 Though her name does not appear ir the list of house attaches, Mrs. Bessie Coke will be the speakers clerk, the position she held in the last legislature She has been. in fact, an attache o every legislature since the admission of Arizona to statehood and has beer chosen because of her competence Two years ago she devised car' system for keeping track of bills whicl had been usually in a chaotic shape The system was recognized to be sI excellent that it was adopted by th' senate also.
 Just before 2:sO o'clock the tw, houses met in the hall of representa- tives to receive Governor Campbell il joint session. When the governor ar rived the galleries were filled. Tn reading of the message by the governo was followed closely by both the mem bers and the spectators and there wer many evidences of approval and sym pathy. The scene in that respect wa quite different from that of two year ago when the hostility of the maiorit, was not yelled and when the aggressiv message became a bone of contention between the more radical Democrats ol one side and the more conservative an Republicans on the other.
