BRIEF SESSION OF THE HOUSE
A BILL APPROPRIATISG s1O5,OO BY
MIR. wHITCOMB.
The Vote for Governor and Lieuten-
ant Governor Canyassed in
Joint Session.

Agnew and Stillwell appeared for the first
time during the session.
The committee appointed to obtain prices
or statutes recommended that Thornton's
statutes be bought and that they be pur-
chased of the Callahan Company, of Chi
cago, which agreed to furnish them at 1915
per copy. The resolution was adopted.
On motion OF Senator Burns two thousand
copies of Governor Mounts message were
ordered printed. 1t was then announced
by Senator Gochenour that the hour had
arrived for a joint canvass of the vote
for Governor and Lieutenant Governor. Sem
ator Wood was then recognized and stated
that it was not necessary for the Senate
and House to actually assemble together
for the canvass OF the vote, but it would
be sufficient under the law if the records
OF both houses showed there had been a
joint session. He then made a motion
hat a committee Of three be appointed to
call on the House and ascertain its pleasure
with regard TO a joint session both for the
canvass of the vote and the Inauguration of
the Lieutenant Governor. The motion car
ried and President Haggard appointed
Senators Wood, Gard and Winfield as the
committee.
While the Senate was waiting for the re-
turn OF its committee a committee of the
House reported that the House was ready
to canvass the vote for Governor and
Lieutenant Governor. The Senate, on motion
of Senator Wood, then went to the House
TO be present at the canvass.
