 Senator Seymour offered a petition on behalf of William Howard Taft, former president of the United States. for en-
 actment of real civil service or merit" law. In short speech the senator said he believed the senators were desirous of having civil service law in force and not have the session close without such law.
 Senator Hall of Wilmington questioned the standing of a petition if it did not apply to pending legislation. It devel- l oped that attached to this petition was
 the draft of civil service bill, and it
 was on this point that Senator Hall was 1 inclined to base his objection. Senator
 Seymour, in his speech, claimed that the 1 legislature had been placed in a wrong | light, for the inference was that it was | against the merit system. He attributed 1 this impression to the personal attitude
 of J. Henry Roraback and Representa- tive John Buckley toward civil service
