STARTS OFF WELL.

Tue preliminary work OF the

sembly promises we'll. 1t is
clearly manifest that the Demo-
cratic majority appreciate the
responsibility attaching to their
espectlve posi- - ions and that
this is to be business session
from start to finish.
Possibly never before in the
history of the state did the law
making body come more d rect
from the people and more
definitely realize that they are
the representatives of the
people who sent them. The
work of the session will be COM
menced, continued and ended
under the pressure and influence
of "the folks at home. Every
member has a very pronounced
realization that his respective
constituents are the power be-
hind the throne and that to them
must an account be given OF
their official act at the state
capital.
The caucus resolution limiting
the clerical force to q certain
number and within clearly de-
fined limits has the ring of econ
omy about it. as we'll as OF bus
mess methods. The session is
to be one.of supreme import
ance to the state1and it is well
that the Democrats are in the
majority in both branches of
the assembly. Faithful and in
