ment being defeated on a roll call.
The discussion developed opposition
to the general idea of county option.
Aside from these features the de-
feat of Mayor Tom l.. Johnson, OF
Cleveland, in the State central CON
mittees--was still the subject of
comment. This defeat was made I'M
mistakable by the election of Judge
b. +. Mccain, a CARRIER man, for
permanent chairman.
The platform adopted declares,
among other things, for the payment
of the States expenses without call
ing on counties for a levy, each coun-
ty to raise only what it needs for its
W expenses; it advocates the taxa
ton Of public service corporations at
their salable value; it recommends
home rule for cities, towns and vii
lagos, especially as to the public or
private ownership of public utilities;
ii favors the Improvement and reten-
ton of the canals; it calls for legis-
lation making it unlawful for public
officials to accept, or public carriers
to give, free passes; it demands the
election Of United States senators by
direct vote of the people.
'In order to C purity in cleo
tons" it says 1--WE favor the repeal
of all special limitations as to time
within which criminal prosecutions
may be begun for bribery in cleo
tons"
The platform condemns the late
Congress for refusing to pass a law
making it a punishable misdemeanor
for corporations to contribute money
to the campaign funds of political
parties.
Attention is called to the many laws
for the people passed by the recent
general assembly of the State, chief
among which was the 2-cent railroad
fare law.
Tribute is paid to the late Cover
nor Pattison, land adhesion to the
policies he ~inaugurated is urged.
The concluding paragraph of the
declaration of principles is a high
encomium to the personal and politi-
cal virtues of William Jennings Bry-
an, who is called Americas most dis
tinguished private citizen"

Only the forests and lands belong

future agricultural prosperity of the
country, will be reserved. The trans
action will be financed through the
Peasants bank. Little cash will be
required. The landlords and other
sellers will be given marketable land

peasant purchasers in installment
notes designed to meet the interest

The Emperor will not give the land
of the imperial family as a free gift,
but like other landlords he will &C

that no Parliament will ever dare to
repeal this temporary law. Nearly

moved.
This in substance is the Govern

VIII Revise Rules Through Conn.,
nittee Reporting Monday

The committee on revision of coun-
day, expects to be prepared to report
by Monday morning and the new
rules, it is stated, will contain fea-
lures which will shut off doc"
Houghton when they are enforced by
the president.
While no member of the council will
admit it as fact it is we'll known
that the rules are being revised for
no other purpose than to make Hough-
ton keep his seat when he insists, as
is frequently the case, in making long,
rambling speeches to no intent or pur-
pose other than to impress some of
his constituents who may be present
in the lobby.
Scarcely meeting of the council
passes in which Houghton does not
feel called upon to take the floor for
or against some motion, and making
speeches that on account of their
length not infrequently keeps the coun-
Gil sitting long after it might have
adjourned otherwise.
AS none of Houghton's motions ever
receives a second and as his amend
ments are unheeded this is considered
lost time.
1t is evident however, that the coun-
Gil is not thoroughly familiar with its
own rules, under which it is supposed
to have been operating for more than
a year. for there are three provisions
in the old rules that If enforced by
the chair would Immediately shut off
debate and compel Houghton to sit
down. These are:
Rule XI-The previous question be-
| ing moved and seconded shall preclude
all further debate until it has been de-
cided.
Rule XIV-No person shall speak
more than twice to the same question
without leave of the council; nor more
than once until every member choos-
ing to speak shall have spoken.
Rule XIX-A member called to Or
der shall Immediately sit down unless
permitted to explain; and the council,
| If appealed to, shall decide on the
case, but without debate, If there be
no appeal the decision of the chair
shall be final.

been interviewed on the question by
representatives of The Herald and not

ject. Some differ in regard to what
the tunnel should be. A few persons
object to the Los Angeles-Pacifc Rail-
