The " 4 T. did not dare to show its
hand in the House as it knew it had
the bill beaten in the Senate and so
did not interfere with the matter. 1t
passed the House with no opposition
from the V. & L and Senator Parker
planted the vote that killed it. Sena-
tor Parker was placed on the ticket by
the v. & L. and was one of its heavy
wood contrac ors.
Something had to he done to hum
bug the people and SO the claim was
| made IT, at the vote WAS cast to save
the State Prison. Many people be-
lieved it at thu time ard the real state !
of affairs did not develop immed
lately. !
