It was génerally understood that labor will not have a candidate for speaker in the lower house, believing that W. I. Nolan, speaker of the laxt session, has sufficient votes plédged for his re-election to the post. Labor representatives probably - will - be asked to devote their attention to other matters. They probably will be left to use their own judgment in voting for speaker. { All legislators in the house will meet on Friday at 2 p. m. to decide the speaquship and other elective positions in the house. It was understood that a large num- ber of legislators have joined in the plans for the meeting. Labor.repreé- sentatives probably will be left aut of the gathering. Framini of legisla- tion probably will be taken up by both representatives and state sen- S ators. ] COMMISSION ON IREL_AND BEGINS HEARINGS TODAY e s, who o e bri passed away-on Monday at the home One of the brothers, of dés father in Liberty township, = y Lo : -.lthe Grand theatre this evening un- Leslie, is ng a sentence at this b s 3 Yy the teachers and pupils of the pub- | with the postoffice department.
