Like bolt from the blue sky into

the announcement that majority of
the Vertrees state committee had
signed the so-called editors harmony
plan. The regular" leaders here had
been so cock sure" that Vertrees
would be sustained that they could
hardly believe that he had fallen.
So confident were the local forces
oi tire invincibility of Chairman Ver-
trees that they had lost no opportuni-
ty to testify their loyalty to and zeal
for the state chairman. Twice the
local county committee of that fac.
ton passed resolutions endorsing the
chairman. In fact SO recently was
this done that the ink is now hardly
dry ON the resolutions of approval.
The result is that the local "regu
lars" do not know where they are
'at.' Col. Thomas H. PEBBLES, the
leader of that faction in the county
and "a stannch advocate of the Yer
trees plan, stated this morning that
right now ne was up in the air" and
had no statement to make. He stat

Unquestionably the Patterson OF

sort of harmony arrangement witt
independent democrats. Not a sin

the Vertrees primary be held on May
Is it is certain that a large majority

The finance committee did not look
like 1t meant to interfere with the
present rate OF gas. because the super

thousand dollars for improvements to

Mr.. Ratclifre showed that the net
receipts from gas this month would
be something like $9o,0o0-for one
month. He also showed that the fact
that the superintendent wanted i'm
proyements would in no wise inter
fere with the reduction in the price
of gas, because the improvements
would be permanent, while the profit
being derived from the city from the
gas. plant was an fntermtnable one.
