Hundreds of thousands of dollars are
tied up in apparatus and machinery

latter should not be used as n means of

Governor Sproul believes in the cle-
ment of fair play One of his dec
laratiOns prior to his nomination was
that he would treat all regularly orga
ni2ed factions of the party with jus
tice. On the other hand it is charged
that the chartcrists have failed to con
form to certain of their original agree
mpnts. Amendments have been made
by them that were not agreed upon by
the administration. The charter rCvi-
sion committee was informed of this
fact some time ago. The leaders have
arbitrarily rejected amendments sug-
gested by the administration and in
sisted upon the introduction of amend =
ments and changes of their own.
To those familiar with the trend of
thought of the Governor and attorney
general it has been known for some days
that unless the bills conformed to their
ideas drastic measures would be ncccs =
