and better position.
DO you wish to submit this fran

by no means answered the finan-
cier
Well, what do you propose them
This. Would it not be well. in
case this movement grows strong
enough to be worthy Of the attention
we are giving it. to declare as from
the party in power that while we have
the power to grant the franchise, and
while we think 1t would be for the
interests Of the people that 1t should
be granted. yet we are willing to de-
fer action until after the election and
let the election determine"
THAT would be a wise course" said
Haldane. II don't know but that 1t ID
the wisest course; but We must face
the alternative"
What is that?"
Defeat! If we made that PROPOSE
ton, and then were defeated. II
would be impossible for us to secure
the franchise. The stock Of the

TITS worth. of course. what wa
put into it."
And what will its earning capacity
be-"
1T we control it, 1t will pay q fair
dividend on all the stock that has
been put out, most Of which is hold
by our friends and the friends of the
organization" answered Van Slyke.
The problem was tremendous one
They faced it silently a moment OF
two, and at last Haldane restated 1t.
You see, we can. If necessary. defy
public opinion and jam through an
ordinance at the last minute even Il
we are likely to lose the election. q.
though by SO doing we should give the
enemy a tremendous advantage a
the close of the campaign. Or we can
defer the granting of the franchise
until after the election. in the hope
that the postponement will he our
