was expressed by the senators who
came for the meeting was that the Re
publicans would NOT agree to the PRO
posal made by the Democratic soma
tors for division of the appointments
and committee chairmanships between
the two parties. The Republicans pro-
pose to take all of them. on the ground
that the Republicans are in the ma
jority. with the vote OF Lieutenant
Governor Bush. who will take office
four days after the opening Of the ses-
sion, and that they do not have to deal
with the Democrats on Jobs and ap-
pointments.
1t was said, too, that the legislators
would discuss candidates for the vari-
Gus appointments in the House and
Senate. E. Il. York OF Peru. and w.
w. HUFFMAN. of Anderson. are candi-
dates for secretary Of the senate and
the chances favor the election of York.
