Governors Friends Fight.
The fight over the proposed impeach-
ment started with the first crack of the
speakers gavel in the assembly chamber.
For nearly three hours the Frawley COM
mittee report lay before the assembly for
adoption. During that time member
after member spoke. not SO much to the
question of adopting the report as to the
greater question each man knew would
follow-the question of Impeachment.
With every weapon at their, command,
the friends OF the governor fought every
preliminary step to the adoption of the
report Assemblyman Schaap, leader of
the progressives. appealed sin the name
of fair play and the hope of receiving
Justice which every man may reason
ably entertain" for delay until the evil
dence gathered by the committee could
be read.
He asked for postponement of but
twelve hours.
Republican Leader Human opposed
what he termed snap action on three
grounds, namely, that the assembly could
at least read the evidence before voting;
that the assembly could not impeach the
governor while in extraordinary session
unless called together for that purpose;
that the governor could not be impeached
for acts committed prior to taking Office,
but only for misconduct during his adj
ministration.
Assemblyman Gibbs, democrat, aroused
the only applause of the evening by
asking every man in the house with
red blood in his veins to give the gov

the report after several preliminary
skirmishes~ and roll calls was Go to 30.
Sixty-two democrats and three re-
pubiicanS voted in favor Of the motion.
OF the So members voting against the
mutton nineteen were democrats. 10 re-

After the announcement of the vote
Mr. Levy introduced his resolution tC

luton over for consider alton at III O'Clock
today.

Assemblyman Gibbs. urged more delay
He wanted a weeks time, at least. Mr..
Gibbs turned to face the majority leader,
and Numbered his opinion Of the assem-
blymen of his own party
"If William Silzer were the greatest
wretch that ever crawled this EARTH" he
said. you are not giving him a square

leadership to have to say So.

delay in considering the impeachment
resolution, was lost by vote. OF 30 to e.,
and the house then adopted the Levy mo-
ton to consider the impeachment resolu-
ton at it's session this forenoon. The
vote on this motion was u TO 80
Accepted by the Senate.
Senator Duhamel Of Brooklyn created
breeze in the senate. following the
reading of the Frawley report, when
he practically accused the committee
of appearing to have crucihed the
governor.
Senator Frawley, chairman of the in
vestlgating ccmmi; tee, jumped Up In
mis- place and exclaimed:
when the senator makes the state
ment that this committee has crucified
the governor he sas 5 what is not true.
Il want to say that no man in this
state is more friend to the governor
Loud laughter in the galleries here
crowned the rest Of Senator Frawley' 8
sentence, and the presiding officer
raped loudly for order.
Senator Duhamel replied that he did
not wish to impute dishonorable mo-
tives to the committee, but insisted
there should be more evidence. He
moved that the report be recommitted
with instructions to take additional
testimony on both sides.
1T is the first time that an attempt
has been made to place such a stain
upon the state" he pleaded. Il am not
satisfied that the evidence submitted Is
sufficient to impeach the governor"
Half a dozen other senators argued I'm
favor Of accepting the report, and a
motion to that effect prevailed.

can be thought out and acted UPON by

Il vital principle of Americanism.
Catholicism and Americanism are in
complete agreement.
Now and then. even in otherwise intel
ligent quarters. a charge, If not OF anti
catholicism, at least of un-Americanism,
is laid to the door of the Catholic Church.
The charge must seem most singular, SO
soon as we at all advert to the essential
Tossing to be of divine origin. Yet the
charge is made. Substantially it is this:
The Catholic Church in it's faith and
morals does not bear the stamp-'Made in
America 1t is un-American to go across
the Atlantic or the Pacific for aught that
ligion. Now. the head Of the Catholic
church is the Bishop of Rome, a for

iority, Europeans. Asiatics. Africans
legislate in faith and morals for Amer

Why not councils. as those of other re-
lgious bodies, exclusively made up of
Americans?
Yes. the Catholic Church is extra

America alone; its supreme pontin is

changed his plans and would arrive
on an afternoon train over the Ches-

pressed themselves as delighted with
their trip. The people of Denver gave
the visiting governors q cordial recep-

Governor Mann declares that nex to

had a thoroughly pleasant tine.
Though naturally fatigued from the

well and gives evidence that the trip
