Nost AUOMA CRY, Jan. 1.-THE
si'rl "nirtight' adminhtratinn
~ 4, ,hc senate went To pieces on
,na first test of strength after or
uv ,,tion Of the body had been ei-
iectcd.
r,Jay the senate went into eNocu-
- Lsipu to consider cuufirmd-
. or rejection Of a long list of APP
oi,,,,s made by the governor after
xars. adjournment OF '"' '',' "','. ~
h, the list were almost all OF the
,.,n,ts and boards for the state in
sr',utions. penal, eleemosynary ana
'ivcatin1al besides the names OF
roorgc clark and Homer Byrd re-
.ncc,iv,ly chairman and secretary
- the state board OF affairs.

,sgi.lature OF 1919 az was also true
~ clark. but the lattor was ad.
yspred 10 the chairmanship after
,hc resignation Of state Chairman
faFayettc, Byrd taking Clark's old
placo ON the board.
Dr. A X. Lewis. state health COM
miseioner. and Henry Wood. state
highway missioner. were promi-
nent names on the list submitted for
ron,rmation by the senate.
Still Not Confirmed.
Executive sessions are secret and
,bo d.Iibcrations OF the solons can
NOT be- made public. However. the
record shows that the senate went
into executive session for the con-
drmation OF these appointcos, and
,he record also shows that such con-
firtnation was not made; at least
has not been made up to this hour.
Senate procedure in confirmation
cases is well established. \ senator
can ask unanimous consent Tor the
confirmation OF an appointoe, ana In
,ha event there is objection, that
name has to be sent to the commit
tee having to do with that depart
ment OF government for considera-
,ion.
1t is not n rule hut precedent
that when an appointees name is
read, the senator from his district
moves FOR confirmation OF that name
and in the event OF his failing 10 do
30. the name goes TO the properly
designated committee for further
consideration.
In the list Of names read before
Clark, chairman of the board OF ar
fairs would come first. lie lived at
Chandler, and that district hts two
senator's, Lynch OF Stroud and W~ls
OF shawnee. II would be more prop
or for Lynch To make the motion as
he is from the same county az lark.
Failing 1t would he Wells tui! and,
both falling Ia make the motion,
the name would go to the commit
tee for further consideration. Even
when a home senator made the Gus
.omary motion, an objection would
sill send the name to the commit
tee for consideration.
Homer Byrd, secretary or the
board OF affairs, and Health super
in,endent \. II. Lewis are both from
jefferson county. and that is in a
district represented by Senators J., a
Morton OF Duncan and Jed Johnson
OF Walters. Either Of them could
move to confirm but, in the event OF
some republican or rcCalcierant deh
ocrat objected their cases would go
10 the proper committee hoppers and
time taken before the report could
be submitted to the senate again ~
executive session.
The Record Is Barren.
