Strange Cases of Judge Powers and

To become United States senator is
an aspiration known to many men, some
few of whom succeed in gaining the hon
or after years of striving. Few, how
ever, of these would think the game
worth the candle or would want the Office
if. they knew that they could hold it for
only one day. -. So.
Judge o. w. Powers Of Utah is a
unique case Of the Office seeking the
man and finding him, for he is probably
the only man in the United States who
was senator for one day. In this con-
nection it may be noted that we once
had president who held the Office for
one day.

term expired at noon of March 4, 1910.
This day CHANGED to be Sunday, and
Zachary Taylor, the president elect, re-
fused to take the oath of Office on the
Sabbath. AS Folks term had legally
expired and with it that Of his vice
president, George NJ. Dallas, and as Tay-
lor could not legally take his seat until
he had taken the oath Of Office, Atchison
was the legal president Of the United
States for one day.
In the case Of Judge Powers, the gov.
ernor Of Utah. Heber NJ. Wells, left the
state on a pleasure trip. While he was
gone the acting governor appointed
Judge Powers to the vacant seat in the
senate without the knowledge or con-
sent Of the governor, who discovered the
appointment on the following day. The
whole affair was perhaps intended as q
joke. for, owing to recent decisions by
the senate, the quasi senator could under
no circumstances have taken his seat
by virtue Of such appointment. ,
!; By the United States constitution each
branch of our. national legislature Is,
made the judge of the qualifications Of its
own members. Judge Powers has made
no claim to his seat in the senate, but
IL he should do 50 in the future certain
argument used against the seating of
Senator Quay Of Pennsylvania would
undoubtedly be Used against him. 1t
was held that the appointment of a. SEN
ator by the governor or his Representa-
tive. in tho absence of the state ]egisla-
ture, could be held to be valid only
when the vacancy in the office could be
regarded as unexpected. As the Va
cancy to which Judge Powers owed the
honor thrust upon him could in no sense
of the word have beens regarded as unex.
pected, it follows that Judge Powers, il
he wishes to assume the senatorial toga,
must gain it in the time honsred way.

The Democrats who were
leaders under the last Cleveland
administration propose to, take a
leading partin thereorgan;zation
Of the Democratic party. But
the Democratic party will be no
stronger under that leadership
than under the present. The
last Cleveland administration
was a very unpopular one, and
at its close It was easy for the
Western element in Democracy,
as represented by Bryan, Alt
geld and others, to control the
party. Such leadership could
not win, but it was more &C
ceptable>to the party generally
than the Cleveland crowd. And
in addition to that these Wes-
tern Democrats were able to ar
range fusion with the Popu-
lists. It is certain that the Pop
ulists will never unite with the
Eastern, or sound money Demo-
Gratis. This process of re.orga-
nizing the Democratic party will
be a very interesting one to
watch.

Weather prophecies have long been the

stitutcd one at that, predicts within one

ture opinions should be regarded with

10th to the 18th" 1t is positively proved
that this prediction was sent out toward
