the session tomorrow morning.
bill making an appropriation of
$1,000. lta for this purpose is pending
in the senate. II originated from the
democratic side but it may be accept
ed as the administration bill in the
upper branch.
The money will be used by the state
in meeting its share of mobilization
and enlistment expenses. More than
this will be needed in all probability,
but the administration prefers to feel
its way and not make too sweeping a
demand at once.
1t IL also likely that the Ellis bill,
giving the governor wider power in
militia formation and providing more
stringent sanitary regulations for
mobilization camps will be passed by
both houses before the end of the
week No opposition is anticipated to
any measure which the administration
considers necessary for the prepara-
tlon of Illinois for the war.
1t is probable that Governor Low
den will send message to legisla-
ture on the needs Of the state in the
impending crisis
