WASHINGTON. d. c.. February o.
There has been some Informal talk during
the past few days as to the advisability
Of electIng a new president pro tempore
OF the Senate. the talk arising from the
supposed necessity for such action, owing
TO the fact that the present term OF MT
Harris expires with the ith OF March
There has been no conference OF Repubh-
cans on the subject. and prominent
leader OF that party Sid Tonight that
he did not believe there would be any.
The consensus OF opinion is that there
~ no necessity for such election now that
the chance OF succession TO the presidency
has been removed by the statute provid-
Ing for such succession. Under other con-
ditions such election would be necessary.
Some Democrats and Republicans, too,
also believe that Mr., Harris will hold
over until next session, anyhow. The
Senate Is a continuous body and Mr. Har-
ris has been reelected and his oreden-
tials have been filed with the secretary
OF the Senate. a number Of names have
been suggested as possible candidates for
