Lawmakers Getting Ready for Business
Washington December Fourth. At noon the capital presented an animated scene as nearly every senator and representative gathered. The galleries were packed and tickets were scarce. The Senate adjourned to honor the late Senator Platt. The House began seating and committee-work planning, with Connecticut members busy arranging posts. Speaker Cannon and Vice President Fairbanks barred flowers. Several committee assignments and vacancies were noted, with Brandegee and Phelps among clerks and aides preparing for reorganized committees. Visitors toured the Capitol, admiring a restored interior and fresh fixtures after nine months. Separate measures on land laws, timber and desert lands were discussed, with Lacey expected to introduce bills to repeal parts of the desert land and timber and stone acts. Overman planned a commission to study world market conditions to aid U.S. exports.
