APPOINTMENTS Held UP
Opposition To several Other AppOin-
tees of Governor Developed In
Special Session.

ciaL) The remaining two members OF
the state board of education were
elected from office today when tho
special session Of the state senate
called by Governor Cruce to settle the
school fight refused to confirm the
appointment of Brandenburg and
Warren by Governor Cruce.
Through this action by the senate
both Of the two school factions have
been elected from office and a clean
slate must be appointed by the gov
ernor, What attitude the governor
will take on the matter has not yet
been made known.
The action taken by the senate In
rejecting the three board members
last Saturday and the other two today
is more of a victory for the schools
Of the state than ii is for either the
governor and the faction that was
fighting him.
With several members Of the SEN
ate threatening to leave for home
Tuesday whether the sessions adjourn
ed or not and several important mat
ters still up in the air, it was doubt
full last night whether the special ses-
sion would end today
A resolution introduced by Senator
Roddle and passed by the senate
seeks to determine from the state
board of affairs and the code CON-
missioners appointed by the 1911 leg
is.ature, why work on the code has
been stopped and the code never pub
lished. Senator Thomas in a resolu.
lion requested from state treasurer
an itemized statement of all sources
Of state revenue and the amounts col
lected since statehood and the income
produced by the income, inheritance
corporation, gross revenue and pro-
duction taxes. Senator Russell called
on the clerk Of the supreme court to
file with the senate "A list of all su-
preme court cases during the year
1912, where the judgment exclusive
Of the costs Of the case did not eX-
ceed $40 and a list Of the civil suits
filed in the past year.
The gusernatorial appointments
were taken up in executive session.
The two remaining members Of the
board of education were quickly dis
posed of. There was some opposi-
ton to the confirmation of State
Highway Commissioner Sidney Suggs,
but more upon the grounds of the
need of such a department than per-
sonal. The vote against Mr.. Suggs
was light and he had the honor OF
being the first man confirmed by this
session of the senate. The appoint
ments Of Superintendent Adams Of tho
Vlnita asylum, State Fire Marshal
Hammonds and j. A. Stine of the
board of control of the Fort Supply
asylum were rushed through without
opposition.
The first snag of the day was struck
when the rest of the appointments
were taken up and although the sen.
ate was unsaally secretive as to the
derstood that immediate confirmation
Of State Game Warden John B. Doo-
lin Of Alva and LON Frame Of tho
board of affairs was baked 1t is pos
sble that these appointments may go
over until the regular session next
month.
A secret committee was appointed
to look into the appointments Of GER
tain men and report back to the SEN
ate tomorrow. The members of tho
state election board were not taken
up.
It is possible that a committee may
he appointed to look up the records
OF certain appointees and that the
session meets when this report Will bs
heard
The split between old members led
by Congressman elect Joe Thompson
and Senator Beuben Roddle and tho
newly elected senator's that bobbed up
in the opening days Of the session
has appeared again in the committee
naming committees for the regular
session and the old members are be-
ing given the cold shoulder"
The Aycock- -Langston contest is de-
veloping the sharp feeling and al
though Senator John Burford OF
Guthrie is determined to argue the
matter before the senate today IT may
be held over for the regular session
to decide.
