pers.
Senator Orr was opposed to the adop-
| ton OF the resolution. He thought it was
giving the committee work TO perform
which distinctly belonged to other COM
| nIlttees, and he thought the regular COM
mittees would best subserve the wishes
OF the people by attending to their own
| business.
| Senator VOORHEES, also thought the

luton was too far-reaching, and moved
that II be made the special order OF busi-
ness Tor O'Clock P. VI. This motion was

HOLLOWAY ON ATTACHES,
This brought Senator Holloway to his
| feet with a resolution that no more at
! taches be appointed for the Senate unless
! by a fOur-ltthS vote.
In defense OF his resolution, Senator
| Holloway said that the present daily ex-
! pense OF the Senate amounted to nearly
$500, and bids fair to exceed that of any
! Senate that had ever sat in this State IL
! was tune to draw the line, and the way
! TO stop was, as Horace Greeley would
! have put it, to stop. He was satisfied
| that there were already far more at
! taches IN the Senate than was necessary
! Tor the transaction of business, and they
were actually tumbling over each other
/ in their attempts TO keep out of mischief
| The newspapers all over the State were
! beginning TO remark about the reckle
! expenditures, and the taxpayer would
soon make roar for economy. He did
! not wish to go back to his constituents to
/ have the finger of scorn pointed at him.
! and be designated as one of the forty
! gentlemen referred to in the Arabian
| NightS.' He thought it was time the
! Republicans in the Senate stopped and
| took look about them.
! a suggestion was made that the resolu-
| ton be referred TO the Committee on At
taches, but Senator Holloway urged its
present adoption, stating that he had per-
! mission from the Chairman OF that COM
mittee, Senator Hart, TO adopt the reso-
! luton without reference.
! DIR. Martin, Senator from Placer
F.! County, was on his feet shouting at the
! President pro tenn, but the latter referred
the resolution to the Committee on At
/ taches in the midst of the hubbub. Sem
| ator Martin continued his attempts to get
! the ear OF the President and when ne
/ did so, said that he had asked to be heard
upon the resolution prior to it's reference
| The President pro tenn. thought other
wise, but Senator Martin was not to be
suppressed. and finally succeeded in
having his say. 1t was this:
"Mr. President, l am opposed to the
! resolution Tor the reason that among all
the attaches appointed there has not been
/ a single Democrat given position, and |
want the appointments left open in hopes
! that one Democrat az least may get his
name on the payroll.
! At 1910 P. NJ. the Senate took recess
! until o'clock.
/ Afternoon Session.
! Bills were introduced and referred to
committees as follows:
| By Androus-Providing for the erec-
ton Of an electric plant at the Whittier
/ Reform School.-Claims.
by Smiih-Relating to highways
! Roads and Highways.
