The Interior of the Elm Park church has been re-decorated and greatly beautified.Judge Dunne's first action was to scan the returns to ascertain how many ownership supporters he has among the aldermen elect and to hold conferences with the council leader as to the makeup of the important committees in the aidermanlc body. As the returns show that the Republicans have a majority and that all the old wheel horses who have been supporting Mayor Harrison for a tentative grant to the companies have been returned to the council, a complete reorganization of the alderinanic body is necessary.

President Roosevelt swept in triumph At this meeting Mr. Hyde will enter the discussion, knowing that he need expect no mercy from his opponents and prepared to give none himself unless an absolute capitulation is made by the Alexander party. There will be no such surrender, both sides believe, so both are prepared for an engagement to the end. Both declare that "one or the other must go."

The prime factor in bringing it about was a tremendous pressure from every quarter within the society not directly connected with the warring elements and from a host' of the friends of the Equitable outside its doors, making for some sort of a solution that would end the public washing of soiled linen that has been carried on since the tight began."

As the returns show that the Republicans have a majority and that all the old wheel horses who have been supporting Mayor Harrison for a tentative grant to the companies have been returned to the council, a complete reorganization of the alderinanic body is necessary.
