reasons, but the criticism aroused, inas-
much as Harris is as popular as he is ef-
ficient. caused them to abandon Topping
within day and substitute Harris. Inc
latter, however. insisted on performing
his duties formally. and as the clerk OF
the old body called the senate to order
and invited Kidd to the chair. There
was the usual prayer and other conven-
tional opening exercises, but the repub-
lican members absented themselves and
avoided q working body. Sixteen men,
bers are required and the membership of
thirty Is divided equally.
Threat to Unseat Melaber.
Besides their fears that the democrats
would redistrict the state to their own
advantage the republicans are alarmed
lest the democrats would unseat Hearne
and put in his place Caldwell, his demo-
cratic opponent At the late election in the
Wheeling district. Caldwell. Aho was de-
feated by 143 votes. Notwithstanding he
got no satisfaction with q recount OF the
three counties In the district, has filed
contest on the ground that there were
cast in Brooke and Hancock counties $50
unregistered votes, and he claims to have
aflidavits to support his contentious. The
election commissioners accepted unregb-
tered voters who made oath as to their
legality. II 10 stated. A...
Probably the democrats might not un-
seat Hearne II allowed to have the senate
presidency, since in case Of a tie the
president could vote twice, but that Is
only conjecture. They have threatened

must necessarily be In abeyance until the
tie in the state senate us adjusted.
At this writing neither the fifteen re-
publicans nor the fifteen democrats were
disposed to yield the senate presidency.
and each side refused to give up that
point in exchange for other patronage.
The presidency is the main and vital con-
sideration.. because 1t involves the decid-
ing hand in some more or less important
questions to come up later. Particular
and. perhaps. paramount In political con-
sideration Is the question or redistrfcting
the state. Both parties are anxious
about this The republicans are not In
sufficient numbers to redistrict, but II
they could hold the fort in the senate
they could block any house redistricting
bill and keep the state district lines as at
present, which on the whole suit them.
Fail in strat,gi> Move.
. At the outset the democratic senator's
agreed to give the senate cIerkship to q
republican. John T. Harris Of Parkers-
burg. who has filled that position since
the republicans came Into power.s The
constitution provides that the senate shall
be called to order by the clerk, who shall
call to the chair the oldest senator in
point OF service. This senator happens to
be Robert F. Kidd, democrat. also the
democratic caucus nominee for president.
The republican caucus decided on Senator
England for president and Mout L. Top
ping for clerk. Their choice of Topping
was to get away from Harris for strategic
