Special to Times-Republican.
Dea Moines, Jan. 1s.-With both
houses taking . recess and many OF the
members at homo for over Sunday It
need not be anticipated there will be
very much doing in regard to the sem
atorship until next Tuesday. The sta
tus IS said to be unchanged. The
standpatters are firmly declaring they
will never let the legislature follow
the advice Of the governor. Claims for
other candidates are being made by the
Interested persons. but II one makes
the rounds and asks all he will realize
that perhaps nobody knows much
about It.
The acceptance Of the position Of
corporation counsel for Des Moines. by
II. w. Byers will not In any way lessen
his chances and he is not to be consid-
cred out Of the race. The disnified
and somewhat reserved manner the
former attorney general has main
tained toward the campaign has great
ly strengthened him before the legis-
lators, and there is not a particle
of doubt he will be strongly sup
ported.
Lieutenant Governor Clarke took a
fall out Of those local critics who,
when he was being considered candi-
date for the senate, intimated that he
might deliberately make use Of his po-
sition to advance his cause with the
senator's. He confessed frankly that
this had hurt him. He made 1t very
before naming the committees, that he
would never be guilty Of any such use
Of the office he held. 1t was the basis
OF the talk that was started about that
time In local Newspaper OFFICES Of the
necessity for taking from the presiding
officers pf tho two houses the right OF
naming the committees. It was evident
from the applause given him that the
senator's themselves had no sympathy
with this narrow view Of the matter.
The attack on the Office Of printer
and binder was started again for this
session by Senator Hammill, Of Han
cock county, who introduced a bill
Yesterday to place the whole matter in
the hands Of the governor and his as
sociates Of the executive council, as
recommended by Governor Carroll. and
to authorize the council to handle the
entire business. This includes the op-
portunity to have the work done at the
state institutions. At the boys school
at Eldora and the reformatory at Ana
mosa there are extensive printing
plants, which are In fact already do
ing q great deal Of the printing for the
state and cheaper than 1t can be done
in the open market by free labor.
Senator Quigley fathers a bill to per-
nit the county attorney or sheriff, with
the consent Of the board Of supervisors,
to employ detectives in the work Of
ferreting out crime. Complaint was
made at the time Of the adoption Of
laws 60 give these officers additional
responsibility that there was no way
they could secure detective work ex-
cept at their own expense.
Polk county wants an additional
Judge Of the district court. Senator
Sullivan introduced the bill to give the
county this extra Judge, making FIVE in
ALL He also introduced bill to permit
Polk county to pay its county attor-
ney $4,000 year: also a bill to author
ize additional county attorneys II
deemed necessary.
Senator aammis introduced q bill fix-
ing limitation ON the time for COM
mencing actions in settlement Of title
to real property.
have power brakes Of some kind other
than operated by hand, is the feature Of
bill BY Sullivan. Two years ago the
local street railway maintained a lobby
which defeated a similar bill; now the
cars are in fact being equipped with
air brakes. Sullivan also has a bill in
to require cars to have center aisles of
not less than two feet in width.
Tho best joke Of the Inauguration Is
on Senator Smith, who had charge of
the ceremonies. He had got thru the
program 10 far as to have the oath ad-
ministered to Lieutenant Governor
George w. Clarke, and he gravely an
nounced:
"The oath Of Office will now be ad-
ministered by Chief Justice Sherwin
to Beryl F.
And there he stopped. He looked
over his glasses to see the name, there
was an awkward pause, and he finally
recalled 1t and said:
~Carroll"
whereupon the whole Joint conven-
tion broke into q laugh, and the SEN
ator from Mitchell Joined heartily.
An irreverent progressive insisted
that the name Of the governor had
simply been lost to sight and came
near being wholly forgotten A wicked
standpatter said that the trouble was
that Senator Smith, who has presided
sat numerous such gatherings, had got
30 used TO seeing the name Of Cum
nlahs q the program that for . time
