ALDAN V, Sept. 13. Governor Sulzer's
personal friend and special graft in
vestigator, James C. Garrison, slept last
ntghl lit a cell of. the Albany county
penitentiary. He was remanded! to that
Institution by the sergeant-at-arms ot
the- state' assembly' for refusing to answer
Questions put to, him by the speaker fol
lowing arrest bn a charge of contempt,
"the charge grew out of his alleged
statement several weeks ago that four
legislators sold their votes on the resolu
tion Impeaching Governor Sulzer.
Plans by the Sulzer faction today wsre
to obtain a writ of habeas corpus from
the supreme court for the release of Gar
rison. .Majority leader Levis said today,
however, that"' such action would be Im
possible, as the assembly had plenary
power to punish for contempt'
The appellate, court so hold in a sim
ilar case several years ago. If the courts
should Mold this view, Garrison might be
kept In 'prison until next January, when
a, .new. legislature convenes. The alleged
dfferiseV is unbailable, it is said.
The arrest of Garrison came aa a climax
to a weary evening spent by tho assem
bly in 'an attempt to round up the
seventy-sjx votes necessary to pass ar
ticles of impeachment against Governor
Sulzer. The body finally adjourned at
2:33 o'clock, this morning, after an Im
passioned plea by Majority Leader Levy
for a better attendance when the as
sembly convened at noon today. Tele
grams were rushed to anti-Suiter as
semblymen, who are out of the city,
Urging them to return here immediately.

to permit a single man already in Al

SULZER LOBES TIip FIRST ROUND

ALBANY Sept 19. Governor Sulzer'a
lawyerslost their first fight In the high
court of Impeachment today when' the
four senators challenged by the defense
were permitted to retain their seats.
" The v6te, which was on the question of
whether, tfce, court should entertain the
Cbaljtnges, was unanimous against such
procedure', The four senators directly
ioncernd-rFrawley. Wagner. Rams
perger arid ' Banner did not vote.
' immediately following the vote of the
court the reading of the long article of
impeachment was begun.
Although Presiding Judge Cullen had

qualifications of the senators for .holding
their seats, he. djd not, take advantage of
this prerogora.tlye. , He .first expressed his
opinion. .that th.9 objections were not well
grounded and then- permitted the entire
sourt to.vdle on the issue,
.In addressing the court Judge Cullen
said that no court had the right to sit

In this,, he said, a court differed from a

The. vote came after a morning of legal
argument between Judges Herrlck and
Parker, representing the defense and the
prosecutloni respectively. Judge Herrlck's
chief argument was that no roan might
sit both, as prosecutor and Judge.
In reply Judge Parker said the mem
bers of the court were here as repre
sentatives of the whole people, that the
people established the court of impeach
ment in the beginning and that none
other than the people had a right to
remove their representatives.
The scene within the court room this
morning was vastly different from that

seats In the gallery were occupied at tho

MOORKEAD VIEWS REJECTED
Attorney General Martin Rules on
Who May Vote.
SECOND TAPERS NOT NECESSARY
Man Who Declares Intent to 11
come Cltlsen. nnd After Seven
Yenm Doen Not TnUe Second
Tapers, Not Barred.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, SeiU. W.-(Speclal.)-The
election commissioner of Douglas county
must permit a man to register and vote
who has made his declaration of Inten
tion to bocome a citizen of the .United
States, even though seven years elapse
without his taking out his naturalization
papers.
Such is the opinion of Attorney General
Martin, after having the proposition put
up to him by County Attorney George A.
Magney ot Douglas county, Election
Commissioner Moorhead having refused
to register voters who hpd not com
pleted their naturalization papers after
seven years.
In his opinion Mr. Martin says:
"The right of suffrage conies from the
state and not from tho federal govern
ment. The United States government Is
given no authority whatever to prescribe
the qualifications ot ovters in the states.
By the fifteenth amendment the states
were prohibited from discriminating
against any citizen ot the United States
In the matter of voting, but the nation
dl dnot pretend, ahd has never pre
tended, to say. who should be the voters
In tho respective states.
Cites Constltnlon.
"In Nebraska, the constitution grants
suffrage to male residents of the follow
ing classes: First, citizens of the' United
States. Second, persona of foreign birth,
who shall have declared their Intention
to become citizens conformably to the
laws of tho United States on the sub
ject of naturalization at least thirty days
prior to an election.
"This grant does not appear In tho
least amblguotls. It purports to grant to
the man of foreign birth, who, conform
ably, to the laws of the United States
on the subject of naturalization, has de
clared his Intention to become a citizen,
the right to -vote, The legislature can
not Impair this right of this class of
voters. As soon as they have, in a
proper court, taken the proper oath, .they
are ovters, under our constitution.
Whether or not they complete -their
naturalization is a matter to which the
constitution of the state of Nebraska ap
parently is indifferent Tho state hoa
delegated to these men the' rjgfyt of -suffrage
upon their taking .out their first
papers
Right to Vote Stays.
:"I take it that no other power but the
state could'deprlve them of that, right of,
suffrage. JThat their papers become obsoj.

charged to be a. deserter from the United
States army tendered his billot on elec-i
tton day, and the Judges of election' rei
fused to receive It onthe ground that he
was a deserter . and was', disfranchised.
The ' Pennsylvania court held that con
gress may deprive a citizen of the oppor
tunity to enjoy a right belonging to him
aa a" citizen of a state,' even the right of
voting, but' it cannot' deprive him of the
right -itself. The court further held:
The power to determine Who shall or
shall not be a voter In a state belongs to
the state Itself, and the constitution of
the United States elves congress no power
to prescribe the qualifications of electors
In tho states.
No Distinction In Classes.
"Citizenship In the nation and suffrage
In the. state are ordinarily. 'held by the
same person, but it is not necessarily so.
The right to vote In the state of Ne
braska Is granted to either a citizen ot
the United States or an alien who nan
taken out his first papers to become a
citizen. There Is no distinction between
these two classes of voters in the consti
tution of the state of Nebraska. The
alien who has taken, out his first papers,
and who under the present law lets seven
years expire without completing his nat
uralization, is not a citizen of the United
States, but If he has resided In the state
of Nebraska the time required under 'the
constitution he is a voter In Nebraska.
and tho federal law, putting a limitation
upon his declaration of intention',N.doe3
not disfranchise him as a voter In tlto
state of Nebraska,
"In my opinion, the election commis
sioner of Douglas county should permit
a man to register and vote who has mado
his declaration of Intention to become a
cltlsen of tho United States, even though
seven years elapse without his taking-out
his second papers."
