STANDING COMMITTEES
OF THE ASSEMBLY
HEADQUARTERS,

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 6.-Speaker Wright will an
nounce the standing committees OF the
Assembly as soon as that body convenes
tomorrow morning, and he is glad 1t is
all over. The building of those commit
tees has been months hard work. Twice
he has had his list practically completed
and each time found some one or other
who was not satisfied with his allotment
and the whole thing had to be torn to
pieces again to sandwich him in. AS a
result of it all, though, Speaker Wright
has what he considers the best list of
standing committees ever appointed in the
Assembly. In his opinion there are more
able men on the floor this year than in
signs this fact to the high standard set
by the country districts at the recent
election and the assistance given him in
his selection by Speaker pro TEN. Alden
Anderson.
The Judiciary Committee this year
was cut to fit the cloth. There are just
twenty lawyers on the floor, and nineteen
of them were assigned to the committee.
All twenty would have been obliged to do
duty, but Mead of Los Angeles begged off
on the ground that he wanted other work.
Grove l.. Johnson was made its chairman,
and his work will be no light matter, as
the Committee on Constitutional Amend
ments and that on Crimes and Penalties
have been consolidated with the judiciary
ana the conDlnatl0n is a dtff1cult one to
deal with.
The committees on engrossment and en-
rollment have been combined, and that on
codes and statutes eliminated, as it's work
is now being done by the Code Commits
sion. Belshaw of Contra Costa is down
as chairman of the Election Laws Com
mittee, and proposes to have the general
election law perfected before he goes out
of office
The Craftsmanship of the Committee on
ways and Means went to the Los An
geles delegation, and Assemblyman VAL
entine got the appointment. Mr.. Valen-
tine has been of inestimable assistance to
Speaker Wright since he took up his new
duties. and his reward is the most i'm
portant committee of the lower house.
Dibble of San Francisco made hard
fight for the craftsmanship of the Com
mttee on Rules, and got 1t. What Mr..
Dibble viii do with it remains to be seen.
The complete list is as follows:
Committee on State Prisons and Reformatory
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Anterior, Bliss Henry
Beeches, Eugene Sullivan, Glenn, Fairweather
Committee Swamp and Overlooked Lands

aware of the fact. This being the case
they anticipate q long drawn out fight,
and the possibility Of the Democrat /.
at a timely moment and breaking a dead
lock.
The Burns people also realize the fact
that If even Democratic Assemblymen
and Senators do enter the contest to vote
for a Republican for United States Sena-
tor that Republican will not be Daniel M.
Burns.
So a resolution was introduced in the
Democratic joint caucus which if adopted
would have had the effect Of tying the
Democratic legislators into voting for a
Democratic Senator to the end of the
The resolution was promptly consigned
to oblivion, being tabled by the decisive
corded discussion The sentiment of the
caucus was practically unanimous.
Only on two ballots are the Democratic
members of the legislature compelled by
the mandate of their caucus to vote for
a Democrat. On the first ballot they are
to vote for Senator stephen M. White,
and on the second ballot for James D..
Phelan.
After that, unless some change in pres
ent plans is made, the Democrats will be
able to act as a free and independent
force in the Senatorial contest, and some
of them will undoubtedly exercise their
freedom.
Assemblyman Fairweather Of Fresno
County is one of those Democrats who
a DOSll1OH
contest Mr. Fairweather states that
while he was elected as q Democrat, he is
in the California Legislature as a repre-
sentative of the people, and after having
done his party duty he will, If he sees fit,
exercise his right to vote for a Republican
for Senator If by so doing he can save the
good name of the State.
There are other Democrats who are
equally as independent as Assemblyman
Fairweather Assemblyman Meserve of
San Bernardino County and ASsemblyman
Mead Of Los Angeles County will. so 1t Is
claimed, take the same position that the
courageous Assemblyman from Fresno
County does.
the event there should be a sharp contest
for a number of days and that Grant
should make showing of strength which
would bring him in sight of the coveted
prize there might be a stampede OF Demo-
Gratis to his column which would sweep
him in.
It Is stated on excellent authority that
already five Democratic legislators have
pledged themselves to vote for Grant In
the event the contest proves long one.
This is the nucleus of the Democratic
stampede which the Burns managers fear.
Milton Green, Grants manager, does not
deny that Grant may receive Democratic
votes, but he does say that the first prop
osition they are trying to work out is to
elect Mr. Grant by Republican votes. It
is claimed that the Burns people. do not
desire a caucus at first, but II after the
balloting has continued for several days
no result is reached. they propose to force
a caucus before there can be any Demo-
cratic stampede to Grant.
The Grant forces received another addi-
ton to-day in the way Of worker: Col
onel A. G. Gassen, member Of the Repub-
lican State Central Committee, arrived
from San Diego this evening, and imme-
diately launched himself into the fight for
the San Diego man.
