Manson, Jan. 10th, 1919
The proceedings of to-day have been somewhat
exciting. The question of United States Senator
yet remains undisposed of-and of course eniists a
vast deal of feeling. By the action of the House
yesterday, the election was put beyond the day
prescribed by the law of the last session. This OF
course left the whole matter an open question. and
left the Legislature to fix its own time The SEN
ate this morning passed resolution that to-day at
o'clock the two houses would meet in Joint SEES
sion for the purpose. The House debated 1t long
time, and finally altered it, that the meeting should
take place tomorrow, II NJ, and the election
should be by ballot. The Senate refused to concur
in this, and amended the House proposition by
striking out the ballot feature The House refused
to recede by vote Of 80 to 33-and at this point
the question stood at the hour of adjournment
The future action on this question remains Of course
to be developed So much for the Senatorial cues

the same number Of people, in population of over
10000 each one ofwhch 10000 will be taxed TO
