BY LEWIS III. #MACHEN.
AZ the Capitol yesterday there was a
3lull after the storm OF the day before.
As had been predicted, however. NUT
5terings about the defeat on Friday OF
the bill to provide for the popular
election OF the members OF the State
Corporation Commission promptly
arose. In fact. new bills were intro
d,iced In both the House and the Sem
ate. almost Identical with tho defeated
measure, the only change being as to
the date OF the first election.
Tho original bill provided for an
election OF commissioner by the peo-
5Ele in November. 1903. but was amend
4 ed In the Senate, which changed the
time to 1911. Tie new proposition is
To have the first election In 1913.
Whether or not this difference In de-
tall Is sufficient to allow areopening
or tile main question is matter not
altogether clear. On the one hand. 1t
Ia argued that provision for the first
election at a different time makes the
whole proposition a new one. on thu
other, 1t Is claimed that the object
or both proposals is the same. and that
IL such minor changes could allow
closed matters to be reopened 1T would
be impossible 10 settle any question
except by n final adjournment OF the
legislature. The point appears to be
a novel one. and. Its determination Is
awaited with moro than ordinary in
