Know anybody ood trolley car? that It's ‘Bon-commital. Of the Assembiymen replying, forty were for the repeal, twenty-three against it and nine non-commital. There were fifteen Assemblymen for the resolution to urge Congress tc Vegalize tho sale of wine and. beer, feventeen opposed to such action and fen were non-committal or failed to reply. Out of fifteen New York City Sen- store replying ta the queriex, eleven said they favored the repeal of the Mullan-Gage act, four were non-com- mittal and: nono expressed opp sition. Comparatively fow replies were re- eelved from Senators and Assembly Men up State. This was explained by one.of them on the ground that any question involving Prohibition was highly controversial, and that many ef the Senators and Assemb! avoided taking a position in advance. In general, most of the up-State leg- islators replying were against either a repeal of the Mullan-Gage act or a resolution to Congress, although there were fewer against the resolution.
