County Democrats had been corraie"

their objections. Any imperfections dls-
covered they said, could thus he curen
before the charter went into effect WIN
Bavne. Btrd and Black holding out
Tammany was unable to go aheao WIN
the charter IN the Senate. and the APP
portionment bill could not be taken up
in either house until the charter muss
had been settled. and few disgruntle'
Democrats reconciled on their Congress
districts. So the Senate marked time
to-day. and the Assembly held fifteen
minute session.
Early this morning word spread all
over the Capitol that Senator Roosevelt
hitherto declaring himself in opposition
to the charter IL he was the only Demo-
crat to vote against it, had been landed
bv Tanmanv. Roosevelt has been kick
ing. because In the apportionment Dill
Dutchess County was Joined to Orange
and Putnam. He has protested long ana
loud. Hitherto MS protests have been
laughed a by Tammanv. and it has been
said openly that he. an anti-Tammany
insurgent on the Senatorship, could look
for no favors from Tammany. When
his vote on the charter. as we'll as those
Of Assen1blymen Chanler and Hoyt. was
needed. it was different.
No Dcksr with Tammary.
Word went forth that his Congress
district was 10 he changed To suit him
lust when Tammany spread the word
that he was going to vote for the char
ter. Roosevelt resented vehemently any
statement or intimation that his vote for
the charter was 10 he given in exchange
for a Congress district TO suit him.
Il have rot made any decker with
Tammany." he said. II do not know
whether I'll vote for the charter or not.
Certainly I won't vote for It rs II passed
the Assembly. have demanded i
change i'm the Congress districts all
along. and shall continue 10 do go. !
don't know what they're going n do, but
if they don't do as | want III vote
against the apportionment III. My ac-
ton on that will have no bearing on my
,oly, ~
mind on that wholly apart from any
other bill"
If Roosevelt did not know of the
changes it was proposed to make in the
for the charter Senator Fiero did. To
give Roosevelt the district he wanted
the Democrats as the plan stands have
divided Ulster County into two parts,
one hitched to Duchess, Columbia and
Green and the other to Putnam. Orange
and Sullivan.
This is entirely unjust to growing
county and one certainly debatable
ground" said Senator Fiero. Il have
had dozens of kilograms Of protest from
both Democrats and Republicans. 1t
means no Ulster County man ever can
aspire to go TO Congress. / wasn't con-
suited about the change and to express
my disapproval of it shall vote against
the reapportionmcnt bill"
Because Of the changes made I'm Erie
County 20 suit Congressman Driscoll
and Fitzpatrick, the leader, Senator
Ramsperger says he will vote against
the apportionment bill. and because The
Bronx hasn't been changed 10 suit still
well he says he'll vote against the bill.
Both houses of the Legislature will
meet AT II a. m. tomorrow. Senator
Grady has promised that by that time
the leaders will know just what they
can and can't do, and. after they have
decided. will go ahead and finish, so a
final adjournment can be taken, If the
session runs over into Sunday morning.
Meantime, the big Tammanyitos and the
little ones here are laborng nightly by
hook or crook 10 land the votes for their
precious charter-they aren't worried so
much about the apportlonment bill-and
the wires arc hot with messages from
New York and other points around the
