tion made possible the selection of
l.. s. Pardee of Akron for the position
of recording clerk of the Senate. Mr..
Pardce's name was presented in the
caucus by Senator Longworth, of Gin
cinnati, and his only competitor for the
position was w. ID. H0wclls, Of Ash
tabula county, who had the berth two
years age. Pardee received ~ votes
and IIowells .. The latter's name was
placed in nomination by Senator Har-
ris. of Ashtabula county.
The Foraker fnction in the Senate
held preliminary caucus and framed
up n slate, which included the name of

power to dictate the personnel of the
various committees. This committee

Senator Foraker. Senators Harris and
others protested against the adoption
of the resolution, but without avail.
