Ij^qutrichSl gjgjjagifgLiiAy-- 1 NO CONTEST FOR SPEAKERSHIP Scenes of Last Two Sessions Will Not Be Repeated; Leaders Back Sproul According to the Philadelphia news papers the Republican leaders in that city have decided that there shall be no contest for Speaker of the next House and that they will back Gov ernor-elect William C. Sproul in his desire for a capable Speaker, a good legislative program and a short ses sion. The Philadelphia Inquirer speaks in a very positive way to-day about the matter, saying: "Governor-elect Sproul has Inform ed the Republican leaders that he is in favor of a short Bession of the Leg islature, which convenes on the llrst Tuesday of January next, and ~lt has been tentatively agreed to support a resolution calling for final adjourn ment of the General Assembly on either April 17 or April 24 next." The i.quirer also .snys the Speaker has not been decided upon. The Philadelphia Record says that the Penrose and Varo factions un- NOVEMBER 14, 1918. nounced that Governor Sproul would name the next Speaker and that there would be no contest over the coveted position at the beginning of the now state administration. As the General Assembly Is overwhelmingly Repub lican, it is conceded that the Repre sentative selected by the next Gov ernor will be elected on the fli'st bal lot. It was also learned yesterday that the next Speaker will not bo a I'hlladelphian. The North American says: "Repub lican leaders have decided that the] next session of the Legislature, \vhich opens in January will be short. Gov ernor-elect Sproul is opposed to a long sesslqn and Senator Vare has told his follows that he is opposed to long recess periods." Senator Vare gives his views exten sively in the Public Ledger, which consistently opposes him. "I am going to' propose a session that will last not more than 100 days." said Senator Vare. "X am going to make that an issue at Harrisburg. It can be done If the members get down to work and quit wasting time by long vecesses. Legislative sessions usually last about six months. Every thing that we have to do can be done in from ninety to one hundred days if the members make an earnest effort to accomplish that end. Of course, if! the usual rule of working two-or three days eacli week is followed, the | session will be needlessly protracted . at great loss of time and greater ex pensc to the state. If a definite pro gram is mapped out at the beginning and conscientiously followed, there ia no reason why everything that is to be done cannot be done in Just half the time the Legislature usually is in session. Nothing need be slighted; legislation need not bo railroaded. Thorough consideration can be given all legislation in three months . ff the members will consent to work." Governor-elect Sproul's plana for a constitutional convention to bring about necessary changes in the con stitution of the state undoubtedly will win the support of the Vare wing remarks the Ledger. Senator Vare was asked his opinion on this matter yesterday. He replied that he express ed himself in favor of a constitutional convention two years ago and still was of the same mind.
