THE SENATE


yesterday, at the first meeting
after the recess. In the absence of
Lieut. Governor Bartlett, Senator La
Moure presided as president pro tenn
and as presiding officer who expedites
business he is hard to beat. He was the
recipient of many congratulatory ex-
pressiors after the adjournment upon
the ease and ability with which he con-
trolled the senate's deliberations.
There we're % senators present answer
ing to roll call, just enough to pass a
bill with an emergency clause. AS the
greater part of the work was the passage
of the appropriation bills, all of which
have emergency clauses, it kept the
pages and senate officers busy keeping
senators in their seats and insuring the
passage of emergencies.
Among the features of the session was
the signing of the apportionment bill by
the president pro tenn. On motion of
Senator Noble, the pen with which the
bill was signed was presented to Senator
Sharpe, the father of the bill. The ap-
portionment bill was delivered to the
governor later in the afternoon.
