Senators Gledhiil kissel and Alt are
scored rolndIy for their attitude toward i'm
portant legislation. especially the direct
nominations bills. The turning down OF
kissel and Alt is urged Senator Bur

toward direct nominations.
The club praised Senator Travis highly
for his services. IT said OF him.
Very able and effective IN introducing
and having passed bills OF much value.
Was the only Republican Senator from
Brooklyn who refused TO join the Grady
Democrats in passing the Meade-PhiIlips
bill. the organization's substitute for real
direct primary reform. Invariably voted
in public interest. Should most certainly
be urged TO serve again

furnish campaign ma teriaI against any Of
the men of whose records It disapproved.
