ton was tabled.
Senate 81, investing in borough gov
ernlng boards the right to grant liquor
licenses, came up for second reading, and
Mr.. Packer offered a resolution making
the act go into effect July 4th. As this
would defeat the object of the bill for
year, Mr.. Bradley opposed the amend
ment. He said that he was a Republi-
can and also a Prohibitionist. The tenn
perance people of the state were looking
at this Legislature with all eyes. He
then went into history of his campaign,
showing that it was the temperance peo-
pie that held the balance of power to
elect him, and they also held the power
throughout the state to cause Republi-
can defeat next fall. He then drew him
self up to his full stature and exclaimed 1:
"God helping me, I'll vote for every tenn
perance measure, though every Republi-
can vote the other way"
Senator Hinchhffe said that as soon as
you brought temperance into politics it
created bad state of affairs, and cited as
an illustration the city of Washington.
1t ought to be out of politics. The only
solution to the question was to grant no
licenses at all, but that would never be,
as liquor would be drunk by those who
wanted it, down to the end of time
Then began series of dilatory mo-
tons started by Mr.. DAILY, who moved to
strike out the enacting clause of the bill,
and were keptpp by Mr.. Adrain, consum-
ing nearly an hour. Every motion was
lost and Mr.. Adrain said finally that
while he was comparatively neutral on
the main question at issue, yet his oppo-
sition was mainly because he thought
that political body was not the proper
one to grant licenses. He believed the
matter should be left with the courts. 1t
came at last to the original amendment,
which was lost. and the bill was then Or
dered to a third reading in its original
shape.
The House took up the adverse report
of the committee on House 139, Mr.. Nc
McEwen's two-cent ferriage bill. In
opposing the report, Mr.. McEwan con.
tended that the ferry companies could
we'll afford to carry passengers for two
cents. Mr.. Flynn, in supporting the re-
port, held that the passage of the bill
would seriously cripple the small ferry
companies running boats between Bristol
and Burlington, and Philadelphia and
Gloucester. Mr.. Thompson argued in ia
vor of the report, and Messrs. Coyle,
Wilson and Erlenkotter against. After a
lengthy debate the report was not con-
CURED In, % to 20.
