,r-or,or y l.. Dec. "a preliminary
ssssion OF the Legislature. at which all
or;einal bills shall be disposed or fol-
,a,rod bv session for the consideration
:, srcb measures as might be disap-
,roved or vetoed by Governor Wilson
,,se the programme mapped out for the
rext session by joint steering commit
zoe Of Republican Senators and Assem-
blvmen this afternoon.
The advantages Of such plan were
Considered from both practical and
,o,itical point Of view. The committee
decided that tho plan. if carried out in
conjunction with its other suggestions,
would eliminate much of the hasty and
m considered legislation which has
marked the closing hours of sessions in
the past,
TUon reconvening, the Governor in the
mean time having had opportunity to
examine all measures not already dis
nosed of. the Legislature could correct
any obvious errors which had crept into
otherwise desirable bills. To this extent
,be steering committees scheme was
purely practical.
As a matter Of politics the committee
thought it would he unwise to leave to
Presidential aspirant of an opposite
faith scores Of bills on which he would
have the last say, and the disposition of
which might conveniently be accompa-
MED by political essays intended for cir
culation throughout the country on the
very eve Of the national conventions.
BY coming back after a recess it was
figured that the Republican Legislature
would hold the whip hand by preserving
ifs right TO have the ultimate determina
ton Of what bills should be allowed to
fall by the wayside. Then, too, If there
should he any unexpected developments
during the critical political period next
spring the Legislature would still be ION
the job" and ready TO take hand in the
fray
This was the political side of the ques-
ton. and it received no less careful con-
sideration at the hands of the commit
lee than the mere adoption Of means 70
expedite business.
The findings of the committee were ex-
pressed in the following resolution,
drawn by Senator John d. Prince, of
Passaic. nominee Of the majority caucus
for president:
Resolved That this Joint committee
recommend 10 the respective Caucuses the
consideration of a resolution to be intro
duced on the opening day of the Gession
fixing the time for a temporary adjourn
ment, the Legislature to convene at later
date which will allow the Executive suf-
fccnt time 10 act upon all bills which Will
reach his hands after the date Of the
temporary adjournment.
Upon recOuVeuins no matter shall be con-
sdered other than those bills to which the
Governor objects.
The committee also undertook to see
that all bills necessary to carry out the
Republican campaign pledges were ready
for introduction early in the session. 1t
planned to have definite understanding
as TO which members would stand spon-
sor for each Of these measures.
Besides Senator Prince there were
present at the conference Senator Edge.
Of Atlantic the majority leader, and
Senator Leavitt, of Mercer; Assembly
man McCrane, Of Passaic, who proba bly,
will he Speaker; Assemblyman Whyto, Of
Camden. majority leader in the House,
and Assomblyman Holloway, Of Essex.
