able crime" and also lynchings; and
by Mr.. Reese, who laid stress upon
the present law, which leaves the jury

pointments when the legislature was
not in session shows that in a great
many of them the executive has post
poned action, where the resignation
was made to take effect at a future
time or where the previous term had
expired by its own limitations until
after the vacancy existed. In all prob
ability this postponement was caused
by belief on the part of the execu
tive that he had no authority to pro-
vide for filing vacancy until it ac-
tually occurred, or. at any rate, that
the question was so far in doubt that
it would be unsafe to make the APP
pointment in anticipation. The re-
port concluded: 1T has been sug-
gested that, if this construction be es-
tablished. it will be in the power of
the governor of a state to provide by
appointment for the filing of future
vacancies long before thew occur and
therefore, the viii of the people of the
state, as it exists at or near the
time of filling the vacancy, fail of
being carried into effect"
Other cases in which objection was
made to seating the senator elected
under circumstances similar to those
prevailing in this state at the present
time are the Tracy case in Connecti-
cut, 1901, The Sewer case of Arkan-
sas, 1897, in which Webster and Clay
voted against seating Mr.. Sewer, and
the Charlton case of Georgia, 1852.

Another bill recommended .or in
definite postponement was the
Hughes "anti-tights" bill. The author
earnestly urged the assembly to
give him an opportunity to be heard
on the bill and present some facts
which would tend to make the legis-
lature view the bill in a less hiiarf-
GUS mood. Mr.. Potter eloquently
named the anti-tights bin as the
most important piece of legislation
which had yet come before the as

ferred to the committee on public
health and sanitation" The assem-
bly,, almost unanimously voted to so

such soldiers as seemed to be guilt
less and unjustly punished.

much uncertainty exists as to when

favor of holding the election al

pediency is being carefully considered
in the headquarters of each candidate.
Many members, particularly those al

decline to declare themselves on their

ably because they wish to determine
whether the interests of their candi-
