enough Republican support to assure
the defeat Of any rule designed to
ram the Hamilton bill for the crea.

throat of the house. Speaker Cannon
realizes that his boast is not altogeth-
er an idle one and in order to give
him an opportunity to reason" with
the insurgents, report of the bill to
the house has been postponed for the
present. The gambling interests Of the
territories beng supposed to be be-
hind some of the insurgents, bi

Wade Ellis. the writer OF the present
municipal code, and Mayor Tom l..

Merit system for all municipal en-
ployes. -
Council to remain as present consti-
tuted with ward and at large members,
the committee Of mayors having at
first thought that the at large mein-
bers should be abolished.
johnson yielded to the demand for
the city to have the right to consoii-
date the police and fire Departments
under one head.
Ellis is willing to yfe.d on the pres
ent board plan and allow the mayor TO
appoint the directors Of public service
and safety, providing the merit system
is extended to all departments, but
he and Mayer Tom still differ on the
make up of the dii ectorate of these de-
partments. Johnson wants only one
director for each department, and
