The Senatorial Committee.
Legislators are indulging in much
speculation now as to the committee
chairmanships in the two houses.
Their curiosity as to the senate will
probably be satisfied by Lieutenant
Governor Clarke Immediately after
the Inauguration ceremony Is COM
pleted, as Mr.. Clarke Is very prompt In
all his work and two years ago he
made his committee announcements
on Thursday. He has less work than
has Speaker Stil1man, however, for
the senate committee chairmen are ap-
pointed for the most part, on the
basis Of seniority, which rule Is not
followed in the house.
Senator Saunders of Council Bluffs
who was chairman of the committee
on railroads last session. wants to get
of that committee this time, and If he
Is successful he may be succeeded by
Senator Shirley Gilliland Of Mills
county, who was last sessions chair
man OF the committee on cities and
towns. Senator GilIiland and Senator
Saunders are both regarded as
aspirants for the position of chairman
OF the judiciary committee, apost that
was held last time by Senator C. G.
Dowell Of Polk county, who was not a
candidate to succeed himself in Office. |
Senator J. H. Allen Of Pocahontas
county, who last session headed the
committee on schools, would also like
to be chairman Of the Judiciary. He is |
a progressive. while Senators Saun-
ders and Gilliland are both starHdpat- |
ters. The last named is the ranking
on the judiciary committee
since the death Of Senator Whipple
OF Benton county. Although Governor
Clarke is q progressive he has always
dealt fairly as between his faction and
the standpatters and 1t is regarded as
probable that Gillilland will get the
committee II he wants it.
Senator Joseph Mates, the ranking +
