Of the local option BILL is a perjuror,
and already there is general discussion
as to whether the charge, II proved,

The question has been raised as to
whether the swearing of a candidate
for office that he lived in a certain
ward and district, when, as a matter
of fact, he had removed to another
ward and district six months an twelve
Gays previous, would not be sufficient
grounds for his unseating by the house,
In which case the local option bill which
he fathered might be invalidated.

REAL ESTATE MEN

The proposed real estate mems as
ISOLATION, in which renewed interest
was stirred by the visit to Washing
ton yesterday of S. s. Thorpe, presi-
dent of the National Association of
Real Estate Exchanges, seems GER
tain today of formation. While some
of the brokers do not concede the
necessity for such an organization, 1t
is safe 10 say that the majority are
decidedly in favor of it. A meeting
Of the temporary committee to plan
for the organization is to be called
in a few days.
"Mr. Thorpe put an entirely new
phase on the subject of Il real estate
association" said John l.. Weaver,
one of the members of the committee
today. 1T has formerly been the
idea in Washington that a real es-
tate mems organization would be
purely an exchange. This Is not the
primary object OF such an organiza-
tion. 1t should be designed chiefly to
bring together the men who are en- =
gagged In the business for the pur-
pose of placing II upon a higher plane
of ethics and efficiency. An exchange
IL one should be determined upon,
would be only an incidental feature.
am convinced that the time Is ripe
for organizing"
II have always approved the idea
said w. G. Dent, of Gardiner & Dent.
The city is behind the times in not
having such an organization now. The
business needs the regulating influ-
ence OF Just such an agency"

Herbert Z. Shannon. of Shannon &
Luchs, was OF the opinion that steps
would be taken Immediately to form
the organization.
William A. Boss, OF the w. A. Bos.
Company. also expressed his firm con
viction of the need of a real. estat,
association.
Harry V. Bouic, OF Harry v. Boui,
