able that will hear nothing further

keen Disappointment
However Governor Mccarthy himself
may feel in the matter, keen disap.
pointment is expressed in many quar-
tiers over the fact that the special 'ses.
sion win doubtless open with the out.
going administration in power. II is
known that u number of messages have
been sent TO Washington asking to have
the change in Governors made at once
so that Mccarthy may have the reins
in his hands when the special session
opens. What effect these may have is
| still in doubt though, Of course, it is
still possible for Washington to take
such action as will effect the change
before next Tuesday when the special
session opens.
The state of mind of those most
anxious to see the new Governor in
power when the special session opens
was expressed by one individual yes
/ terday who said that after the session
opens there are going to be a great
many chances "to spill the beans and
if the change in the administration is
not brought about in time all the
chances are that the beans will be
spilled. " t~
While the administration continues
to mark time there is an evident dis.
position on the part of the public and
| lnose who have business at the Capitol
to regard the change of Governors as
IL thing that has already happened,
for much of the admi nistrative business
and even routine matters that come to
the Governors office is being directed
to Colonel Mccarthy, whose hands, rs
he has said himself, Will be tied until
he takes the oath Of Office.
Another Change T..
Another change thut is apparent is
in the dGmeanOr of heads of depart.
ments, whose places have been made
secure by Governor McCarthy's an.
nouncemcnt of changes Ire intends TO
make. Since the present admins ira
tion has been in power action and the
expression of views by heads Of de.
partments have been closely restrained
as reflection of the executive atti'
tudc. Now, however, that the change
has all but actually been made depart.
ment heads have Il new outlook and in
dividuals among them have begun ia
give evidence of enamel patton.
Plans for the special session and fol-
n definite legislative program, which
it was announced was to be drawn up
are still where they were week ago
Besides the emergency legislation u
| al nf 70 IN
funds with which to repair storm dam
age. mass of bills and measures 81
various kinds have been suggested in
formally by various members of both
houses and individuals, but so far a.
known no steps to weld these things
into n comprehensive program of action
have yet been taken. This may msar
that the special session will open win
no action along this line having beor
taken and in that event all hopes for q
brief economical session probably vii
70 glimmering.
No Action Taken I.
Expressions of opinion on the neg
of economy and the need of having thu
legislature in session for the shortest
possible period are not lacking, but ne
ton to bring this about by arrangint
definite program has not yer Deei
, taken. 1t is possible that list Of neY
laws deemed desirable and amendment
to existing laws viii be prepared in tlf'
next few days or so. IF This Is dom
! il is expected that the legislature q
its first act when the session opens vii
adopt II resolution limiting what 1t doe
to the things proposed and at the SAM
time set date for adjournment.
