cember. 1t was not known at the time
that a special session of the new
congress would be called. The reso.
luton was a customary one, and its
affect was to continue committee
clerks and attaches of committees
on pay during the congressional va.
cation. The calling of the special
session, while the senate was in the
special inaugural session, nullified that
resolution, with the result that large
number of committee clerks and 9TH
er committee attaches found them
selves suddenly and Unexpectedly out
OF positions. The senate, in prepare
tion for the special session starting
April 16. Immediately proceeded to re.
arrange the committees, and on Mon.
day the new committees were adopt.
ed by the senate. Those senators who
still retain their chairmanships, of
course, still retain the secretary,
clerks and messengers who have serv-
ed their respective committees. But,
by reason of certain senators retiring,
there are a number of new chairman.
ships. and these new chairmen i'm.
mediately designated their committee
patronage which, generally speaking,
went to new men. For example, SEN
ator Chiffon retired from the Senate
with the expiration of his term, March
4. He was chairman of the census
committee, and his private secretary,
Henry D. Fry. was also clerk of that
committee. Besides. Mr.. Fry, there
were five other attaches of the com.
mittee who owed their appointment
10 Senator Chiffon. Haw there been
no extra session. they would have
continued in their positions until next
December. But as 1t is now otherwise.
there is another majority senator
chairman OF that committee, and the
Chiffon appointees are out, while the
new chairman's selections are in and
on the payroll.
