conducted quietly, with a view of lining up the
opposition to the bill, and it is said that ii has

jority Of the Republicans are opposed to the
measure. or at least that they would prefer 10
defer voting on IL until after the coming elec-
Iion Representative Gardner has called a eau
Gus TO consider this subject and demand rule,
