Goo late for last week on account of blizzard.)
The legislative session has now pass
d the halfway mark and is getting to
tie point where real results may be
ooked for. Both branches have in
dulged in practice games until by COM
mon consent certain men are looked
upon as leaders. This is not casting
any reflection upon those who seldom
make speeches on the floor, for 1T is
!act that often the most quiet of men
are the ones whose words have the
mCst weight. However, in the senate
such men as Dillon, Bates, Thoreson,
Curtiss, Scroggs, Byrne, Hare and
Norbeck woald PROBABLY appear In
.he selection of the first team. ln the
house there would be Taylor. Hebsl,
Issenhuth, Morris, Whiting, Larson OF
Minnehaha, Cable, Newell and half
dozen others. The game has not
,ay. Most of the bills passed in the
house so far have proceeded on their
say with plenty OF calm discussion
but very little oratory. The joint res

to the senate to say If it shall become a
