I
 Session Is Forthcoming.
 PHOENIX April 2O.-The clans are gathering.
 Clans in this particular instance re- fers to the members of the upper and
 lower branches of the second Arizona legislature which will convene in ex- ltraordinary session at 10 of the clock, ante meridian, on Friday next. Dr. w., P. Sims, president of the senate, has been in town for several days. Senator Campbell is also among those present. Senator Stapley is home from trip to Utah with his Brooks will be here tomorrow or next day; John Christy has been in. town between sessions; others are here, on the way or busi1y engaged in packing their knapsacks-
 By Thursday it is exepcted that the roster will be about complete. There will be preliminary caucauses at the Adams hotel Wednesday, dress re- hearsal the day following and a Hast word" early Friday morning.
 Hardly a single member is willing to guess as to the length of the ses- sion. Certain eventualities eventuat- ing, it will be short; certain other eventualities failing to eventuate, the dog days may find the solons still struggling through the daily roll call.
 The governor has not yet decided whether or not he will insist upon organizing the house along pro-Hunt lines Ia he does decide to take the bit in his teeth and teach the mem ber.- w!lo have declined to. don the bridle their place inl the scheme of things, Brooks is, scheduled for the skids. Sam Proctor is the governors choice for the speakership, providing he decides to play it alone.
 l.. F. Sweating is sitting on the door step of the capitol waiting to take up the duties and to acquire the emolu- ments which go with the job of chief clerk. He may have some opposition. Buck Lanier, the reading clerk of the regular session, has goine to Florida to cool off. and Hardy is likely to land the job. At least one of the five doorkeepers may be dispensed with.
 Chaplain Crutchfield's prayers didn't take" to any noticeable de- gree in the regular session, but the venerable sky pilot will doubtless be given another chance.
 The senate will probably reorgan- fe along the same lines as at the regular session minus, perhaps, few of the impendiments. Oscar Cole, for secretary, and Mike Hannon for ser geant-at-arms, are the slates. Rev. Bertrand R. Cocks made himself solid during the regular session by his short, pithy apeals for heavenly succor, and will get the job again. There have been about 400 applica- tions for every vacancy.
 The legislature will convene prac- tically where it left off six weeks ago. The conditions are unchanged except that the members of the Hunt lobby have heard a few things during their visit home. They realize that the rule or ruin policy of the governor is without the sanction of the electorate and that the people are demanding recognition of their rights; the bring ing of the land commission under the law; the passage of public welfare measures, and an active assault with a sharp pruning knife upon the gen eral appropriation.
 It is probable that after convening and organization on Friday, an ad- journment will be taken until Mon day.
 Governor Hunts message will be very short.
 q will wish them well and suggest that they prepare funds to run the apartments" said the gov ernor today.
 School land lessees are not the only | ones who want the governor to ar range that legislation other than ap- may be enacted.
 Druggists want legislation passed SO that alcohol may be imported for for laboratory purposes.
 The governor has asked both the essees and the druggists tos end in
