The Montana senators.

Washington, Dec. 21.- Some ques-
tion has arisen as to whether the SEN
ators to be chosen to fill vacancies in
the States Of Montana, Washington
and Wyoming, can be elected on the
first day the legislature meets or will
the election have to be postponed un-
til the sitting members terms are
about to expire. Senator Dubois of
Idaho. who has been looking up the
matter. has found that senators elect
ed to fill vacancies must be elected In
precisely the same manner as Gpse
to fill terms to expire in the near
future. This will prevent the ELECTION
of senators to fill the vacancies until
the time when the regular senatorial
election would occur.
