IN THE HOUSE.

Delegate Csburn, of Hartford, offered a
resolution similar to that of Senator
Harper's in the Senate, but it was
promptly referred to the Committee on
Rules. and is not likely to reappear. The
House will probably stick to their GUS
tom Of having a special committee to
select the minor officers, such as door
keepers, messengers, folders, engrossing
clerks, etc, Contests were filed in the
House against five Republican delegates
from Baltimore City by their defeated
Democratic opponents. There does not
seem much likelihood, however, that the
contests will be pushed. 1t is possible
that the Speaker of the House will sign
an order for a new election in Caroline
TO decide between the two Republicans
who were tied in the vote for the House.
The Governors message was furnished
to the members in printed form, and was
not read owing to its great length and
having been given out beforehand to the
newspapers.

MARYLAND LEGISLATURE CONvENES--C CECIL
SHARES PATRONAGE--WARBURTON
FLOOR LEADER OF THE HOUSE

, Immediately after Offering his order,
Senator Harper took the floor, and held
1t for nearly one and half hours. Said
he: None can be blind to the fact that
| there has been an awakening of the pub
lie conscience or to the fact that this has
in turn caused an awakening of the poll
tical conscience We, as senators here,
are trustees of the people, bound in a
trusteeship that demands we exercise the
utmost care in the expenditure of their
money"
He then referred to the expenditures
for the last session of the General AS
seinbly, and said: 81 cannot stand here
and try to defend the expenditures made
In 1910. While some of us opposed those
expenditures, we as body sanctioned
expenses and extravagances which are
indefensible." He then quoted figures
from the Comptgoller's reports, showing
that there had been steady increase in
the cost of thf legislative sessions in
the past ten years and showing particu-
.. larly that the Senate In 1910 with ~
members had more employees than did the
House with over 100 members. He call
ed attention to the fact, that while he
session were too great, they were $1,000
less than those of the Senate.
Continuing, he said: There seems to
be an impression that the president of
the Senate must have the power of these
appointments, but the very abuses we are
trying to get rid of are the outgrowth of
that system. There Is no constitutional
provision or consent to such power
The State Constitution plainly says the
Senate shall appoint its own officers This
Is plain mandate
The great trouble" said Senator Har-
per, - is that we feel we have got to
bring crowd of men down here from
the counties and from the city for pure
ly political purposes who cannot do the
work that is required of them"
Senator Moore then took the floor to
urge the adoption of a substitute order,
which he sent to the reading clerk 8
desk. This order provided the appoint
ment of the same NUMBER of employees,
but allowed the president to appoint such
additional ones as the developments of
this session showed were necessary when
the Senate SO directed.
Senator Lee, in opposing the substi-
tutel and unfolding the original order OF
Senator Harper, called attention to the
nationwide. awakening of Democrats,
and cited the casa of Champ Clark, as
speaker of the National House of Repre-
sentatives, who had agreed to the cur
tailment of the powers of his Office and
the placing Of this power on the Shout
ders of the whole body.
President Price then put the question
on the adoption of Senator Moore's sub
stitute, which was lost by vote of 16
to II, the vote being as follows:
Nays-Senators Benson, Coady, Croth-
ers, Dodson, Duke, Emmert, Goslin, Har-
per, Lee, Matthias, Melbourne, Snader,
