The caucus was too much for him. In
spite Of his efforts and his strong speech
against the measure, when it came to a
vote in the House, the bill passed. 1t al
so passed the Senate and went to the gov

with the governor The result was a veto
message. Reading never lost hope. He
worked night and day. This morning
he had convinced a majority in the house
Republican caucus that the bill was very
unjust to Hunterdon. When the Senate
learned that Reading had large majority
of the Assemblymen with him to kill the
bill, the Senators decided to allow the bill
to die without taking further action on
