There will be more of an air of in.

less the 1928 senate differs very ma
terially from the senates which have

tion Of governors 1t will work in

1t is entirely possible now to state
with some degree of certainty what
will be done during the first thirty
days of the session.
During the first week the demo
cratic nominees for speaker and
president pro tenn will be elected,
barring an entirely unforeseen dead
lock within the majority party, which
will give the few republicans the
balance of power and deciding votes.
Governor Robertson will be in of
