Deciding Vote.

Albany, July B.-By "A vote of z 10 Is
the Senate tonight passed Assembyman
Brooks's bill providing for the retirement
at the age Of sixty-four OF all officers OF
the National Guard The bill takes effect
AT the end Of this year. and If signed by
Governor Dix will mean the retirement Of
Major General Roe ard other officers. The
bill was passed after the hardest kind OF n
fight. having been defeated few min
utes before. Senator Wagner, Democratic
leader iObbied openly among the Senators
for il, while Senator Ross. who was oppos-
ing IT, besoueht Senators Just as openly TO
stand by their promises TO him. The fight
centred around Senator Ramsperger. OF
Buffalo. who cast the decisive vote.
Largely owing the Senator Roses decla-
ration that an attempt was being made TO
play politics with the national guard, the
bill had been defeated once by n vote Of
"a 10 49, This enraged Senator Wagner.
HIS subsequent tactics went far toward
proving all that Rose had said about poll
tics. He forced the attendance Of all the
absentees and cracked the party whip over
their heads. He forced a reconsideration
OF the vote by which the bill had failed
Of passage and then announced that the
| bill was TO pass
Senator Hnman protested against this,
declaring that II once politics was injected
into the guard its effectiveness would be-
come = thing OF the past. Senator Vain
wright, one Of the ardent advocates OF the
bill said the only politics he knew Of was
politics within the guard itself where some
Of the old officers at the top were hang
ing onto their Jobs and running things so
the young and energetic men further down
the line were becoming dishearteDed and
discouraged.
Senator Rose almost choked with wrath
over this declaration and another that nc
had been working to save the job Of Gen
eral Roe. He said he had seen q certain
official who was a member Of the guard
lobbying on the floor for the bill The ad-
iutant general had been opposed 10 II AT
first. but his lips had been sealed, Rose
declared.
THE only reason this bill Is being pushed
is because certain people want these places
and have brought political pressure 10
bear" he said. The national guard is all
that stands between law and order and
anarchy i'm this state. and II you put poll
tics into il you're playing with fire

selected without reference 10 any DINER
considerations or influences No site was
selected because some man had property
which lie wished 70 sell 10 the state ~ a

The convention selected the sites for sew
eral reasons: First. Because the mon com,

10 do so. second. because II was feared
that il left 10 an official OF any board
other influences and considerations tnan
