| the most important one In the Senate. but
| when the list OF committee appointments
! was read tonight his name was conspicu-
GUS by It's absence. Senator Grady's re
| fUsal 10 serve even as member OF any
committee was commented on by the Lieu
tenant Governor after the reading ot the
list
The omission OF the name Of very dis
tinguished Senator from the committee

The scarcity Of Democratic members
from rural districts was shown by the fact
that Senator O'Rrien. who comes from
thickly populated district ~ Brooklyn. was
named as chairman Of the Committee on
Agriculture.
The committee appointments were read
in the Assembly Immediately after the
adoptjon Of the revised rules I'm the
lower House with one or two exceptions
there were enough members who had had
previous experience In the Legislature to
fin all the charmanships one OF the most
noticeable things about the Assembly APP
pointments VAS the makeup Of the Excise
Committee II the liquor interests them
selves had the appointment OF this com
mittee they could not have been better sat
isfed al least so far as its chairman and
ranking members are concerned. The
chairman IS John g HaCkett. Of New York |
an OK bartender, and at present al aspi-
rant to another kind OF a bar, In that he
is seeking 10 become member OF the le-
gal profession. Ar. Hackett seems TO have
hoen unable 10 attain 10 that distinction
by the usual way and a few years ago
sought 10 do II by a special bill. Governor
Hughes. however, vetoed the bill. His first
assistant on the Excise Committee IS Ma
tin McCuc. an eX-saloon keeper. IL looks
as though the reformers would have a fine |
chance 10 get ANYTHING in the way Of leg |
lslation out OF that committee.
The majority leader a. +. Smith. by
virtue of his position. was made chairman |
~ the WAYS and Means Committee The |
obairmen of the other important commit |

s,,tarv. ChanIer. Of Dutchess Codes Foley. |
