be a potent factor In retarding the return of prosperity.

We approve the aid extended to the farmer by the Kmergency Tariff bill, the att for legislation of grain exchanges, the law for the extension of credits to farmers through the War Finance Board and other measures looking to the amelioration of the condition of the basic Industry of farming.

We endorse the favorable attitude of the President toward the funding of the claims of the Government against the railroads and Governments! financial assistance to the railroads. We are strongly In favor of all lawful and feasible aids to the upbuilding of a privately owned American merchant marine, but we do not believe In a Government -owned merchant marine to be operated at a deficit, at the expense of the taxpacr and in comnetl-tlon with our own citizens.

We commend the Administration for the passing of the Budget bill. "We heartily endorse the attitude of President Harding in reducing to the minimum governmental interference with business.
