GAS LEASE IS DEAD:
PEOPLE WIN THE WAR

United Gas Improvement is the ques-
ton that is now on everyone's lips.
The fight against the gas company
was but q part of a general crusade
started to cleanse Philadelphia of it's
present corruption. The purpose of the
committee of seventy and the committee
of nine is more far-reaohing than mere-
iy to prevent the gas steal"
The resolutions adopted at the mass
meetings last night pledge the voters
on their honor not to give up the fight
against corruption in the municipal
government until the despotic ring is
driven from power.
Mayor May Go Back.
There Is already talk that the ap-
parent victory, however. will reach no
further than the defeat of the gas lease
for the time being. The split between
Mayor Weaver and the organization
was on the one question Of the gas
lease.
Now that the company has voluntar-
lily given Up their fight ii is said the
organization VIII welcome the mayor
back into its ranks again The over
lures looking TO this have already been
begun according to popular report.
If this is true, then the city returns
10 its cid policy unless the FeformeTs
can stir up the people to GUST the ring
in the next election. Nothing will have
been gained except the defeat Of the
gas lease

During the past week, when tbs
weather has been comparatively cool
complaints concerning the garbage col

during the week previous, when the
temperature was high, complaints were

they have run at times as high as thir-
ty-seven a day. and again fallen TO be

was only half won. The councils could
pass the measure over the mayors veto.
The vote on the measure originally in
dicated that it would not be difficult
for the gas company to force the coun-
cilmen to do this. In the select council
only four men had voted against the
steal" out of forty-two members. IN
the common council seven out of eighty
four had taken the side OF the people
Undismayed by the numbers against
them in the councils. the people. headed
by the committee of seventy and the
committee of nine, appointed to look
after their interests, and undaunted by
the fact that ordinarily the eouneilrsen
have ever been the tools of the poIiti-
cal managers, took up the fight to make
the councils do their bidding.
Mayors Active Fight.
The mayor. for whom, after his break
with the ring. failure to defeat the
lease meant almost political death, be-
came the most active fighter in the peo-
pies cause.
Proselyting among the gas council
men has gone on uninterruptedly for
days One by one members Of the coun-
ellis have been won over Yesterday
seven new members former supporters
OF the steal" pledged themselves to
support the veto. Last night two others
fell into line.
One of them. George Edwards, select
councilman, from the Twenty-second
Ward. had been counted on never to de-
sert the ring. The pressure brought to
bear by his constituents was more than
he could resist.
Then Frank G. Grier, common coun-
Gilman from the Fifteenth ward, an
nounced his determination to vote 20
uphold the mayor.
Other Converts.
Just before the announcement was
made by the United States Gas I'm
rrovement Company of its surrender, the
list of the opponents of the ''steaFi had
teen increased by the conversion of two
additional councilmen. They were
james E Walsh. select councilman from
the Thrty-eigbth ward, and Charles a.
Gillingham, common councilman from
the Twenty-siXth ward.
The agitation of the people has borne
fruit. The monster mass meetings last
night when the people expressed their
opinions of the ''gas steal" and the nIen
who favored ii freely, had been a
strong argument in favor of needing
the demands Of the citizens. The four
defections in the ranks OF the coun-
eiimen fayoring the gas company were
the direct result OF the meetings and
of the visits of their constituents to
them last night
