"Drys" in State Legislature
Planning to Repeal the
Present Mulct Law
WOULD GUST THE
SALOON FROM IOWA
Organization of Assembly
Proceeding With All
Possible Speed

Des Moines, Jan. REORGANIZATION
work occupied the attention of the
Iowa legislators in the thirty-sixth gen
eral assembly, which convened here
| today. Most of the officers of both
houses had been selected in the repub-
lican caucuses Saturday afternoon, SO
that formal ratification of the selec-
tions was the order after the opening
of the session at ten o'clock.
I w. l. Atkinson of Clarksville, is the
speaker of the house, with Lieutenant
Governor w. l.. Harding presiding in
the senate. The president pro tenn OF
the senate is to be selected later this
week.
Interest centers in the biennial mes
sage of Governor George w. Clarke,
which is to be read to the joint session
of both houses tomorrow afternoon, &C
cording to present plans. Governor
! Clarke will be inaugurated for his Sec
ond term, probably Thursday after
noon.
The submission of women's suffrage
to vote of the people of Iowa, enact.
ment of new law governing real
estate concerns, and probable change
in state departmental government are
expected to be the features of the ses.
sion.
That a fight for supremacy in the
legislature between the liquor and
anti-saloon forces was certain, was IN
dicated in today's announcement by
George w. Crozier, representative from
Marion county, that Immediately after
committee assignments he would intro
duco bill providing for the repeal OF
the mulct law.
In the caucus oflrepublican members
of the senate Saturday, the "drys
were said to have been in the majority
1t is claimed that a similar situation
prevails in the lower house.
! Judge Crozier's proposed bill, If
made into law, it is said, would cause
an automatic reversion to the prohib.
! itory law of 1884, providing for state
wide prohibition. Under this state law
saloons were prohibited in Iowa from
1884 to 1894, when the present mulct
law was passed.
