trcucly doubtful
Last wear the Assembly, passed. the local
option bill and II died IN the so. 'te. When
the bill was handed down by tho Senate
clerk to-day senator fully move that
IL be referred Ia the committees Of the whole,
instead 81 to the Committee m Taxation
and Ret renchment. This motion was
carried by a party vote Of - to ~. Senator
SAKE voting with the Democrats against
advancing the bill The Senate will not
60 into the committee Of the whole again
this session and therefore the outlook for
the bill il extremely doubtful.
The minority members OF the Assembly
did their utmost to prevent the bill from
reaching the Senate to-day. Realizing
that there were enough votes in the Assem-
bly, to pass the bill they played for delay
as much a. they possibly could. In this
they were ably assisted 10y A~SSemblymen
Schornrck and Cox lRcpublicansI.
There were many amusing incidents in
connection with the consideration Of the
bill. On one side of the Assembly chamber,
outside Of the railing, were the representa-
tives of he A~nti-Saloon League, which had
lnnn IpIktyinu all winter for the hill On
the other side Of the we're the
brr awe and their representatives. h
have not been at all idle in trying to kill The
bill.
Bitter and passionate speeches were
made. The ministers h had worked
in the interests of the bill were attacked
as lobbyists and scored as having lone most
reprchenSible things, As-emblyman Cox
said he had been intimidated by the minis
tiers of his district in Buffalo,
Assemblyman Hooker tartly answered
Mr.. Cox and said that he also had been in
timiGatei 1, but the intimidation came from
the liquor interests, who had threatened
his political determination II liza didn I
cease his activity in the interests of the
bin.
While he was speaking Assemblyman
Wade had handed him a telegram ad
dressed to Assemblyman Cox and signed
by the pastor of a Buffalo church, in which
the minister said hat 400 voters in his con-
gregation werr with the men who sup
ported the Tully- Wainwright bill.
Assemblyman Wade was also most bitter
In ~denouncing the tactics that had pre-
vailed in support of the bill. He implorcd
Assemblyman Cox to have the minister
indicted by the District Attorney OF Eric
county for sending such q telegram.
And that minister's son Ia on the floor
Of this chamber now working for the bill, "
Mid Mr.. Wade.
The minority members were most dis
orderly. They were under the leadership
Of Assemblyuian La Fetra to-day. Assem-
blyman G. H. Pa liner said that he had to
be in court, but while the vote was being
taken On the bill he was in the Capitol
restaurant. Tho Democrats used oil Of
the obstructive tactics they co uld think
OF to delay the passage OF the bin The
Speakers gavcl was kept banging away
on the block repeatedly, Interruptions,
yelling and, in fact. anything in order TO
interrupt the proceedings were resorted
to, 10 that the Assembly chamber the
greater part Of the day resembled a Donny-
brook fair more than n Legislative body.
These Republicans voted with the Demo.

Flley, Gates, Gregory, Hartman, Hoffman,,
K~rulewitoh, Maher, s. j. Palmer, Rock,

publicans for the bill,
