Public Executive Session

II looks now rs though the first great fight
in the Senate. this session, viii be over the
question of making executive sessions public.
Senator Teller declares that they must he,
ami in this opinion he is joined by most OF
the nex sen itors of both parties. On the
other hand. the older senator's, led by Mr..
Edmunds. are stoutly opposed to publicity.
The arguments are strong on both sides, but
tbi, much is c. rtair. no matter now securely
the doors are locked during executive ses-
sion, the proceedings never remain secret long
after adjournment. Somebody always leaks
and the newspapers contain tolerably full
and accurate accounts of the proceedings.
