before the legislators but the opinion
is expressed that certain reactionaries

der. Gov. Byrne has received a num-
Der Of letters from the representatives
pledging that no legislation other than
the primary bill would be considered.
II this is carried U the session will
not last longer than four or five days.
There is no objection 10 the special
