a recess of five days, and tomorrow, if all
gos wel!. the present session will estab
lish an unknown pr cedent. The second
i uesaay after assembly has always been
the beginning of a long fight for senatorial

was able to give any one man a majority.
This necess tated a joint session. History

Mulkey will be elected on the first ballot
Thus- will new precedent be established.
