Marsh Is Clerk.

choice for chief clerk. He was cleo
ted by acclamatlon. The reading

G.. c. Childers, secretary of the eau
Gus, suggested that in view Of the fact
that the senate had elected a chap
lain the house should take similar ac-
ton
"The members of this legislature
said Childers In an impassiOned APP
peal for a chaplain, cannot afford to
have the people say we are ungodly.
If we should not have a chaplain the
people of other states would hold us
to ridicule and say that he had gone
back to heather methods. If we cam
not provide for this officer we have
no necessity for legislature and we
might as well go back to our respec-
tive homes"
Representative w. A. Durant sug
gested that although the statute did
not provide for the appointment of a
chaplain he thought that such an Of
ficial should be chosen and If neces-
sary he could be put on the payroll as
a committee clerk, at a salary of 50
day.
