ing. The real Tillpan tilt took place
in the council chambers among those au-
gust legislatures who have heretofore
held aloof from petty discussions. The
house had very short session. the mos
important motion passed being the one

The biggest development today was th,
agreement upon committees in the coun

degraff; federal relations. Winkler.
/ The discussion in the council arouse
3 over the proposal of Senator Geo. T.
/ Webster of Weatherford TO employ an
other page. The senator from Custor
county made q very simple talk for his
constituent.
Senator Felix L. Winkler OF Kingfisher
arose and protested against the en-
ployment o fany further help. He de-
clared that already the government was
put to too great expense.
Senator John Calvin Foster then arose
and delivered a thrilling plea for boy,
whom he said was the son of a poor
widow who had no means of supporting
him.
Senator r. NJ. Campbell OF oklahoma
county then made himself heard.
''rhe legislature is not a body organ
lied for oharitys sake said ne. and it
should rot be used as such. Ii is an out
rage that we have hired the help we
have. The ianitor force Of this body alone
costs nearly $50 a day. Gentlemen,
an afraid that when L go back home l
viii not have anything to do, or rather
VIII not be able to do anything. l viii
have forgotten how TO work. Here there
is Niger to take your hat, and a mig
ger to hang your coat up for you, and
by George, YOU can hardly raise out OF
your chair without their assistance. l
understand, gentlemen. that there is talS
ofo I
test. l ask to know what this second
doorkeeper is for. 1t cannot be answered.
All I can say is that / hope the time viii
never come when ] am not able to get
through the door without the assistance
of one"
Senator Foster was on his feet in
second and delivered this sarcastic tirade
against the Oklahoma City representa-
tive. q town that has fought Guthrie
70 rio, these many years.
Gentlemen: 1 milk a COW every night
and water and feed her every day. IL
for no other reason than to give our
friend from Oklahoma City a chance to
keep his hand in. l will lend him that
COW while he is here and he can milk
twice a day if he chooses
They voted on one important Tesou-
ton this morning. and that was one made
By r. F. Nisbet forbidding the smoking
Of cigars or pipes in the house or lobby
during the session. The vote was hardly
taken till someone discovered that the
rules already accomplished this puritani-
cal measure.
Speaker Bowles has announced none OF
his committees as yet. but has been con-
ferring with representatives in relation
thereto. II is hoped that by tomorrow.
when a few members will meet. that
these committees will be appointed
1t is stated on good authority that
the stenographer TO be appointed by him
will be Ray Pratt of Perry.
The members are about equally divided
as to age So far these on the yonder
side of the divide have done the most
talking. The young men are a sturdy lot
and before the legislature is done with
it's duties the young men Will rule it.
An observing Democrat said this morn
ing to the correspondent for the Eagle:
The Republican minority in this house
IS the strons faction. and they will take
things in their own hands when The or
perfume time comes"
The governors message was received
by all with much favor. but there are
plenty who take exceptions TO certain
things he has recommended. For instance
not all concur in the governors opinion
that the herd law should be passed. af-
fecting all parts Of Oklahoma alike. There
are several representative who VII take
"a stand against this and there are an
equal number who are foT Il and viii in
trcduce the necessary measure. Il is
very probable that the bill win 50
through with an amendment making Ger
tani exceptions.
