It appears that the new statute instructing members of the legis lature to vote for the Senatorial candidate receiving the highest number of votes at the general election was not a law in fact until made so by the last June election. Consequently it cannot be considered as binding upon the legislators chosen at that election. The worst part of a holiday is in going back to work the morn ing after.
