4 President Mcintosh accomplished
his announced desire to name his COM
mittees Monday night, although ne
had to delay the opening OF the Sen
ate an hour and twenty minutes to DO
It.
After brief sessions in both houses,
the Joint Democratic caucus met and
nominated John M. Dennis, OF Balti-
more county, for reelection as State
Treasurer. Mr.. Dennis is expected to
be chosen Wednesday at joint SEES
sion of the General Assembly.
Mr.. Mcintosh in announcing the
Senate committees told the Senators
that he had done the best he could TO
rive satisfaction, but he knew the Sc
iections never gave complete satisfac-
ton to anyone, much less to all. He
said he believed that before the win
ter is over Senators will find ne mad
made the best selections possible.
First interest, of course, was in the
chairman of the Committee on FL
nance. who automatically becomes the
floor leader of the majority party
This place went to Senator Walter j.
Mitchell, OF Charles county.
Mr.. Mitchell was one of the canda-
dates for the Presidency of the Senate,
but dropped out Of the fight in favor
Of Senator Mcintosh. This, 1t Is said,
also released the other Southern Mary
land Senators, who had been pledged
to Mr.. Mitchell, and they likewise sup
ported Mr.. Mcintosh. Mr.. Mitchell is
now serving his second term, having
been last elected in 1921.
Senator George Arnold Frick, Bal
timore, again heads the Committee on
Judicial Proceedings. 1t is said that
some pressure was brought to bear
upon President Mcintosh to appoint
Senator Curran as head OF this COM

ship given Mr.. Curran was that OF the
Committee on Elections, although ne
