Ex-senator Alex. Campbell spoke on
the plan for the proposed legislature.
He had some delicacy in naming the
Democratic majority OF the legislature,
and proposed that lots be drawn. lie
did not think at the start there should
be house committees. A speaker, SER
peant at arms and clerk would be neces-
sary. He was in favor OF taking up the
Golf. Fleming contest on one or more
nights. On other nights he would pro-
pose general legislation, such as the
Wilson tariff bill, the Hawaii con-
troversv, etc. He would also suggest at
least one days preparation on all ques,;
tions. Instead OF putting forward old
war horses he would have the "yonng
men and boys" debate the various ques'
tions. and possibly by this means some
future political star" would appear in
the tirmament.
Captain Dawson proposed that lead
ers for the two sides be at once elected,
and then they can select the members
to compose their following. He made a
motion to that effect.
Nominations for leaders were then
made as follows: G. W. Atkinson and
W. j. W. Cowden. Mr.. Atkinson sug-
gestcd that in accordance with the eter.
nal fitness OF things Mr.. Cowden be the
Democratic leader-because he is o
Democratic Office holder.
The two leaders then selected their
men as follows:
