Twas raised by those who expected

.-a Senate. III Mr.. Mills had been elect
a.asI understand il, there would have
len likelihood of a prolonged session,
which would have prevented members
and Senators from active participation
m The campaign until late in the
sumner. Those people and papsrs
that are trying TO make it appear that
ts Speakership contest was fought on
Cleveland and anti-Clevel2nd lines,
want 20 split the party into factions,
t-,tLey will be disappointed.
