P, HARMONY IN LEGISLATURE SPELLS SUGGES OF 1919 StsolON Controversy sy Over Leaders in Senate and House Is Cleared Up by Counting Noses and Suggestion (Special to The Tribune) CHEYENNE, Jan, 15.—A happy augury of continued Republican har- mony was evidenced by the outcome of the party caucuses and the subse- | quent ratification of nominees by both senate and house. As a matter of fact, the resulting unanimous: ac- tion of both caucus and legislature was due entirely to the spirit animat ing all Republicans these days—a spirit willing to sink personal and private ambitions and desires for the good of the organization. No better illustration of this could be given than the action of the house ca s Monday night. Previously the air had been charged with the fiery cam- ing of three candidates for the ip, which by Sunday night » point of recrimina- tion and aspersion on the part of the more enth managers. It looked like a deadlock in caucus and a big row on the floor to determine the speakership. With Mo: f however, along comes Mr. I —in the persons of representative Republicans with no axes to grind and no particular can- tidate to advance, but with the actual de: to prevent friction. Led by Chairman Kennedy and Secretary Axtell the movement caused the can- h was inventoried, noses we counted, probabilities were discussed, adjustment ted—until every- body wa: atisfied. Witness Kelly nominating Sullivan in caucus, and Jenkins moving to make it unani- mous! It’s the actuating spirit of each individual Republican—this determi- nation that the united party must stay so—and it’s going to take a mighty hard jolt to break anything loose with a spirit like that rampant.

Patten Wins First Round of Litigation Over Claim of Architect Reddington in U. S. Court The demurrer filed by City Attor- ney W. H. Patten in the United States district court at Cheyenne in | answer to the petition of Richmond B. Reddington for two and a half per cent of the total cost of the city hall, | was sustained by Judge John A. Riner on the ground suggested by Mr. Patten that the court had no) jurisdiction in the matter. Judge Riner's decision in answer | to Mr. Patten’s case, relieves the| serious aspect of a case that threat- | ened to inconvenience the city and cause much material loss. Redding- ton’s case was based on an old con-| tract made with city officials for the | erection of a city hall. The agree- ment stipulated that he should draw plans for the building and that. if the plans were accepted and the city could bond the erection of the build+ ing, he was to receive the stipulated percentage. However, the city was unable to_ bond the work at the time Mr. Red- dington’s plans were drawn up and the matter was dropped. When the subject was opened again a new! architect was employed. Mr, Redding- ton based his action on the fact that the building was erected, despite the fact that his plans were not used. Since the United States court shed the case for lack of jurisdic- | and charged the entire costs of | the case to the plaintiff it is unlikely of the that Casper will experience any avhan shelved by more am- further difficulty in the matter. mgsters a e most part these—both OQ —~——- ——_— —~-—______r kinds—are actuated from a desire to ine | sec the party make srood in the ac- Business College News complishment. of. few i subse friend. corruptin personal us far As nd many on legis- nfluences go, are beneficial in the imp: lation thei vities leave.
