t What le"1 strength In their confidence
FirM the flrm attitude assumed by Oov
I. tmr Brumbaugh, who most emphatically
k Knened his camp.ilgn pledges of sup
E rort to the local option urogram. It
. wis felt t'nat his powerful Influence,
' tAiti to the apparent sweep of public
i ientlment and the known support among
IffisUtors mrmsenes, iissurcu wic suc
ois of a local option bill.
Vrlous lanvnsses of the legislative
tote- wero made, and It was confidently
mertfd that a county unit" law could
(i passed.
In the meantlmo the liquor men were
Hying very little, out worKins auigenuy
to "mend their fences." For publication
tad In private they declared, when they
M talk, entire confidence In their nbll-
f Ity to defeat any local option bill. Even
i In the House, they ussert, 140 votes vvero
pledged, publicly or privately, to vote
icalnst such u measure. About me Son
tie they felt even more conlldciit. "Not
t chance," as their llnnl word when
dlicusslns the local option's position lit
tie upper house.
Later on they cut the estimate of their
pledged vote In the House of Heprcsent-
t ttlves to 111, a constitutional majority of
even, In that body. But while conceding
lomo losses, the liquor men havo more
t recently become louder In their claims of
iiii-rnsa In blocking n locnl ontlon law.
i Jiow they openly proclnlm that the move-
ment Is virtually defeated for this session
L of the Legislature at least.
t' That their assertion will prove to be
' wjll founded seems entirely probable.
LEveh the poncr of the Governor to en-
f force hlB wishes on the lawmakers 13
seriously questioned.
' Tno views of Governor Brumbaugh's
- position arc freely expressed. Ono of them
.lives the Governor credit for sincerity;
F the other puts him In tho light of a skil
ful po''tlcian, "keeping in line" with the
Republican party leaders, while nt the
lime time appearing to keep faith with
the people to whom Ills public pledges
have been made.
LEGISL.ATOHS I.V DEFIANT MOOD.
One of these views, both of them merely
lurmlses, Is that Governor Brumbaugh's
official acts, us well ns his lets public
relations with legislators, have ben so
unsatisfactory to tho lawmakers that.
5 when the issuo Is drawn, he will Una
he can no longer command mem, umi
they will not seek to avoid an open
breach with the Executive, but rather
court it, in order to "gel even" for what
they regard ns "scores to be settled," by
Vllllng one or the Governor's pet measures
and Incidentally doing the will of tho
leaders, who are ns anxious as they, not
only to defeat local option, but also to
fe administer a rebuke to Governor Brurn-
P L-...1- T.. ..- I. tn fTAnnrfilM. hfllPVPfl
VUUaili 111 1,111, it m nv,,t...j .--.
that open defiance of his wishes Is to be
expected
The second view of the situation is that
the Governor has a "working agreement"
with the leaders, whereby ho Is at Ilb-
K erty to urge tho local option program
In the open, thereby going ns iar us hb
may, legally, to redeem his picuges,
, while at the same time the Organization
t leasers, having both tne desire nnn mo
Influence to kill local option, will do so,
assuming full responsibility for their nets
"..nd relieving the Governor of any odium
i arising therefrom.
i With this uncertainty about tho sltua
f Hon existing, neither side of the local
option controversy Is remitting any
.efforts. The quiet work of the liquor
i lobby goes merrily on nnel the tempcranco
; people of the Commonwealth continue to
hurry petitions for a local option law to
their representatives In tho Assembly.
ft With botli sides expressing the utmost
confidence, there seems to be little doubt
that a bitter flcrhf Ik In nrosnent. And
S It la the attitude of the lawmakers them
K ,e'yes toward Governor Brumbaugh
E which seems to indicate that tho local
puon program Is doomed to failure, un
less the dpmnnrl nf .nnatltliontu ininn
, Ihelr legislative representatives shall be-
P COme bO overwhelming that hn Imv.
makers are literally frightened Into nc-
luincence wan tho popular demand.
In short, as It now appears, local option
IS 'fin thft RlIHa nnn Ifr f .tn In I,A nan

Indications Point to Its Defeat
When It Conies Up for Ac
tion Tonight.
THENTON. March 22 -After two con
ferences on the locnl option bill-one at
Atlantic City and nnother here legisla
tive leaders agreed that at least 32
votes would be recorded In tho Assem
bly against thc bill, which passed tho
Senato by ono vote. This Is two more
than necessary to kill It. Thoso who aro
reasonably sure to vote against this bill,
17 Republicans and 15 Democrats, are:
llepubllcan neCamp Henry
narradale tlirbour I-al'olnte
rroaby Dalrjmple Martin
Rmllh Hushes Oalrom
acudder Hunter felnuer

Wolf Democrnts Zelgtr

fcchoen t.'olgnn

In addition to these, Assemblymnn Ber
tram E. Whitman, of lieasantvillc, mem
ber from Atlantic County. Is more than
likely to vote against tho bill. Speaker
Godfrey, also of Atlantic County, Is more
likely to vote agnlnst tho bill than for It
If It Is necessnry for him to cast a vote.
Panconst and Wolvcrlon, Republicans, of
Camden County, nro not placed, but In
dications point to their both being op
posed to tho bill.
This shows nt least 1 Republicans
agnlnst the hill and 15 Democrats also
opposed, with possibilities of at least a
dozen others of both parties.
Although It Is the general Impression
that the bill passed second reading and
Is not subject to any further amendment,
tho ofllclal minutes, printed copies of
which reached the members early Satur
day morning last, Indicate) that the record
shows tho bill still on second reading
and u special order of business for S
o'clock tonight. Speaker Godfrey feels
certain that tho bill was actually passed
on second reading, but In tho rush of
loglslatlvo business ho cannot bo certain.
Tho minutes nro without any record of
tho bill parsing second rending, and ns it
now stands unless there has been tin
error of the printer thc bill Is unfinished
business on second reading and subject
to amendment tonight.

Arguments Submitted to New

TItENTON. N J . March 22 -Arguments
showing how the full-crow law
works to tho hurt of the public nt Inrgo
were mado today by expert railroad op
erating men nnd representatives of bus
iness Interests before tho Jotnt Commlt
teo of tho New Jersey Legislature.
Trunks containing all orts of exhibits
were submitted as evidence. Ono of the
trunks carried into the Stnto House con
tained petitions hearing BS.Sll names of
residents of New Jersey who were opposed
to the full-crew law.
C. H. Stein, superintendent oC the Cen
tral Division of the Central llnilroad
Company of New Jersey, was the first
witness. He testified that the Introduc
tion of the full-crew Invv forced his com
pany to plnce on various trains men whose
services failed to benefit thc railroad or
the traveling public.
It wns contended by Mr. Sleln that thc
employment of the extra men In accoi fi
ance with the full-crew lavs could have
avoided an accident
Among the organizations which, accord
ing to attorneys for the railroads, are op
posed to the full crew l.iw Is tho New
Jersoy State Chamber of Commerce. This
organization, thiouch its ledeinted asso
ciations, represents u membership of
20,000 Influential business men, speak
