Fremont's Son Honored.
News has reached us of the good luck
of Prof. H. G. Fuller, who has secured
the appointment of assistant chief clerk
of the state house of representatives.
Mr. Fuller is one of the hardest workers
in the republican ranks of Fremont
county, and the appointment could not
have fallen to one more deserving.
LEGISLATURE IS ORGANIZED
REPUBLICANS
ARE SWORN
IN
Both Houses Organize in Accordance With the
Plans Mapped Out by the Republicans
in Their Caucuses.
(BOISE CAPITAL NEWS.)
At 11:25 a. m., last Monday morning
the democratic era of six years in Idaho
ended. The democrats of every state
office turned over their official chairs to
be filled by the standard bearers of the
republican party.
When the old and new state officials
entered, arm in arm, Chief Justice Sul
livan, heading the procession, there was
a round of applause.
The chief justice ascended to the
speaker's chair and rapped for order:
"The audience will come to order
and the program of the hour will pro
ceed," he announced. There was deep
silence as Governor Hunt arose and said
in a clear voice:
"May it please the court. I take pleas
ure in introducing the Hon. John T.
Morrison, who has been lawfully elected
governor of the state of Idaho, and is
now ready to take the oath of office. "
The chief justice read the prescribed
oath in a distinct voice and at its con
!
S

]
elusion, the "1 do," response of the gov-:
ernor-elect was equally clear and reso
n ant.
A round of applause followed the
brief ceremony that in effect transferred
the executive powers of a great com
monwealth.
The ceremony proceeded down the
line much like the ritualistic installa
tion of lodge officers. The introduced
scarcely varied in their wording and
there was liberal applause for each new
official.
Only when Miss French arose to in
troduce her successor was there a var
iance in the program, on the part of any
of the actors or spectators. Then the
audience greeted the ladies as they
arose from their seats with the heartiest
applause of the hour. It was duplicated
when they again resumed their seats.
The new officials are:
John. T. Morrison, governor; suc
ceeding Frank W. Hunt.
James F. Ailshie, associate justice,
succeeding Ralph P. Quarles.
James M. Stephens, lieutenant gov
ernor, succeeding Thomas P. Terrel.
Wilmot H. Gibson, secretary of slate,
succeeding Charles J. Bassett.
Theodore Turner, auditor, succeeding
E. W. Jones.
John F. Bagley, attorney-general,
succeeding Frank Martin
Hal Coffin, treasurer, succeeding J.
J. Plumer,
Miss May,Scott, school superintend
ent, succeeding Miss Perineal French.
Robert Bell, mining inspector, suc
ceeding Martin Jacobs.
When the end of the list had been
reached, Chief Justice Sullivan said:
"That, 1 believe, ends the program
of the hour, and the audience may now
consider themselves dismissed.
Then the spectators and the retiring
officials, crowded around the new state
rulers to offer congratulations, and the
ceremony of inauguration was at an
end.
HOUSE ORGANIZES.
At 12 o'clock, promptly, the house
was called to order by Mrs. Mary
Wright of Kootenai county, chief clerk
of the last session.
She proceeded to read the list of mom
bers-elect as certified to by the secre
tary of state. Calling of the roll fol
lowed, and every member-elect an
swered as present.
The chief clerk next appointed Wer
ner of Ada, Moore of Ada, and Moore of
Fremont, a committee to wait upon the
chief justice and escort him to the hall
to administer the oath of office to the
members elect, which was quickly
done.
Nominations for speaker brought
Jenkins, of Latah, to his feet and he
named J. Frank Hunt, of Cannock, in
a glowing eulogy. Seconded by Brun
zell of Owyhee.
Moore, of Idaho, then placed in nom
J
j
ination as the unanimous choice of the
democratic minority, Perry W. Mit
chell of Idaho county, in an appropriate
speech.
The nomination was seconded by
Peede of Boise county.
The ballot by roll call resulted:
Hunt, 35; Mitchell. 11.
□ Mitchell of Idaho voted for his op
ponent. Hunt was declared elected, and
McNeal of Kootenai, Jensen of Ban
nock and Jenkins of Latah were ap
pointed to escort him to the chair.
Speaker Hunt spoke a dozen words of
formal thanks for the high honor and
expressing his hope for a pleasant ses
sion.
The regular republican caucus nom
inees were then elected over the dem
! ocratic nominees:
For chief clerk the ballot resulted:
S McCracken, 36; Parker, 10. There
i was evidently a mistake in recording
I the vote as the roll was called, but after
] two attempts the clerk gave it up and
the vote was allowed to stand as given
above. Parker should have had one
more democratic vote and McCracken
ont ' kss, as it was not known that any
democrat bolted his caucus nomination
While there was a mistake somewhere
it did not effect the result and the mat
ter was not further inquired into.
The republican caucus nominees for
the following places were then placed
in nomination and a motion made to
elect them all together. Moore of Ida
ho moved to substitute the democratic
nominees. The substitute was then
defeated by an aye and nay vote,
and in a similar manner the
original motion was carried and the re
publican nominees declared duly elected.
Mr. Little of Bingham, Brown of
Ada and Moore of Idaho, were appoint
ed to wait upon the chief justice and
ask hinten administer the oaths of office
to the speaker and attaches of the
house.
This formality was speedily com
plied with.
THE SENATE.
At 12 o'clock, noon, the senate was
called to order by Chief Clerk W. V.
Helfrich. The certificate of election of
the following members was read from
the secretary of state:
Elijah F. Caton, J. W. Ballentine, A.
B Stevenson, W. W. Clark, H. W.
defer, W. Newell, E. Allen, G. A. Day,
Charles Baker, J. A. Putrill, Albert
Heath, J. L. Eckert, J. F. Yost, J. W.
as
Brigham, W. C. Whitwell, P. It. Dol
man. G. E. Crum, D. L. Evans, Arthur
Pense, B. F. O'Neil and G. F. Smith.
After the roll call, the chief justice
ofthe supreme court appeared and the
new' members were sworn in. The
honorable justice was conducted by
Senators Ballentine and Smith.
The personal of the senate consists of
a dignified body of men, of apparent
ability and an earnest desire to legislate
for the best interests of the state.
Among the members are Gilbert F.
Smith of Washington, and J. W
ham of Latah county, former members
and also Senators J. W. Ballentine of
Blaine, Edward Allen of Canyon. J. A.
Putrill of Elmore, William C. Whit
well of Lemhi, who were members of
the last session.
Lieutenant-Governor James M. Stev
ens was then introduced and the sen- !
ate was formally called to order. Sen- j
ator Brigham presented the names of j
caucus nominees for clerical positions, |
and moved that they be appointed. |
Senator Evans presented a list of the ]
democratic nominees. A vote was tak
en and the list presented by Senator ]
Brigham was carried by a vote cf 21 1
and (i. The employees, the names of
whom appear in another column were
duly sworn in.
Senators Smith, Ballentine and Brig
ham were selected to wait upon the '
governor and inform him that the sen-.
ate had organized and was ready to re
ceive communications. Senators Kie
fer, Evans and Dolman were selected
to wait on the house, and inform that
body that the senate had organized.
Senator Ballentine made a request
that the minority members be given
seats together, which was granted by a
motion from Senator Allen.
On motion the senate adjourned to 3
o'clock.
SENATE CAUCUS.
The senate caucus of the republicans
for tire appointment of attaches was
quite an exciting affair last, evening,
and it was nearly 3 o'clock a. m. be
fore the family pjw wows was con
cluded. The big fight was on the se
lection of the president pro tern, and
the secretary, Billy Pickett, the man
froth Moscow, who helped to discover
Little Bertie French, wanted his friend,
J. Brigham, the Latah county rancher,
for president pro tem, and others were
kindly disposed towards Senator John
F. Yost of Kootenai. The battle raged
long and hard, and was only ended
when Senator Yost for harmony's sake,
withdrew his name and Brigham was
chosen. Several of the senatorial
Commanches then went out after Col
onel Allen Miller of Idaho county, the
candidate for secretary. Colonel Miller
will be recalled as the "Irish wit" who
nominated Ailshie for supreme justice
in a two hour's speech in the late re
publican state convention. Miller fin
ally landed the appointment after a
hard tussle.
Alex Roberts, an Ada county resT
dent, was made assistant secretary over
Joseph Perrault, Jr. Young Perrault
had the misfortune of being a son of a
great father temporarily out of touch or
sympathy with some of the party.
His candidacy was fought by Ada
county.
A. 8. Abbott of Cassia county, was
made engrossing clerk, and M. < 'ham
plain of Lincoln, brother-in-law of R.
McCollum, was made assistant engross
ing clerk.
B. Vanderbeck of Bannock, was made
assistant enrolling clerk, and Douglas
Hix of Fremont county, journal clerk.
Rev. E. E. Fife of Ada, was chosen
as chaplain, and J. M. Martin of ( 'an
yon, sergeant at arms. S. M. Winters of
Bear Lake, was appointed general com
mittee clerk, and Sol Turley and Calvin i
Cartright of Ada, pages.
Washington county got the door
keepership for M. Hooper and an Ada
man named Neilly was appointed jani
tor.

The republicans of the house and
senate caucused last evening at the
Idanha, and it was long after midnight
before the tired law makers lucked
themselves in their beds. Ada county
as usual wanted everything, and the
cow county statesmen kicked hard and
.long and finally carried their point.
Ada county was given all it was en
titled to and more than its share for
that matter, and as usual it was kick
ing over the fair and magnanimous
treatment accorded it by the visitors.
Representative C. C. Moore of Fre
mont presided over tiie deliberations of
the house members and handsome
Howard R. McBride

TWENTIETH BALLOT
DROPS LOW MAN.
Boise, Idaho, Jan. S. -(Peak Special)
The ordinary routine of business lias
been taken up by both departments of
the legislature. A joint caucus was
held last night at which it was decided
that il took twenty-six votes to nomin
lte, there being fifty present. It was
further decided that twenty ballots
should betaken, ten of which were tak
en Iasi night, five to be taken tonight
and five Saturday night, and at the end
f the twentieth ballot the low man is
to he dropped. The result of last night's
balloting was: Borah. is : Hey burn, 15.
Standrod, I I and Shoup, 6.
THE NEXT SENATOR.
From the result of the balloting on
the nominations for senator, it. appears
that Mr. Borah is developing a great
deal of strength. (It the close of the
balloting, if Col. Shoup is the gentle
man to drop out of the race, there is no
doubt but that his vote will go to
Standrod. which will put him ahead of
Judge lleyburn. In that event it is the
general opinion in political circles here,
that He.vlmrn s support will be thrown
to Borah, which will make Mr. Borah
the next United Stales senator.
