public buildings and grounds have sig
niled their intention OF supporting
the bills passed by the senate yesterday
for sites for public buildings in Wash
ington state.
Senator Squire, as member sof the
senate committee, has been pulling some
strings on the house committee, which
seems to be bearing fruit
Representative Wilson says he
thought that the best plan would be TO
secure one building now and take an.
other next session, but. as the senate
bills have passed, they will have his
hearty support.
Martin Maginnis Disgnsted.
Martin MaHnnis, the would-be demo-
cratic senator from Montana, Is very
sour and disgusted. He thinks he has
not been used as he should, even by his
party friends. His defeat and Toole' $
election last fall has not been fully ex-
planned, and he fears that he will be
obliged to return TO his constituents
without any senatorial dignity. He is
not all pleased.
Colenel Clark, on tho other hand, Is
feeling all right, and accepts the newt
able with cheerfulness.
