were pet 10 nght by that terrible vote last Friday
up stairs. ana when they went away the Legisla
ture was made TO understand that day OF learlu
reckoning was at hand, and that when the crash
came there would not be an opponent OF the char
ser or supporter or the Senate amendments lett to
tell the tale OF the dire destruction. Under the cir
Cnmstances 1t Is not surprising that q few OF the
weak-kneed gentry OF the lower house when they
went home Saturday paid their respects to
The committee In New York and begged to be
considered good men and true, as far as their love
Tor the original charter was concerned, and then
wound up their Interview with the committee %
agents by stating tnat 10 show their contempt for

MORE DELIGHTFUL DILEMMA
BY its friends Just imagine the situation. The
committee wanted the charter passed by the senate
Just AZ 10 was passed by the Assembly. They came
mp IN bold array every once in WHILE While Sem
ate Committee on Cities were in session to strengthen
the hands OF their special wlrepulling delegation,
and to insrucs--thats the word-the committee
what 10 DO, matter what the individual opinions
of It's members might be IS to the ''ncongruities,
OF the charter. The committee got It's back up and
called Tor protection upon the republican Senators
generally. The result was caucus, ana then another
and another caucus from day to day to consider the
work OF the committee, and the upshot OF the whole
thing every body knows already The Seventyites
went to sew York with
BIG FLEA
IN their ear, and the long promised report OF the
special delegation was made public. 1t was
planve cry and Is just now the subject Of
much gossip and discussion among the Senators
who were instrumental in getting those busaboo
amendments tackled to the bill, ana 1t Is this re-
port as much hing else, that has driven many
Of the members to the determination TO kill the
Charter outright. OF course the "friendsn OF the
seventyies who pretend that they cannot
