SENATOR HARRIS WILL HOLD OYER.
Ii Ia Not Believed That % New President
Pro Tenn VIII be Elected.

WASHINGTON. Feb. There has been
some informal talk during the past few
days as TO the adyisablity of electing
new president pro tempore of the Sen-
ate. the talk arising from the supposed
necessity for such action, owing To the
fact that the present term of Mr.. Harris
expires with the 18th OF March There
has been no conference of Republicans
on the subject and a prominent LEADER
of that party said tonight that he did
not believe there would be any. The con-
sensus of opinion Is that there is no
necessity for such election, now that
the chance of succession TO the presi-
dency has been removed by the statute
providing for such succession.
Under other conditions such election
would be necessary. Some Democrats,
and Republicans, too, also believe that
Mr. Harris viii hold over until the next
session anyhow. The Senate is a cOntinu-
Gus body and Mr.. Harris has been re-
elected and his credentials filed with the
secretary OF the Senate. A number Of
names has been suggested as possible
candidates for the Office, but il is not
believed anything will be done until the
SeLate meets in the DIST session, and
the whole subject of reorganization Is
considered.
