An attempt to bring the United States
Senatorial controversy before the DEM

at the Continental Hotel last night was
frowned down.. 1t was consequently a
tabooed subject tilk Assemblyman 10
seph P. Tumulty, OF Hudson, the last
| speaker on the program, made several
| references to 1t. The meeting ad-
| journed as soon as Mr.. Tumulty. who

After several speeches Of an informal
nature had beer made Redmond p.
| Herman made a somewhat excited APP
peal for the discussion of Senator

to dissent but Senator Harry v. Os-
borne had the floor.

is an organization which, as its name
implies, Is for union. I think 1t can
have a great deal of usefulness, but If
1t is going to be torn apart by taking
sides with factions it's usefulness will
be at an end There are differences of
| opinion, we know. AS an organization
we have no business with them"

His remarks were greeted with pretty
general approval. Nobody seconded
the Herman resolution and the meeting
quickly passed to other business.
