From a Staff Correspondent

ALBANY, March 17.-Colonel Ran
som II. Gillett Republican member of
the Assembly from Columbia County,
at conference to-day Of legislative
leaders presided over by Senator j.
Henry Walters, president pro tenn
of the Senate, agreed to drop his light
wine and beer bill and introduce a $50
per cent beer bill.
The bill which Colonel Gillctt will
introduce is word for word the $50
per cent beer law of New Jersey. and
has been introduced in the Senate by
Senator James j. Walker minority
leader.
Speaker Thaddcus c. Sweet did not
attend the conference. Nor was he in
vited because Of his announcement that
he would fight any beer, or light wine
and beer bill
The ignoring of Sweet was followed
by his speed departure for New York
City where. it is believed, he will try
to line up scmc of the local Republican
leaders behind his proposal to do moth

of Colonel Gillett, there arc at least
eighty members ready to vote for a

by Governor Smith is forcgone con-

known that Senator Walters bad openly

caused a report to be published that
Senator Walters, because Of his atti-
tude on the wet" apd "dry" issue,
might have his leadership taken away
from him.
Republican Senators characterized
the report as absurd and untrue. The
fact is that the report originated in
the mind of Sweets chief propaganda
agent The fight between the "wets"
and the "drys" was started again in
the open o-day, when Senator George
F. Thompson, of Niagara, who intro
