The session of the .Senate, last Friday, was especially well attended, the usual interest being heightened by the fact that It was election night. After tlie roll-call and the reading nf the minutes, the august body proceeded to elect their officers for the next six weeks. Nominations for the otlice of president were called for—President Fairbanks (John While) was renominated for the otlice and Senator Heit- field (Mary Pratt) put against him. Tlie gentleman from Indiana, however, was no match for lhe ever popular Senator Heitiield, the latter being chosen to till once more the oilice she held so successfully during the stormy days of the corruption trial. For Vice-president, Senator Beveridge (James Gipe) was nominated, Ilanna (Ruth Patterson) of Ohio, being his opponent. This time the gentleman from Indiana was triumphant and will wield the gavel for the august body when its fair president is absent. Nominations for secretary were called for next. Senators Calhoun (Will Stokes), Turpie (Editli Braimon) and Sullivan were placed upon tlie ticket. Calhoun received the majority of the votes. The nextuhlce to be filled was that of reading clerk. Senator Bacon (Frank Doudlcan) nominated Senator Turpie (Edith Brannon). He, himself, was then chosen to run against her and Piatt (Will Ehrick), made up the ticket. Senator Turpie was the choice of the body and will be given a chance to display her excellent oratorical qualifications in the reading of tlie bills. In accordance with the time honored precedent of the Senate, the retiring president was endowed with the oilice of custodian. Henceforth, the Senators vaguely hope, the gentleman from Indiana and his wliile tie will lower their dignity occasionally to attend to the lights and ventilation of the chamber. her actions speak her intentions. Senator Turpie, in a modest speech, promised todo her duty to the honor bestowed upon her. During thc remainder of the session the Senators used their voices and their reason on the capital punishment bill. This bill, which recommends life sentence in place of capita] punishment and provides against the present louse method of granting pardons, was read for the third time, and the Senators given a last opportunity to urge iheir views. Senator Ross (Fay Fuluier) spoke against lhe bill, warning the law-makers against the evils which would ensue from the abolishment of the death penalty. She was seconded In her argument by Senator Piatt wlio, although he had some dilli- culty in informing thc Senate from which stale he came, gave tlie body some information upon the criminal laws enforced there. lie was followed by Senator Perkins, who vehemently denounced the uncertainty wliich characterized the gentleman from Connecticut ur New York (lie didn't know which) and ended his tirade by asking the august body how they knew whether the gentleman knew anything wliich he said. He next, directed his sarcasm against tlie "good Senator Boss,'' and so biting did lie become that Senator-Fairbanks gallantly Interposed, and the president directed the speaker to refrain from such "biting personalities." Plait replied with stinging sarcasm., then Senator Prltchard proceded to read a lengthy argument against the bill. He was interrupted during bis strongest arguments liy Senator Fairbanks who, having promised Mr. Biddy to vacate the Senate chamber promptly at 5:.'i0, made a motion to adjourn and to give Senator Prltchard the first opportunity at the next session to re-deliver his "grandeloquent" speech. The motion was passed, and many of the Senators retired to the back yard to develop tlieir muscular energy in athletic training. -♦	Important.
