LESS THAN MAJORITY.
Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections Hears Arguments on the
Part of the Protestants-Crooked
Work of Republicans in the Leg
islature-Members We're Bound.

Washington, Jan 27-The senate
committee on privileges and elections
met to hear arguments in the case Of
the remonstranee against permitting
the Hon. Nathan 3. Scott Of West Yir-
GINA to occupy his seat in the senate.
The principal objection to Mr.. Scott
urged by the prOtestants was based
upon the contention that ne received
only forty-eight votes, or one less than
a majority and that ne secured his
election by causing the suspension of
two members of the legislature who
were afterwards given seats. thus re-
ducing the membership from ninety
S ven to ninety-nve.
The protestants also claimed that by
accepting commissions in the army in
1898 Getzendenner and Pierson. re-
spective.y vacated their Office as mem
benS of he state senate. Without their
votes Scott would have had forty-six
votes.
The friends of Mr.. Scott contest these
points, urging cause for the SUSPENSION
of the two members. and also showing
that Messrs. GetZendenner and PferSOn
had resigned their Offices in the army
before casting their votes, for Scott for
senator.
The first speaker for the protestants
was Judge John Holt Of West Virginia.
h urged that Getzendsaner and Pier
son were absolutely prohibited by the
West Virginia constitution from the
acceptance Of Offices under the federal
government They had the choice of
retaining their civil offices or accepting
