 OFFICER SHOW
Four Men Talked of for Headship of Senate, Four for Speakership of House When Legislature Meets Next Year

| u
 With the second state legislature away already there has been a lot of wire pulling on the proposition Of the oIflcerships for that body anl the probability of certain factions in the :emocratlc party controlling the de- Alterations of both the senate aud the house. The last legislature had eight Republicans in it, four in the senate and four in the house, but this ses- sion of the law making body of the state will contain only one republi- can, Dell Crabbe of Navajo county. That MT. Crabbe will either have the hardest possible time that was ac- corded any legislator or else he will have perfect snap is generally ad mltted on both sides of the propos' = ton.
 Four candidates nave made their Appearance for the presidency of the second senate, or at least if they nave not made their appearance, they are 1 at least being mentioned for that coveted position. Sam F. Webb of Maricopa county, formerly speaker of the territorial house of representa- tives, parliamentarian of some abil- | ity and q legislator of some exper- fence. Yavapai county has a candi- date for the position in Morris Gold water, who was vice president of the constitutional convention and is well known all over the state. Cochise | the person of Dr. w. P. Sims, a mem- Der of. the first state senate, and one | of the few men to be e-elected to the second senate, while Hugh F. Camp bell of Coconino county, formerly pl esident of the state fair commis siOE and a member of the executive board of the American National Live ernor Hunts and one of the most prominent men in the state, is also being spoken of for the position.
 In the house there are several can- didates for the speakership among whom are Loren F. Vaughn and T. T | J. of Cochise and William F. Brooks of Gila. Graham and Brooks are mem bers of the former legislature It is conceded now that some sort of con- bination is likely to ensue before the end of the present contest whereby the north of the state will get one office and the south will get the oth- Il spna h., If lpresidency of the senate while Cochise ran away with the speakership hall the time although Yavapai came through and grabbed it for the other half
 l There is lot of controversy al present as to the probable contest be- tween the governor and the legisla- ture. Both sides continue to be mum when the matter is preached for pub- licatiOn but at that there are botf inside and outside rumors that Gov ernor Hunt will stand a better chance with the house this year and a little less show with the senate, which re- lverses the order of the last session There were many deadlocks because l session and much speculation and in terest has already been aroused ove; the possibility of such a condition again transpiring.
