sumed at II o'clock today by the Commit
tee on Privileges and Elections OF the SEN
ate. A number Of the members Of the
Sixth Legislative Assembly 1f Montana,
the legislature which elected Senator VIII
liam A. Clark, were in attendance.
One Of the incidents. which occurred be-
fore the committee was called to orcer by
Mr. Chandler. was a friendly, pleasant lit
tie chat between former Senator Faulkner,
counsel-in-c chief for the defence. and Rep
resentative Campbell, counsel in-chief for
the memOrialists- These gentlemen are
bitter antagonists during the sessions Of
the committee. but they resume their cor
dial relations as soon as the committee
adiourns.
J. II. Gieger. Of Libbey. Flathead county,
Mont was the first witness. He is a State
senator from Flathead county He was
nominated on the Republican ticket in
