AT THE STATE CAPITAL.

AT THE STATE CAPITAL
indianapolis, Ind, April 2s.-Thirty
thousand copies of the book containing
the acts of the recent session of the
legislature have been printed by the
state printer, and they have all been
delivered to the state authorities. 1t
is one of the largest volumes of acts
ever issued by a Legislature, because
of the unusual large number of
lengthy new laws passed.
The first copy for the book was
placed in the hands of the printer on
March 10, and the work was done with
a rush, because 1t was necessary for
all of the books to be out and dis
tributed so that the governor could
proclaim the laws in effect by May /.
That is the day on which the new pub
utilities law. which created the COM
mission comes into being. The public
utilities law, which created the COM
mission. says that the law shall become
effective on May 1, and a complication
might arise II the governor was una
BILE to issue his proclamation placing
all of the new acts in force by that
time.
Under the law the secretary of state
is required to send a certain number
of copies of the new acts to each
county clerk in the state for the use
of the respective counties. The county
clerk is required to send the secretary
of state a receipt for the books sent
to him, and as soon every clerk in
| the state has sent in his receipt and
| all of the receipts have been received
| by he secretary of state showing that
the books have been properly dis
| tributed the governor then issues his
| proclamation declaring the new laws
| in force The proclamation cannot be
| issued until all of the county clerks
receipts have been received.

service commission might find itself in

the utilities companies. 1t is quite GER
tain that they would be very willing Il

could knock out the commission.
1t is understood that nearly all o
the county clerks have sent in thei
receipts for the books, and the procla

Boise, Jan. 24.-On the first ballot
today, the thirty-first of the session,
James H. Brady of Pocatello, former

United States senator over field mum

Despite the effort at caucus Of op-

came when the name of Defenbach of

that it appeared impossible for a nor

the senator from Bonner announced
that inasmuch as the senatorship had
to come to the south, his choice among

was Brady. He was followed along a

Fight to Succeed Late Senator
Hepburn.

Chief Justice Ailshie last night is-
sued the following statement to the
members Of the legislature and the
people Of the state upon the recent
senatorial fight:
ITO the senators and representa-
tives of the Twelfth legislature as
sembly and the people of the state at
large:
"Now that the senatorial contest
is over, feel that it may not be in
appropriate for me to say a word to
my friends and the people generally.
The vote l have received affords me
much qualification, and the fact that
I was not successful in no way les
sens my sense of appreciation of the
loyalty with which l was supported.
Such support could come to me out
of no cause except a sincere wish to
accomplish my election. l am deeply
sensible Of the honor paid me by my
friends from all sections of the state.
The memory of their unselfish indus.
try in the promotion of my candi idacy
without hope or expectation of re-
ward other than the realization of
their desire for my election, shall al
ways afford me pleasure. To their
distinct credit all suggestion of
achieving my election through COM
binations affecting legislation or To-
cal interests here or there have at all
times been emphatically discounten-
anced by those espousing my cause.
The fact that fair and clean cam
paign has been conducted in my be-
half gives me sense of satisfaction
incompatible to any elation one
might feel through victory attained
in any other manner.
II shall go about my work in the
hope that may still be able to help
in the accomplishment of some OF
the many things. political and other.
wise, for which the people are striv-
ing and in some measure contribute
my quota of effort and labor for the
advancement of our state.''

Preside A superintendent Under
Present State Administration.

Governor John M. Haines has ap-
pointed DR.. F. II. Poole as superinten-
dent of the Idaho State Insane Asy-
lum, located in this city. Owing to
certain conditions DR.. Poole recently
rendered his resignation but the Oh
lection which DR.. Poole had to serv-
ing. were eradicated, and Governor
Haines rendered him the appointment
which he accepted DR.. Poole was
appointed superinte ndent of the insti
tuition by Governor Hawley and has
served in that capacity so satisfac-
torily that a large majority of the
democrats and republicans were OF the
opinion that for the best interests, of
the institution, he should be contjn-
ued in office. No rumor of scandal, nj
rumor of abuse has ever been circulat-
ed during DR.. Pooles administration
of affairs, and his re-appointment will
be welcome news to all who have dear
ones confined in the asylum. This
paper congratulate Governor Haines
on his choice In this matter.
