On Lieut.. Gov. Stone
Especial to The Reformer.)

"a
Speculation was rife at the state
house today on the question whether
Lieut.. Gov. Mason S. Stone would
call a special legislative session at
any time when Governor Clement
was outside the state. The last par
agraph in the proclamation issued
by the governor yesterday is looked
on here as warning to the second in
command.
The agreement between the gov
ernor and the Ieutenant-governo
that the latter would not call a spe-
clal session while the former was
outside the state no longer exists
and sutfragists now look upon Lieu
tenant Governor Stone as their last
hope in this state.
