had il not been for the offensive tactics
OF the Grundv- Oliver leaders.
Every effort, every undcrhand scheme,

anti administration people to club this
bill to denth in the subcommittee headed
BY Duncan st. Clair.
These tactics were carried out. in

Of the attorney general, to report the
bill aud give the members a chance 70

The Grundy Oliver faction evidently
overplaycd its decision to bring the bill
out of committee and force 1t TO an

I understand that it is the Gov
ernors purpose no, TO play politics
with this measure. as the opposition
has all along declared hr would do.

Sproul TO place at the head of the now
Depa rtmeut ot Welfare the highest type
Of A man familiar with and capable of
organizing this sort or a bureau.
As in the case Of DR.. Fincgau, state
superintendent Of public schools, it is
not improbable that the Governor will
20 outside the state 10 get commits
sioncr with the highest possible at
tainments for the position.
| II can also be said positively, and az
fnslity. that the Governor private

allotted to him.
Senator Ware, although every one OF
his followers voted 10 depose Spangler,
makes no secret Of il that he admires
the former speaker. Such loyalty as
Spangler exhibited to his friends, going
even to the limit OF sacrificing the high
Office Of speaker. has aroused the utmost
admiration ot Ware, who cannot cease
talking about IL.
Spangler took the advice Of his din &.

none Of the suppressed emotion which
marked his demand yesterday 70,

impassioned and brilliant pleas ever

After the love feast with Whitaker
Spangler arose and wandered around
