Notwithstanding the provision of the
Slate Constitution that the Lieutenant-
Governor shall take The oath OF office in
the presence of both Houses Of the Legis-
lature, there are still those who affirm
that he not only can, but will, take the
oath at his home in Los Angeles. Sena-
tor Androus is reported as saying that the
entire matter has been arranged, and that
he will qualify in a few days.
No prayer was offered in the Senate at
the opening OF the session yesterday.

mined to start the wheels of legislation
without the usual invocation.

candidate

handed in the announcement at the re-
quest OF Senator langford, who merely
wished to get the members together for

Tor any position whatever would be

camp of the minority.

a Senatorial Democratic caucus was
held last night, at which the full force of
the minority was represented. Senator
Langford was elected Chairman and
Senator McAilister Secretary.
An informal talk was held, though the
su uDJect OF nominations for the United
States Senate was not touched upon.
1t was determined to make no nomina-
tIons for Senatorial positions unless the
Republican caucus failed to agree upon
any of its candidates.
1t was understood that a caucus would
be held in the near future to consider the
proposition of making single, or many
