Austin. Tex. The House of Repre-
sentatives Wednesday afternoon coin
pleted its oi gaui/.ation and both
houses notified the governor that they
were ready lot business, and received
word in reply that the governor would
communicate with these bodies by
message Thursday. The proceedings
of the House were devoid of particu-
lar Interest, although there were sharp
contests for a number of the offices.
Tin one noteworthy event in that con-
nection was the election of Charles It.
(irahnm as calendar clerk. Mr. lira-
ham Is a railroad conductor, and is
prominent iu railroad circles.
The most interesting event of the
day was Speaker Kennedy's appoint
ment of the Committee on Constitu
tloiial Amendments Mr. Hill of lien
ton is clialt man of it.
When Speaker Kennedy handed the
unnoiinceiiii lit dow n to the clerk to be
read, he ri marked aside: '"They said
I winilln t do it, but they'll see." He
evidently bad reference to the re-
port circulated during the speakership
campaign that If elected he would not
treat the submlsslonists fairly.
With tin- appointment of a commit-
tee in the House favorable to submis-
sion, and I .lent. Gov. Davidson's an-
nouncement that lie would appoint a
committee of the same kind, it is cer-
tain that the statewide prohibition
amendment will go before both bodies.
The all-absorbing question, therefore,
now is whether or not the siibmisston-
ists can in list ei a two-thirds vote in
each house
These amendments no doubt will be
introduced in both houses simultane-
ously Thursday.
