G. Conner in voting with the Demo-
cratic members Of Council last night,
equally dividing the four offices that

Conner for deserving his fellow Re-
publican members of Council, and
there also are hundreds of Democrats
who do not take kindly TO the deal.
Many of these are Of the opinion that
the Democrats should have kept to
themselves and allowed the Republi-
cans to settle their difficulties, so
far as the Offices within the gift OF
Council are concerned. They point
out that nothing was accomplished
to benefit the Democrats except plac-
ing two men in Office and il anything
was done it was harm to their own
party by entering into such an agree
ment
To add color to the affair it was
rumored today that last nights pro-
ceedings are not the end. It was said
that an agreement also bad been en-
tered into between Councilman Con-
ner and the Democrats in Council

building inspector. The last named
position, however, does not become va
cant until next May. il was said

the statement made on the stand today

sci for the trust. Parsons said he be-
lieved corporation had just as much
right to protect itself from unpleas-
ant legislation by contributing to a
campaign fund, as an individual. He
said that he believed the contribution
was paid TO the treasurer of the Re-
publican National Committee but he
was not sure what his name was.
Until the law was passed prohibits
ing corporation contributions, Parsons

importuned for money by both political
parties He said It contributed when

twenty thousand voters in this COM

The answer to Mr.. Corners chal-
lenge should come from the New

full absurdity the absolute necessity
for the abolition Of Ward lines and the
election at large Of those who govern

should be held as particep criminis
in everything Of the kind that will
occur in the future.
