 "That is a matter to be decided later. one of them replied btu one thing is sure. and that is tlla2 Senator Adams will be met with resolution of expulsion Immediately after of@aniZation.
 There was much discussion as to whether the senate could eN- Del through resolution or whether there should be an investigation through a committed report and Impeachment proceedings through the house. as in other cases. It Is the consensus of opinion that the senate is given full control of it's membership. and that there will be no impeachment proceedings.

JOHN IKE MOORE
 S I CERTAIN With the Withdrawal of Otis Wlngo He Is Given Stuff icent Votes to Insure Him Presidency of Senate.
T. w. MILAN OPPOSES
Speaker>hip Contest Still in Doubt Little Rock Thr0nged With Law Makers, Candidates and Others Who Are Interested.

The election of Senator John Ike Moore, of Helena to the presidency of the State Senate seems to be q set tied fact. Such was the information received from the Graphic's Little Rock representative last night.
 At caucus of the Senators in the capital city last night twentyfour Senators appeared at Senator Moore's $ headquarters and announced them- selves for him. first, last and all the time
 Senator Otis Wingo, who was prom inently mentioned for the honor, with drew from ihe race, leaving Senator Tom w. Milan of Garland county, the only one to oppose Senator Moore. IL is conceded that Mr. Moore will be chosen by rhe caucus Monday and his name the only one to be presented to the Senate when it convenes on that day.
 The speakership contest is still bad ly mixed. there being as many as a half dozen avowed candidates, each having d goodly number of followers Resides thAre are several dark horses , including Ollie \. E-1lough, of Cross
 county, who seems to be favorite second choice of nearly all the con- tending factions.
 Indications now point to a battle l royal and that it will be Tuesday or ] Wednesday before the speakershil i contest is finalIy settled All the hotels are crowded with members of both branches of the Leg islature and the usual crowd of candi-
 dates among the fairer sex for minor positions. The young Democrat is there, too. asking for the pageship. i When the gavels fall Monday there
 will be something of a lively nature doing around the crumbing State l house building.
