course contemplated by the league
would do.
1T Is a matter of courtesy to grant
a hearing, when such a request Is
made" said Mr.. Jasnowski. "Mr.
Murtha was very busy with prepare.

ton that the supreme court would
allow him to enter the race for assc

ready for the conference, two days
after the election. This considered
a not unreasonable delay.
"The representatives of the Anti.
Saloon league have admitted that
they are not sure of their legal posi-.

name to such case. I was trying
to find some ground Of security on

that he harbors more suspicion than

Mr.. Simpson said. Friday, that he
wanted TO make two things clear.
! "The first is the fact that even II
the 1876 licenses are declared illegal
II does not follow that the Pontchar
train. the Statler and other hotels to
which licenses have been transferred
will lose their licenses" he said. III
Is in the province of the council com
mittee to issue licenses to those
places which In their discretion
ought to be licensed. A favorable
decision Of the court would merely
cut down by 1876 the number of II
censes that could be issued and the
council committee could issue these
licenses to those places which. IN
their Judgment. ought to get them
