eral opinion among politicians in this city
is that the Governor will call an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature to enact irrigation

doing their utmost to this end since the

says he must be Convinced that the extra
st sssion would be a success before he con
sents to call it, He would not be willing
to risk the danger Of being responsible for
another iiasco such as the last extra session
proved. Ii is stated that if the extra session
be called the Democrats must take the re-
-sponsibiIity for it. The Republican legisla-
tors held Il caucus on this subject before aG-
iournment and decided not to ask the Gov
ernor, as political party, 10 call an extra
session. but while they would not favor ii
as party, many of them as individuals
are anxious that it should be called
Members of both houses are being care
fully canVassed to ascertain if a majority
can be obtained To pledge themselves to
enact legislation i'll favor of irrigation,
and if the Governor is convinced that a
clear majority in both houses can be OBJ
tained to favor irrigation, he will call an
extra session. The irrigatorS claim they
have majority i'll both houses. Senator
Mcclure and Assemblyman May think
there will be an extra session, while Sena-
tor Reddy, now in this city, thinks other
