to-day adopted resolutions af- 

 firming their loyalty to the initiative 

 and referendum, the recall and the re- 

 view of judicial decisions. 



It. also opposed "unequivocally and 

 unreservedly any amalgamation with 

 the discredited Republican party which 

 under recent dishonest leadership has 

 failed to carry out the precepts of 

 Abraham Lincoln and the other hon-

"We pledge ourselves to the enact-

 schemes which do not allow the valu-

 from the people. 



The telephone men objected likewise 

 to the city-control feature of the ad- 

 ministration bill, for the reason, they 

 said, that half of the number of sub- 

 scribers were in the cities, and the 

 other half in the rural districts. 



City control would fix the rate for
