The governor declares that, after can

After stating that the members
have quite generally desired informa-

with the statement, the ACCESSIBILITY
of q session after the above mentioned
date will be decided at later time"
1t Is known that the governor has
had this matter under Amusement for

Of speculation.
Opponents Of Attorney General Hav-

has been counting on the coming gen.

Thru his position as attorney general
he comes in intimate contact with the
legislators recognized as political lead

partment Of justice would be more or

taken in this matter of code revision.

his record on suffrage and his attitude
on the liquor question and law en-
forcement
Conservatives Favor Delay.
Some Of the conservative members
of the legislature are known to be

they do not want to see local and state
controversy added to the national po-
litical conflict which now looms large

unhappy situation in industrial at
fairs Is bound to make the coming race
