When the fourteen Senators meet this
morning in the old throne room, at the
Executive building, in extraordinary
session. pursuant to the call of the
Governor. there will be witnessed the
unusual ceremony of the senior mem
Der of the body calling it to order and
temporarily organizing it,
The absence of the clerk of the body
makes this course necessary. The final
caucus on the conduct of the Repub-
lican members viii not be held until
this morning. 1t is known however
that all the members now in the city
favor the requesting of Senator. Bald
win to call the body to order and call
for the nomination of the men who
shall take charge of the election of
the permanent officials.
The Senate, after the committees on
credentials and such related subjects
have reported. and the organization is
made complete. will send committee
to wait on the Governor, and notify
him that the body is ready for. busi-
ness. It is understood that the response
to this communication will be the i'm
mediate communication to the Senate
of the first message of the Governor,
reciting the causes which have led to
the call and the necessity for action
at once.
1t is not expected that there will be
anything further than the reception of
this message. and then the body viii
adjourn until tomorrow morning when
there will be the appointment of the
standing committees for the session.
1t is not expected that there will be
many of these, as there will be intro
du9ed nothing in the way of legisla-
ton, owing to the fact that the Senate
may not consider anything but appoint
ments and removals at this session.
Governor Dole is said TO have in the
course of preparation a longer message
which it is expected will contain the.
charges made against the several mem
bers of the executive body, the conduct
of various offices and the reasons why
there should be vacancies in them. This
action win not take long, as it is un-
derstood that the bills necessary to ac-
complish the removals have been con-
|sidered, and 1t is probable that they will
be taken up in the Senate as whole,
and not referred to a committe for
primary action.
The Republican Senators In the city
and the members of the executive COM
mittee met for caucus last evening
spending several hours in consideration
of the many matters which were
brought before them. A resolution was
adopted in which the executive COM
mittee was indicated as the proper body
to make recommendations for appoint
ments to office, and after this was done
the committee proceeded to take up the
matter of the officials for the Senate.
Votes were taken on the various can
didates. and a full list was submitted
to the Senator'S for their approval.
A short meeting of the Senator'S was
held but it was given out that another
gathering would be the order this
morning. at which time it is understood
that final action will be had. AS to the
caucus every member was pledged to
secrecy and nothing of it's details could
be had from any one of the many mem
beTs present.
The full strength of the Senate viii

ception of Cecil Brown and S. W. Will
cox. Cecil Brown is expected to return
