Helena, Jan. 12.-The second week
of the legislature will have as an
early matter for consideration the dis
position of the United states senator
ship. This will go to 7. j. Walsh
without contest
The proposed investigation of the
Carey land board win be the occasion
for a lively scrimmage, and the pros
poets are that the name of cX-Gov-
ernor Norris viii play an important
part. The report of the Whiteside
committee of the last session which
referred to one act of the Norris ad-
ministration in scathing terms has
been dug up as material with which
to cnliNon the discussion.
The anti publicity faction in the
house threatens to renew the fight
over the employment of a stcnog-
rapher ana is claiming recruits suffi-
cicnt to reverse the former action OF
the house. The crowd that wants to
do business on the quiet is hard to
keep down.
Hurd Again?
From inside circles comes the story
that an effort is to be set on foot to
continue the employment of Attorney
Hurd, now the law partner of ex-
Governor Norris, to continue as spe-
cial counsel for the state IN the pro-
posed suits to recover for the benefit
Of the stock fund. The state has al
ready spent $4,000 with the net re-
suit that 1t has been informed that 1t
may bring suits to recover $4,000.
Therefore, the scheme to appropriate
$4,000 yearly to continue Attorney
Hurd as special prosecutor will meet
with some obstacles.
Bills to enable cities and towns to
levy taxes for the construction Of
municipal lighting plants will be in
troducod simultaneously in both
houses during the week, and there will
be a vigorous effort to press them
along to a determinations
The two democratic factions in tho
house are reported to have agreed
upon a rule for u savcn-day limit
upon n rule for Il seven day limit
port. The progrcssives will support
the rule, though they have preferred
a five day limit.
Concerning Consolidation.
There is growing feeling for tho
appointment of "A commission to which
the plan for consolidated university
shall be referred, the commission to
report to the governor and to suggest
not less than two alternative locations
on which the people shall vote at the
next general election. 1t Is becoming
pretty well understood among tho
members that certain corporation in
flucnces have been very active in
bringing this matter forward, and that
certain very cstimablc citizens are un-

thing that shall be a bone Of conten-
uon to the exclusion of reform lcgis-
lation generally.
The announcement of committee ap-
pointmchts by Speaker Macdonald Is
on the program for very early in tho
week. This announcement will prob
ably have a very marked effect upon
the alignment in the house between
the rcactionaries and their opponents.

HoodIums Attack Suffragists.

WASHINGTON, March A. Five
thousand women, marching in the
women's suffrage pageant, virtually
fought their way foot by foot up Penn
sylvsnia avenue, through a surging
mob that completely deied the Wash
ington police, swamped the marchers
and broke their procession into little
companies. The women, trudging
stoutly along under great difficulties,
we're able to complete their march only
when troops Of cavalry from Fort
Meyer we're rushed into Washington
to take charge of Pennsylvania ave-
nue. No Inauguration has ave pro-
duced such scenes, which in many in
stances amounted to nothing less than
riots.
Before Woodrow Wilson has been
president many hours he will receive
a resolution adopted at the sutfragist
mass meeting last night after the suf.
fragette parade along Pennsylvania
avenue.

CITIZEN TAFT.

Al o recent public function in

ferred to Mr.. Tat, as the worst lick
ed, the least sore aud the best liked
president" in American history. The
aptness of this description will be
appreciated by citizens who are famil.
lar with recent events.
The departure Of MIR. Taft from
w ashington afforded IN opportunity
for public expression of the friendship
and esteem entertained by most Of his
fellow citizens. According to the press
dispatches, it was one of the great
features of inauguration day although
efforts were made to avoid Interior
ence with the popular welcome accord.
ed to his successor. 1t must have
been highly gratifying to Mr.. Taft, as
he became a private citizen, to re-
ceive such a farewell greeting from
the inauguration multitude.
The good nature with which Mr.. Taft
accepted defeat in the presidential cleo
ton appealed to his fellow citizens
throughout the country. The Ameri-
q people admire q good loser in
any contest for supremacy, and Mr..
Taft has earned that admiration by
his attitude and public addresses since
he failed Of reelection.
The peculiar political conditions
which resulted in making Mr.. Taft a
privat citizen will not obscure the
fact that his administration com.
pares favorably with those of his pre-,
decessors. There was no great ma
tional crisis to give his administers
ton q prominent place in American
history, but MIR. Taft's management,
OF national affairs was marked by
Conscientious performance OF public
duty without regard to its effect upor
his political future. His c~onceptio,
of what was best for tho public vel.
fare vas his guide at all times.
The record made by Mr.. Taft ant
his administers alton In vigorous en-
forcement OF the law, his courage /,
using the veto power against legisla
ton that be considered unwise or un
constitutional, his refusal to be in
1luenced or lntimid ated by threats O
political extinction, and his accept
ance of unpleasant conditions withou
any feeling of soreness, are feature
that commend the retiring.spresiden
to public esteem.

Wilson became president of the United
Stated today amid imposing cere
monies and tumultuous scenes of popu'
lar greeting. Standing at the historic
east front Of the capitol, he took the
constitutional oath of Office and IL
his brief inaugural address made 9
fervid appeal to all patriotic men TO,

"This is not a day Of triumph" he
declared; ''it 10 . day of dedication.

Vice President Marshall had been
insugurated in the. senate chamber
only shortly before and at the conclu.
sion of President Wilson's inaugural
address, the party hurried back to the
White house, ahead of the inaugural
procession, where Mi. Taft said good.
bye to President Wilson and prepared
to leave at M for Augusta, Ga.
President Wilson shortly after took
his place to review the procession.
A burst of applause and cheers
greeted Champ Clark as he passed on
to the inaugural stand at the head OF
the line of house members.
Speaker Clark leaned toward Presi-
dent-Elect Wilson and the two shook
hands, bringing more applause from
the crowd. Applause came from the
crowds near the entrance Of the capt.

emerged, swelling into . large volume
as William J. Bryan came forward
with the other guests comprising the
membership Of President Wilson's
cabinet.
The street pageant was the climax

which had Just taken place at the sen-

With the last word of swearing in

from Capitol hill and breasted to.
