The bill went back to the chamber and the amended clause was substituted with the original one. vhen the measure was re turned "fo the senate Wednesday the upper house voted down the chamber and incidentally the government and the bill was re turned to the chamber with the compulsory reinstatement clause missing.

(Continued from page 1) tive elements to torm a new party with purely patriotic ideals. This party, under the name of the patriotic union, appears to have taken shape. Recent figures show that it has already established 6, 967 centers, or committees, in the country, with a reported ad herence of 952,034. Sixty-four districts In which committees have been formed have thus far failed to . report prog ress. Fears are expressed In some quarters, it is said. : that a con siderable proportion of those who registered under the new party banner may have inscribed them selves with the ulterior motive of gathering some political spoils should the patriotic union be called upon to enter office. Such fears, however, are regarded light ly by the party organizers, who declare Ahat the party's adherents a r a rn LlU or? rO SWING busy taking m- quote prices. in our TtZ&TJJ stock were, moved by a purely patriotic spirit and had only the good ot the country at heart. ; It is suggested that a govern ment form of Intellectuals should be chosen but the Spanish press reported that many objections were raised. Argument ras ad vancedthat the intellectuals were equally as inexperienced as the members of the present director ate and that many of them pos sessed new and strange ideas of government and were unlikely to exert the proper influence on the nation. A more definite idea is recently reported to have come from politi cal quarters. In this direction It is believed, according to observers, that, as a consequence of the re cent campaign against King Alfon so, some of Jhe former political leaders will rally to the aid ot the military directorate on lhe pretext that It is their patriotic duty to protect the monarchy. These former leaders are ex pected to permit themselves to be persuaded to accept office in a transitory government. This gov ernment is regarded as the one which is likely to take over power from the military directorate while the national elections are being organized.
