Helena, Mont, Jan. 5-Speaker Stiff
announced his committee appointments
to the house this morning soon after that
body vas ready for business. 1t furnish
ed matter for some comment that the
speakers late opponent for the honor of
presiding over the house, e. G. Day of
Helena, did not receive the chairmanship
of at least one important committee, be-
ing only accorded the distinction of
heading the library committee. This ap-
parent slight is reported to have caused
more or less feeling among Mr.. Days
friends.

ter a brief session.
A house caucus has been called for this
evening to reach some conclusion upon
committee clerkships, host of candi-

hold a caucus on senator too but no one
knows whether it will develop. w. A.
