SEVERAL LEGISLATIVE CONFER
ENcEs ARE SCHEDULED TO
TAKE PLACE IN CITY.
STATE BOARDS RE0RGANIZES
II Is Said Bill Has Been Drafted Pro-
posing Changes in Control Of State
Charitable Institutions, Seeking to
Eliminate Them From Politics.
Little Rock

Little Rock
Several legislative conferences are
scheduled to take place in Little Rock
the week following the election. Sen
ators and representatives representing
the two factions seeking to control
the organization Of the Legislature
are at the head of the movements.
The faction favorable to Gov. c. H.
Brough is unquestionably in the ma
jority in the contests for speaker and
chief clerk of the house. Parties who
have given the matter considerable
study claim that DR.. Brough will have
from 20 to 80 majority in the lower
house. Conditions are somewhat diff
ferent in the Senate, but it is practi-
cally conceded that the incoming gov
ernOr will have a safe majority in Sc
lecting the organization. This does
not mean that DR.. BrOugh personally
will take a hand in the organization,
but his friends are becoming more
active daily and claim that the Senate
will be in control Of the friends Of the
administration. With the organiza-
tion favorable to him the new gov
ernor will have but little trouble in
securing the passage of bills favorable
to the policies he advocated on the
stump when he was seeing the guber-
natOrial nomination. From present
indications important changes will
take place in the organization Of the
various state boards. A bill has al
ready been drafted proposing radical
changes in the management and con-
troll of the state charitable institu-
tions, seeking to eliminate them alto
gether from politics. DR.. Brough has
already given his approval of the
measure.

A rumor current in the statehouse
that 0. c. Burnside, who succeeded

Hays. Mr. Burnsides term does not
expire until March, 1920, but his ap-
pointment must be confirmed by the
next Senate, as it was made after the
adjournment of the last Legislature.
