DUNCANN OR ASKS PASSAGE AT ONCE OF GENERAL APPROPRIATION BILL
The first called session of the thirty second Texas legislature convened at 10 oclock with a quorum in both houses. The appropriation bill would spend 9271196 to run the state for two years and a mileage and per diem bill seeks 30000 more. The contingent expense bill would set aside 10000 for member expenses. The house opened with prayers and expected friction as factions brace for a quick bout over leadership and policy. Charles P. Burkes won as sergeant at arms with 76 votes to 40 for Sam Higgins. Escavaille led for assistant sergeant at arms with 69 votes to 50 for J E Sheldon. Doorkeeper candidates were also nominated.
