Democratic senators and members of
the House for next Tuesday night at
the State House to select presiding
officer for each of the branches of the

Republicans to Caucus
The Republican members of the
Assembly will hold caucus to select
their candidates, who will act as the
party leaders, with no chance of be.
ing named to the presiding posts due
to the heavy Democratic majority in
both branches.
The Legislature itself will not

City, chairman of the powerful judi
ciary committee at the last two ses-
sions of the assembly is considered
the most likely choice of the Demo-
Gratis for Speaker of the House, and
Senator Walter ]. Mitchell, of Charles
county, the leading candidate for pre-
siding officer of the Senate.
Other Candidates Mentioned
Other candidates have been promi-
! nentiy mentioned but none have de-
veloped the backing which has crys..
talized about these two. In the House,
James J. Lindsey, Baltimore City,
chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee at the last session, has
been prominently mentioned, but with
the presidency of the Senate practi-
cally sure to go to county man, the
speakership, through custom, would
go to a city man.
This policy was overcome four years
ago when E. Brooke Lee, of Montgonl-
cry county, was selected speaker, and
David G. Mcintosh, Jr., of Baltimore
county, was made President of the
Upper House.
MitchelPs Candidacy Clouded
Selection of Senator Mitchell as
presiding officer of the Senate has
been clouded by the contest brought
by Thomas B. R. Mudd, his Republic
can opponent in the election, who was
returned defeated by "a votes.
Senator Mcintosh, Senator S. Scott
Beck, of Kent county, Lansdale Sas-
seer, of Prince Georges county, Sen
ator-elect Emory L. CoblentZ, of Fred
erick county, Senator Dudley G. Roe,
of Queen Anne's county, and Senator
elect Ridgely P. Melvin, of Anne
