Kane wanted to act on the mayor s

Starts Merry Row.
At this time Logan started the merry
row bv stating that he was surprised
to hear of the big storm raised at the
last moment, particularly as the mat
ter had been before the public for so
many weeks.
"The lawyers never thought of doing
anything until they got their fee" said
Logan. cit has been the history OF
this country. I have seen the attor-
nev-general, one of the most influential
we ever had, 60 into court and fight a
bill which he had made into law while
he was attorney general, making the
fight after he had left the government
service.
"Don't be misled by the lawyers. L
saw this in the presence of a lawyer
who is in the room. The butchers of
Oakland opposed the passage of SINH
lar ordinance, but they came around to
it after all and joined against the veto
proposed, ard they helped to make the
bill possible.
"We gave the bill all due publicity
and gave everybody a chance to make
their objections known at the proper
time. The way to have c1red the bill
| if defective. was to have it tested In
| the courts the same as any other law,
81 think this is disgrace to the Re-
publican party which sent a majority
of members TO this board, that that
party has helped to fight and oppose
everything that is decent and pro-
| gressive."
Mr.. Logan made the last statement
with some asperity.
''The Republican party" be went
on, (which promised US so many things,
has three of its leading attorneys COM
ing in here, just because they got their
fee, and try to kill the measure"
He Talks of Bribes.
Mr.. Atkinson then asked as a matter
of privilege that he reply to Mr.. Logan.
81 am surprised to hear the state
ment coming from public man" said
he. 81 am paid a fee, that s true, but
1 am not here on personal matter. AS
to newspapermen there are some who
accept brides as 1 know they have"
This statement rather electrified the
board and audience as it was not quail
fed. "There are good newspapermer
and bad newspapermen, " he added. 81
have given good reasons why this bill
should be vetoed. l say l have known
newspapermen to accept brides. We
know of instances. in this town. How
ever, 1 think Mr.. Logan is a good news
paperman one of the good ones.

arguments yesterday. This is an i'm

in this ordinance. The idea is imprac
