just after noon the committee from
the Democratic house waited on the sem
ate and governor with the information
that the hoT q OF representatives had or

Governor Toole and the senate each rec
ognized this organization.
The Republican house also sent mes
sage to the senate that it had organized
and was ready for business. The mes
sage, by vote of 10 to s, was rejected,
and the clerk was directed to make na
