 The galleries were fairly well filled
 when Senator Hughes was recog-

 words died away before Senator

 r. Ashurst.
 The nomination of both gentlemen
 was seconded by Judge Hechtman, w. w. Pace and Mir. Chase of Green

 earth today, which is Marcus A. Smith and Henry F. Ashurst." The nominations were seconded by Messrs. Davis. Harrison. Vessel and Lovin. All eyes were on the republican minority when Senator j. l.. Hub bell arose and said it gave him pleasure to second the nominations
 m behalf of the minority, for it was duty imposed on the legislature by the people and he believed that in such matters the will of the people
 is the will of God His predatory remarks led some to doubt what the
 end would be and when it came he was greeted with great applause. MT Willis Of Navajo also recorded his second to the nominations and on motion by c. E. Wood. nominations
