Naming of the committees In the first Arizona legislature is being dis cussed throughout the state. Until after the committee oji rules has reported there is no certainty as to what com mittees will be named, and the number of each. How the committees will be named is a questto whtcft y no means determined and It probably will not be until the committee on rales reports. M G. Cunnif who is the only avowed candidate for the presidency of the senate, and who apparently has the place "on ire" 'was not anxious to discuss the matter, but said he saw many reasons in favor of both methods as well as disadvantages for each. The example set by the Democratic 1. oi.se of representatives at Washing ton was caused by the abuse of the appointive nower by the speaker. Mr. unnlff sees no such reason for the placing of this power in the hands of the legislative body, but says he n ill be the last to oppose any act, hich gives to the legislature greater Pemocratic freedom.

The ripply of iegal talent lu the house Is limited. Murphy, of Gila, will not seek the position of chairman of the, com mittee, and Lynch, of Graham, another sttomev. is an aspirant for the speakership.

Afterwards a crowd estimated at 1200 men paraded the streets with banners bearing in scriptions such as: "Obey the will of the people," "Effective suffrage," and "The people don't want TreJo's election annuled." The legislature will meet during this week and it is thought that TreJo's election will be annuled, however, and another election ordered. In the event of this, Trejo states that he will be a candidate again. The adverse sentiment of the legisla ture against Trejo is founded on the grounds of his being a non-resident having lived in Texas for nearly four years until the new regime came into power.
