Names of Those Who Serve as
Officers In the House
And Senate.
JOSEPH CREATES AN OFFICE.
II is That of House Janitor and Goes
To Colored Constituent In Recog-
milton of Party Loyalty.

When 1t came to lnauguratlng the
president Of the senate today. and the
speaker of the house, the way was so
well prepared that not the slightst
hitch occurred in nrearranged plans.
The caucus did the work It brought
forward Harry Robinson of Bingham
and Rudolph Kuchler Of ogden as the
men marked TO sit at the right and lefs
hand sides respectively of Speaker
Harry Joseph. The significance OF the
senate caucus was only that President
Love had been trid and was known TO
his fellow members. They said they
could bank on his giving square deal
to everybody
The personnel of the officers is as en-
pected for the most part. although the
Alfalfa club" In the senate adminis-
tered a dose OF smelter smoke to the
friends of Rev. p, A. Simpkin, in select
ing Anton Nelson OF Emery county as
chaplain. This happened through the
method mentioned in Saturday even
ing News of so distributing the
senate honors that every member has
chance TO hand a slice to his dear
constituents" TO demonstrate beyond
the need of any further providing that
no senator can hang any bouquets on
him In the matter of picking plums at
the capital. There are just is officers
of the senate,-lS--count 'em. There
are Just is senator's, and Salt Lake had
its share before the chaplain was
chosen.
The officers include two messengers,
whose duty will be TO walk from the
ink stand to the pay roll with pen In
hand ready TO sign. and other incident
al tasks. There Is one stenographer at
large, and four committee clerks. The
stenosrapher at large will probably do
the work of all the committees, and Is
no doubt able TO take shorthand by die
tation. There are watchmen two. The
precious duo Will watch. That is GER
tain. What they will have to watch is
another matter, and one that Is for no
cruel public to pry into. They served.
however, TO fill in between choice pie
crust for Weber county and Tooee
county delivery. Two door keepers do
similar duty for the counties OF Wash
ington and Morgan, and help make the
total number of offices Just IS.
peculiar thing about that number
of 49, 1t could never be 49, or II
couldn't take on five more and become
90. The only alteration that the pre-
cedent of a long established COMPETE
ton IN pie cutting would allow would
be to make 1t two around and run the
number UP to 30.
CAMPBELL THE CHOICE.
The senate sprung a surprise in the
choice of a secretary. 1t polished up
its choicest platter. and handed TO r.
5. Campbell the position neatly placed
thereon. Mr. Campbell was not a
candidate. which made the token all
the more appreciated.
In the house Alexander Buchanan,
Jr,, will preside as secretary. which is
something of a surprise to the friends
of Mr. Vigus. Mr.. Buchanan has long
L, III
er, and was formerly a newspaper
man in this city. Mr. Vigus also ran
in the voting to the degree of getting
votes while Buchanan polled total
of 20. Harry Joseph carried out of
winning in the caucus with vote of
four to one. He secured IS to : for
Marks and was afterwards accused
of fixing the ballots by getting enough
of his friends to vote against him to
make the right proportion.
PLACE FOR CoLoRED MAN.
Joseph did not celebrate his cleo
ton with a speech. but by moving
that nav office be created--that of
tanitor--to take care OF colored con-
stituent. in order to do something for
those colored people who had sup
ported him last fall. Robert Huston
