Mayor Albury refused to COM

The mayor said he was not
familiar with the terms of the
measure, and he refused to say if
he would seek the concessions
demanded by Freeman--a per-

Councilman J. Glenwood Sweet

was unable to put in his official
protest, except by refusing to sign
after it had been passed.
Easement Was Error

Montana's Battling Burt"
Wheeler has become the No. l
political animosity of the battle
studded Roosevelt administration
1t may turn out to be one of the
classic enmities of American po-
litical history.
Since the days when silk-stock-
inged Thomas Jefferson and
Alexander Hamilton almost came
to blows in the cabinet of Presi-
dent Washington, the voters have
been stirred by history shaping
feuds of "big shot" politicos.
Senator Wheeler, long a rough
and tumble political fighter, has
been the generally recognized
leader of the opposition in Presi-
dent Roosevelt's two most spot
lighted struggles--over the Su-
preme Court enlargement plan
and over the country's war poll
cieS.
War, the threat of war and
party splits have dTamatized the
nations famous political antago-
nisms. Most of these feuds have
been between members of the
same party. One deprived Names
brilliant James G.. Blaine of the
Presidency.
Secretary of State Jefferson
and Secretary of the Treasury
Hamilton frequently were on the
verge of fisticuffs during cabinet
controversies over the rights of
the individual and the separate
states as against those of the fed
eral government, with Hamilton
the prepayment of a powerful CEN
trail government
Although Federalist Hamilton
and Republican, Democrat Jeffer-
son were said to have tried to re-
move each other from the cabi-
net, neither leader publicly in
dulged in rabid verbal onslaughts
upon the other. Their duelling,
fist-fighting followers, however,
tossed torrid invectives.

against the France to which JEFF
ferson was friendly, thus toasted

The break between President

in IAN era of political hydro

suspend or "nullify" operation of

When Calhoun's South Caro-

son issued a proclamation of
warning to the people of the state,
ordered naval force to occupy
Charleston harbor and said pri-
vate1y he would make Calhoun
the first victim of any open con-
flict.
Calhoun lashed at the "spoils
system" under jackson and sup
ported a senate resolution which
censured the President for re-
moving government deposits from
