SENATE EMPLOYES ARE
SELECTED AT A CAUCUS
AUSTIN, Jan. 13 WP—The 39th
Texas legislature, meeting at noon
today, faced ths task ot reconciling
conflicting forces in ths speakership
fight determining whether Gover-
nor Pat M. Neff’s recess appoint-
ments shall bs confirmed,- end per-
fecting a working organization in
both branches.
Considering the unusual features
of the session, the principal one of
which will be the presence of a
women governor, the hours just be-
fore convening were unusually quiet.
Practically all members of the leg-
islature, as well no a great many
lobbyists were present. Members
from nearby counties came in on
every train this morning. It war
announced Senator John Bailey of
Cuero would be unable to attend,an
be in III in a hospital.
The usual flood of bills is ex-
pected to be released as soon as
the house and senate are organized
At least 100 measures are now ready,
many of them having been an-
nounced through the press during
the last week. The house may re-
quire some time to organise, be-
cause of the speakership fight. Sev-
eral nominating speeches alone were
to take up considerable time. The
senate already practically is organ-
ized following a caucus last night
in which a slate of subordinate of.
fleers was agreed upon. Thirty
members of ths senate attended the
caucus. Senator Bailey alone being
absent. This insured the election
today of the following slate:
