es ON legislation for 1916 were held at
the State House yesterday by both Dem
ocrats and Republicans. Governor
Fielder met with the Democrats for
awhile. during which time there was a
general discussion Of the proposed bills
to meet the party platform pledges. The
Governor remained in the Conference
about half an bOur and then hurried to
his private Office to continue his Execu-
tive duties. After the Governor had LETT
the meeting. he said that he had not urg-
ed any particular bills. and had no per-
sonal measures to bring before the gath
ering. He stated that it was a general
conference for the good of the party pro-
gram during the legislative session. Aft
ter the conference adjourned. Senator
AckersOn, of Monmouth, the minority
.eader in the Upper Branch, gave out
this statement.
.sThe conference today of the Demo
cratic members of the next Legislature
was most satisfactory. Most of the I'M
Dortant measures have already been
drafted. and everything will be IN readl-
ness for the opening day. The same at

The Republican members OF the as
sembly held a conference yesterday al
ternoon on the matter of the rules to
govern the 1916 House session. One
very important change was made IN the
rules. relating to the introduction OF
bills that will greatly facilitate the hand
ling Of the business in this House. I'm
der existing rules. it is necessary Tor a
member to get the recognition Of the
Speaker and formally introduce each Dill
dnring a session. At many of the busy
sessions. when scores of bills are intro
duced. this consumes an hour or more:
The new rule provides that bills snaa
merely be filed with the Clerk. whether
the House be in session or not, the Clerk
taking the record and title of each, eacn
bill then to be sent to the printer. Later
in that session or at the next succeeding
session. the bills will be officially read
bv title. etc. to comply with the Constr
tution. This will not only save time, but
will permit the Speaker more intelligent
lv to refer the bills to proper committees.
At the last session. S41 bills were intro
duced in the Assembly alone, so 1t Will
be seen that the saving of time by the
new method will be considerable.
The Assembly majority did not change
the rule providing that a bill must be
reported forthwith upon the written re-
quest of fifteen members. 1t has been
reported that this rule was TO be chang
ed. so as to require 20 signatures, but
it was stated that this was incorrect, and
that there was never any intention of
changing this rule. Practically no other
changes were made in the rules.

ing among music lovers. As nearly
