There was scarcely anything said about the matter until the fall election in which the, people swept out of office an administration it did not like. Then a small delega- ton of gentlemen met in small room in a nearby club and decided to form a taxpayers league. Next they hold another meeting and get few more to attend. Next they advertise that there will be a mass meeting in the Y. NJ. c. A building at which every body Is to be given a square deal Did everybody get square deal? The hall was packed with men who went to look on and those who were inter ested. gentleman who was an ig- noramus in parliamentary law called the meeting to order. He said: We will read the constitution It was read and then the chairman, before anyone moved the adoption of the con stitution. asked If the motion was sec
