Leaders From All Over the state.

JEFFERSON Cry, Mo-, Jan. 3.-When
the Thirty-eighth general assembly of
Missouri convened at noon yesterday,
the halls of both houses were densely
packed with visitors from different
parts Of the state.
Peculiar interest attached - the
house because 1t was the first as
sembly organized BY the Republicans
in quarter Of a century. Leading
Republicans from various parts OF the
state came In to witness the scene,
and curious Democrats swelled the
crowd. The house gallery was
crowded to its extreme capacity with
women, politicians and visiting states
men.
According to the new law, Secretary
Of State Lesueur called the house to
order. Immediately thereafter the
Republicans named their temporary
organization as follows: Temporary
speaker. A. I. Pcttijohn OF Linn; TEN.
porary chief clerk, W. l.. Morsey OF
Warren; temporary doOrkeeper, Fred
Buehrie OF Cole. The new members
were then sworn in and the house adj
joutncd until to-day.
Promptly at nom the gavel in the
hands of Lieutenant Governor John
Il. OMeara. called the senate to
order. About twenty-five members
were present In taking control OF
the new senate, the lieutenant gov

he referred to the financial and in
dustrial storm and came out openly
and STRONGLY in favor of reform In the

"cJur laws can and should be framed
SO that every man entitled to
the elective franchise may exercise II,
and that every legal ballot cast shall
be counted and the result of all cleo.

enforced. Citizen>' committees to
