can members OF the state senate
have fed from the state and refuse
TO take part in the organization OF
the senate.
The state senate consists Of 80 and
the remaining 10 democrats have
organized the senate. The problem
is whether the organization is legal
This reaches directly to the question
whether United States senators can
be elected lawfully In this situation
A vide difference OF opinion exists
at the capitol. Some lawyers view
the matter one way and some an
other. Republican lawyers are in
clined to hold that with the Is re-
publieans absent from the senate,
less than a quorum Is left and the
senate cannot be lawfully organized.
Some OF the democrats, however,
point out that four republicans
elected last November have not ap-
peared and qualified. The full SEN
ate Is 80. but with these four un-
qualified 1t consists. the democrats
say. of 26. Fifteen would be a
quorum in body OF that number.
According 10 reports from Charles
ton, democrats Of the state senate
are making oyertures to the Is re-
publieans who fed to Cincinnati.
Governor Glasscock, Il is said, will
refuse 10 sign the commissions OF
the United States senators when
they are elected unless the senate
gets together. and this may result in
a compromise, being effected.
