MI. CnatterlOn q resolution
III the senate Yesterday which will proba-
bly, be considerably modified before it is
adopted. Ii provides for the drawing of
the long and short terms today. Under
the constitution one-half of the members
OF the senate will hold over so as to serve
in the next legislature. Mr.. Chatterton's
resolution provides that Counties entitled
to one senator shall be evenly divided and
slips representing the number placed in a
hat One-half Of these slips are marked
"long term" and one-hslf short term"
In counties having two or more senators,
each delegation is allowed to draw for only
one long term-an obvious injustice to
Laramie county, which alone is entitled to
three senators.
