IN He SENATE.

Senate convened today at II o'clock,
and after the transaction of routine
business, chairman Meyer. of the COM
mittee appointed to draft resolutions on
the death of Mrs. Milburn, at ,ered a reso-
luton of condolcnc providing that
when the senate adjourned it stand ad
journed until II a. m. tomorrow. 1t was
adopted by a standing vote.
Meyer gave notice for CLARK. of Mad'-
son, that tomorrow or later, a bill will
be introduced amending article Is of the
constitution relating to the subject of
labor. An adjournment was then taken
TO II a. m. tomorrow.
A paper was passed around last even
ing for signatures calling for a caucus to
be held ON the sena ato1al proposition this
evening. Labor and populist members
refused to sign it but it is believed the
caucus will be held. HenZe's absence at
this particular time is regarded as signi
ficant.
Considerable interest is shown here
over appointments likely to be made by
Governor Toole. Information is re-
ceived by the Inter Mountain represen-
tative from reliable source that Dan
Mcdonald is slated for good appoint
ment, probably commissioner of bureau
of agriculture, labor and industry.

unions or other industrial, benevolent
and social bodies to hold conventions or
primaries for the purpose of nominating
candidates for public office.
The same representative also served
notice he would introduce a bill amend

dumb and blind asylum.
Notice was given by Gilchrist that to-
morrow or later he will introduce a bill

concerned.

clerk when Swindlehurst moved that
further reading of bills be postponed ur-
til the proper committee to which they
could be referred had been appointed.

that w. A. Clark will receive the nomina-
tion for the long term in spiteAof all op-
position and Notwithstanding the covert
threats which are being ;ndulged.
Some of the la Dor representatives and
popu!ists are just beginning to realize
that they have been derelict in their
duty in not pressing the claims
OF organized labor to a seat in the sem
ate of the United States. There is no
doubt but had they been thinking as
much about the cause of labor as they
have about themselves individually,
the legislature to some purpose. AS 1t
is, they are being handled and used to
further the interests and purposes OF
one millionaire or another.
1t is freely predicted over here that
if Mr.. Heinze should succeed in holding
out enough of the fusionists to prevent
Clark's election, the independent demo-
Gratis will come to the latter's rescue.
What a spectacle for gods and men
it would be to see John r. TOole, w. A..
Clark of Madison and the rest stand
ing up and casting their ballots for w.
A. Clark of Silver Bow! And yet 1T is
said that this is what will be done.
Senator Carter will be the caucus
nominee of the republicans without any
opposition worth mentioning. The Ak
tempts to defeat him have failed utterly.
The report is that the republicans Will

now at the present session of congress-
rather than be delayed and acted upon
at the next session of congress when
another election is approaching. The

One thing is certain: All this talk of a
contest is helping the cause of Hon. Fl.
l.. Frank. His name was discussed more
aninatedly today as a senatorial possi-
hiity than at any time since the leSisla-
ture convened.
There are two men whose personality is
such as to entitle them to be called types
OF the lower house-Tom kilgailon of
Silver Bow and John Baker of Lewis and
Clarke. Mr.. kilgaIlons modesty has al
ready been exploited in these columns:
Mr.. Baker now makes his bow as the
assembly humorist.

ing their overcoats in the cloak room. he
explained that Representative Brien had
been obliged to take his overcoat out of

rounding the doors and windows.
The delegates from Deer Lodge county
are booming county division. They will
probably re-introduce the old Powell
county bill. None of them seem to be
greatly troubled about the contests that
have been filed.
Quinn and kilgallon of Silver Bow
have flung themselves into the breach
in defense of the fusion pledges by an
nouncing that they will present eight
hour bills for the considera ton of the
house. The rules of the house require at
| least one days notice before the intro
duction of any bill, to give the members
chance to protect themselves against
stampede.
II is said that Representative JOS euh
