Republican lllaneni.
Naturally great. interest was felt when
the roll call began as to the attitude of
Senators G. A. Davis. Percy and Selbert.
the Republicans who had declared against
the bill and against the caucus decision.
Senator Pavey said: “It establishes a
gigantic political state liquor machine.
The Ropubllcun party stands pledged to
take the saloon out of politics. We are
now about to drag the saloon keeper into
politics more than ever. The machine
leaders of the Republican party believe
they can secure control of the state liquor
machine and through it maintain their
grip on theparty machine for years to
come. If the governor of this state were
a Democrat, this bill Would have no lie
publlcnn support. It is opposed by the
churchmen and by all the better classes of
individuals who are In any way connected
with the liquor trade. it is supported
solely by the whisky trust and the ntachinr
leaders of the Republican party."
Senator Seibort said: “Since the bill
first made its appearance 1 have been
openly and honestly opposed to it. 1 re
fused to be bound by thet-ancns. because i
believed no senator had It right. to pledgt
my vote for II measure tltat would benefit
his locality at the expense of mine. This
bill is opposed generally by the people of
Buffalo. It passed, It will be a great
hardship, especially to many poor but to
spectablc people in my district. who will
be driven out. of business. while places
that ought to be closed will have no trott-
ble raising the higher license."
llIII-s'nt Believe the People l-‘svor It.
Senator G. A. Davis said: “I have tried
to become reconciled to this bill. but find
it impossible. 1 cannot believe it possible
that all of the people. of this great state.
noted for its intelligence and respectabili-
ty. are mistaken: that. the entire press of
the state is IIIistukeII about this obnoxious
measure. and that a few politicians or:
right. Tho municipal authorities of most
of the cities of the state have also de-
nounced the bill. To my great surprise 1
find only two Republican senators with
the courage to speak in favor of the hill,
and one of them. the father of this meas-
ure. went out of his way to attack the city
of Buffalo. This bill affects all of the poo
plc and will reduce property valuations.
If it is passed. it will aid in defeating our
candidates for governor, United States
senator and president."
Among the prominent politicians on

were Speaker lI'ish. Leader O'Grady and
Chairman Alltls of the assembly excist

Mr. Allds, the chairman of excise, will
give. notice that he intends on Thursday
to m‘ove the hillont of order for second

which have come under my observation
that while many citizens of ilrooklyu
want consolidation a large majority object
to having it ltuposcdupon them in just

It is said that suspicion attaches to Van
Cott because he wtnt s.-IIII in llotnpstead
on Saturday night for the first time in
years. There is said to In another reason
why the officers want. V: II Unit to give an
account of himself. About five years ago
Thomas Powell. the murdered man, was
robbed of $500. The money was taken
from his house. and the burglars crept
through awlndow to get it. At. that time
suspicion attached to Van Cott. It was
reported that he had boasted of spending
old man Powell's money. but. had said
that he obtained it in a legitimate Iuan~
tier. The actual robber. who was a mom-
her of Mr. Powell's family, Van Cott
said. gave it to him.
Vnn Cott's reputation attracts suspicion
toward him at the present time. The man
who committed the murder of Mr. Pow
