Silently the ape-man arose and crossed the
floor to the opening where he crouched upon the

his side so that the ascending man, whose back

mated the political life Of the State
to . greater degree than any other one
man has ever done, may oppose Rep

one Of the few this century which did
not meet the approval of Senator SIM

If Mr.. Simmons, who Is now 80 years
Of age, decides to make the race it will
be his second for the same position,
the first having been made in 1886,
when he was elected.
Senator Simmons friends count on
the fact that his bolt from Al Smith
IN 1928 Is not now as unpopular as 1t
was when he was defeated in 1880. be-
cause Of Smiths loss of popularity in
the State. and on the further fact that
Senator Simmons carried the third dis

The closing days Of the session were

debate. the House. by a vote of Al to
so, refused to refer the charges to the
Senate.
Speaker Dennis A. Dellwo, discussing
which consumed 81 days, pointed out
measures to liquify the banks Of the

AUSTIN, Tex, January 27.-Mora-

by Gov Miriam A. Ferguson and Bank

convened Immediately to extend the

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, January az
After three weeks Of wrangling, during
which nothing OF Importance was &C
eomplished in the House, the special
session of the State Legislature began
It's fourth week Monday with the most
riotOuS session of the whole term Al
though the House adopted a motion
limiting debate on the refunding bill
to five minutes per Representative, the
Speaker Of the House was unable to
enforce the motion and a near-riot en-
sued. Several Representatives who had
just voted for the motion Immediately
set up a howl about the gag rule"
and one Representative was so incensed
at the motion that he voted against 1t
three times.
However, the Senate ACCOMPLISHED
what 1t set out to do when it passed
the $155, 100000 highway debt refund
Ing bill last Saturday and sent it to the
House. The only thing accomplished
by the House that day was to appropri-
ate an additional $4,000 with which to
pay members salaries. Although Gov
j. Marion Futrell, in his call for the
special session, said he would limit the
cost OF the session to $4,000, this was
the third appropriation of $4,000
passed during the session and the tax
payers can do nothing about it. How
