They’ are threatened with fess Of patronage, if they have any, and if they are looking for any are told plainly they will not get it, un- fess they are good. Their own po- litical bosses at home are also urging on them to “stand by the party.” The lawmakers are between the devil and the deap sea, If they atand tor the bosses’ dictum, they lose out with the people; if they stand for the interests of the. voters, the bosses @eolare they will be out of the run- ning forever more, MANY LAWMAKERS ON EDGE ‘OF OPEN REVOLT. ‘ extremely intense situation The lawmakers are quiver- the lash, and if they do také the bit in thelr teeth they may! M not stop at the Traction bill, but kick over the traces and send the rést of the Governor's programme to emash, including the ‘repeal of Day- ght Savings and Prohibition En- forcement. ‘The “missionary work” of George A. Glynn, Republican State Chair- man, among the up-State bosses 1s being resented. Even the members of the Legislature who awe their |* election to boss preference’ do not lfke the idea of being classed as fig- ureheads, but Glynn has made his report to the Capitol to the effect that the bosses have reported “all well” along the line, and this means nothing less than that the members will be expected to vote as the bosses order, But Glynn's report was made be- fore the members had heard from the home town folks as represented by the Mayors’ conference. Out of thirty cities represented by their mayors in weasion yesterday, twenty-one voted in opposition to the bill, and at the] legislative hearing later Mayor George Lunn of Schenectady explained that this meant that the representatives of 363,819 people were in favor of the| bill while cities with a population of) 6,629,232 were opposed to it. SENATORS FEEL STING OF GOV- ERNOR'S LASH. In the Senate a situation similar to that in the Assembly prevails. Loss of patronage has followed where men have shown their independence on the Governor’s measure, and Senators who have bills in committee nave been told to go and “‘see how the Guv- ernor stands” before asking that the measures bé6 reported out. A visit to the Governor means a talk on trac- tion, and may not mean that the Gov- ernor is a party to the visit. One remarkable feature of yester- day’s hearing before the Public Ser- vice Commission of the Senate and . the Judiciary Committee of the As-/ a ly was that it was attended by) legislators than ever seen before public hearing. They listened y to the arguments, pro and| eon, rey appeared impressed. / Many of them declared the argu- | ment of Senator Hiram W. Johnson was a powerful indictment of the measure. It had been freely predicted that the Senator from California would He when he exclaimed that the bill was) “not a regulatory measure, but one) of destruction and confiscation.” Mayor Carlson of Jamestown, in op- he ‘bill sald: appear with great reluctaiee against anything our splendid Gov- ernor is for. I respect him, becouse of thought which has come to believe that the peopfe of our cities are not lems. I belleve they are.” Mayor Lunn of Schenectady said: 6,629,232 AGAINST, 363,819" IN “FAVOR. “The mayors that stood up for the bill represented a total population of 263,819. Those who stood in opposi+ teon represented @ populatoin of Gf20,- 282, You may say this hot a refer- endum, and maybe the mayors do not represent the sentiment of cities, Our city eouncil is composed of eight Republicans and five Demo- crate, and unanimously, without any question, opposed this pill, and I would say If this is not a referendum Jet us have one.” The political note, seldom absent from any discussion of| New| York traction questions, was struck by Su- preine Court Justice John Ford, “If this bill goes through,” he said, “and any Republican has the nerve to run next fall against Mylan for he won’t get as many votes as there are residents of Arcade, Wy- oming County. |" Arcade is the home of Senator Knight, co-author of the bill. bas ety is about 1,200, lam A. Prenderj who as Comptroller had ead hand in framing whe dual sub: ty con acts, was the biggest gun of the advocate: of the bill. He dismissed tl hot rule argument by admitting the “0 tity of the principle, but declared that failure to save great traction prop- erties from disintegration warranted trial of another plan. He denied flatly that increased fares are thp,ob- Ject of the bill, Dut suggeste at they may come jf it appears neccs- sary to pay operating costs. and meet the city’s obligations. Mr. Preader- gitst is understood here to be in a receptive mood for appointment as one of the Rapid Transit Commis- sionerg if the bill is passed. — Woman's Body Found in Lot.
