SENATORS IN A PANIC,
FEAR LOSS OF SEATS
Legislative Day of March 4
Created, Contrary to All
the Precedents.

For the first time in the history of the
government the expiring gasp of short
session Of Congress was prolonged today
beyond the legislative day of March =
and into the legislative day Of March 4.
The precedent was set in the Senate. and
for time caused retiring senator's to
fear that they might be ousted from
their seats before the labor of the Sixty
first Congress was done. 1t happened
this way:
inadvertently a motion was adopted
yesterday to the effect that the Senate
session of today was to begin at am
The custom had been to take a recess
until the time agreed upon for the meet
ing on the calendar day of March 4, but
early this morning the Senate adjourned
the legislative day of March 3. When the
Senate reconvened, therefore, it was for
both the legislative and calendar day
of March 4.
Not in Constitution.
AS soon as it became noised about that
a custom had been violated, senator's be-
gan a hasty examination Of precedents
Several members said that the terms OF
senators not reelected to the new Con-
gress expired when the legislative day
of March ) was adjourned at 7:45 o'clock
this morning. They sought to prove their
point by reference to the Constitution.
and then fou2d that their knowledge
of that ancient document was imperfect
Even some of the constitutional law
yers went wrong. and were surprised to
learn that the question was not covered
by the Constitution at all
In the meantime, Senators Hale, Kean,
Beveridge, Carter. Dick and the others
who were concluding their services be-
came somewhat uneasy. Senator Gal
linger was in the chair He referred the
question to Henry II. Gilfry, the Senate
parliamentarian.
Merely Matter Of Custom.
After long search IT was discovered
that, while the Senate never had had a
legislative day of March for the pur-
pose of winding up a session of Congress,
there was no reason except custom for
that fact. The precedent on that sub
ject. as laid down by Mr.. Gilfry, and by
decisions by the United States Senate
on points of order. is as follows:
1.-The session of that day terminates (by
constitutional limitation1 at II O'Clock
meridian. March 4. when the birth of a
new Congress takes place"
For the first time. therefore. leaders of
the Senate learned that the calendar day
is superior to the legislative day in de-
termining parliamentary situations.

1t was Senator Hepburn who precipitat-
ed a discussion of the direct primary and
the recall features OF the Arizona con-

iona could be acted upon at the same

there is no doubt that direct elections wi IL
