Nothing Political In Bill "There is nothing political in the | bill so far us I know," said Senator Ueidleman to-day. "Solicitor Fox ! gave It to me as covering amend | ments advocated by the law committee of the Third Class City League and I introduced it, knowing that the com mittee had given the matter full I thought. j "1 agree with the committee that the county ought not to be required I to spend the $6,000 for a special clec ! tion. Remember, I represent the ' county districts as well as the city : and It is the county—not the city i alone—which must spend this money. Does It seem fair to ask the farmers (and the property owners of the small towns to pay for the election of a | councilman for Harrisburg? How I would the people of Harrisburg like to be asked to pay $6,000 for a town i ship supervisor for the country dis j tricts? I think the people of both city ! and county will agree with me that $>5,000 is an item well worth saving i and that a bill that has the approval of such worthy men as make up the ;law committee of the Third-Class City ! League which will have this money is | well worth passing. Taylor >'o Candidate "It is nonsense to say that I am back of this bill because I want to i make Harvey Taylor councilman. I j have no such thought. I have noti even heard that Mr. Taylor is a candi- | date, and I believe I would have heard j it if he had aspirations for the place. There is no politics In my stand.

If there is a tie vote the court of j comon pleas is to fill the vacancy | upon petition of ten or more quali ; fled electors.
