Democratic side of the Senate chamber
and about twice that number on the
Republican side - when the chaplain
opened with prayer the seventh week
Of the session. In the course OF his sup

would follow in the footsteps of the
Prince OF Peace. Among the bills
introduced and referred we're the fol-
lowing: BY Mr.. Teller-To enable the
people of Utah to form a constitution
and State government and for the ad-
mission of Utah as a State"
There was long time between the
submission Of this bill and the admission
