citizens are offered through the asso-
ciated charities the chance to be good
fellows this Christmas if they are so
disposed.
Miss Mary w. Lindley, a secrtary of
the organization reports at least sixty
children who will be without a Merry
Christmas this year unless the public
provides the good cheer that will make
the occasion one for them She also
reports four new born babies who
came into the world without any prep
aration in the way of clothes, and is
DESTROYS of having a 'stork shower"
which will be the means of providing
these unfortunate with the necessary
wardrobes.
To this end anybody feeling charit-
ably disposed is asked to communicate
with Miss Lindley. preferably by let
ter as she is out of her office much
of the time that the telephone is un
satisfactory. and let her know that
they have something to donate, either
in the way of clothing. toys. money.
The clothing need not be new. Out
grown clothes of no further use to the
previous wearer. but still holding to-
gether will be found very useful by
some Cnlld In THIS Dltter weather, the
only requisite being that there is still
some wear left in it. and that it is
clean. Miss Lindley will gladly ar
range to take care of whatever the
public has to offer in this connection
and tosee to its proper distribution.
Some of the cases are very sad" said

the state officials and some on the
outside. and it is generally understood
that the plan to take charge of the
meeting today is in line with the
proposition of this steering committee
to see that things are done at the com
ing session
Everybody expects tho coming ses-
sion OF the Legislature to be one OF
turmoil. There are so many new men
in the House--men that have never
been heard of before in state politics.
that no one can even hazard a guess
on what kind of House there will
be this time. These men may be all
right and some of them may be all
wrong. At least there is an element
of uncertainty that has been bothering
the party leaders greatly Some say
that this is the reason for the appoint
ment of the steering committee outside
the Legislature and the calling to-
gether of the outside hosts today 1t
is planned to have Gov. Marshall and
Gov. Ralston make speeches to the
members today and also for several
other leaders to have a chance to ex-
press their views what ought to be
done.
Some of the Representatives resent
this action. which they denounce as
interference with their rights and
duties as Legislators. and they say
they are not going to stand for It,
Whether they will maintain this at
titude. however. remains to be seen
The organization lash is pretty
hard thing to ignore.
Already there appears to be a wide
diversity of opinion as to the policy
the Legislature ought to pursue. Some
of the members who arrived early
were saying that the Legislature ought
to pass only such laws as are declared
for in the state platform which, in
fact, does not declare for anything.
Others take the position that the party
made certain promises and pledges in
the campaign that were not contained
in the platform. and that it ought to
make good, now. and put through the
entire program for which it declared in
| this way. This will be one of the sub
| jects up for discussion at the meeting
! this afternoon.
