COMMITTEES APPOINTED AND
RULES ADOPTED,
REPUBLICANS IN CONTROL
Kennedy Kicks on Report of the
Rules Committee and Stand
ing Committees.

Helena, Jan. 9.-The senate COM
mittees, which were appointed today
by the committee named for the pur-
pose, do not look we'll for the fusion
labor people. All the important posts
are safely in the hands of the repub-
lican members and those democrats
who are voting with them. The
judiciary committee has two demo-
Gratis and four republicans. Altogeth-
, ed the outlook for the Silver Bow con-
test is not pleasing for Tewey, for
the committee on privileges and cleo
lions has two republicans and three
democrats, all of whom, however,
are standing with the republicans.
The committee on rules is safely in
the hands of the majority, while mat
tiers of finance will be looked after by
four republicans and three democrats
who are standing with them. The
senate will get down to hard work
Monday and some lively contests be-

as the minority will stubbornly OPP
pose all moves made by the repub-
licans.
The members are taking their first
holiday, both houses adjourning this
afternoon until Monday.
In the Senate.
When the senate met the special
committee, consisting OF Hoffman,
Cullen and Meyer, offered it's report,
naming the standing committees. The
minority made an effort to question
the authority of this committee to
name the committee on rules, but
without avail. '''
The report named Hoffman, Gull
len and Meyer as the committee on
rules. When this report was offered
it was objected to by Kennedy, who
urged the minority not to vote until
it had time to study the proposed
rules.
Meyer stated that the only change
from the rules of the Seventh assem-
bly, was increasing the membership
of the judiciary, roads and bridges
and stockgrowing and grazing com
mittess from five to seven each.
Hoffman withdrew the c%onsidera-
ton of the rules for the present be-
cause of the objections offered.
The report naming the standing
committees was then read which
made the following appointments:
