While the social reunion was given on
they discussed the gubernatorial con.
test, the majority report md the posi-.
bic effect on the contest OF any effort to
put through legislation. The chief am
was to map out plan OF campaign with
regard to the contest. The general feel
ing was in favor OF settling the contest
first, though no formal action was taken
for two reasons. First, because this was
not u formal conference and because it
was thought to be u day or two too soon
to 4 take decided ground. The under
standing was that Democrats should
vote as they please on Major lIoore's
joint resolution A offered to-day and
which will come up tomorrow, declar-
ing that the contest Is TO be settled be-
fore legislation is taken up. It is an
even guess whether the resolution will
pass the House. Senators will! not ex-
press an opinion CONCERNING it. There
is.. no excitement; Republicans and
Democrats calmly and good naturedly
discuss the contest. z
