About An Extra Session.

It is quite probable that Gov. Hanly found a strong, sentiment among members of Congress in Washington against calling an extra session of the Indiana legislature. The Indianapolis Star correspondent at Washington in discus sing this matter quotes several members, among them was CongressmamLandis, of Delphi, who said, “I do not think an extra session should be called. Other reasons than those I have heard of will have to be advanced before I shall favor an extra session.” Representative Crumpacker will not talk for publication, but he. is classed among those who oelieve an extra session iii the highest degree inadvisable. It is possible Storms may resign, pressure having been brought to bear on him by friends, looking to that end. In that event the ses sion would probably not be called the state convention in Aprill could declare its position on the 2 cent railroad fares and on the proposed law requifiiig Treasurers to account for interest on public money. Should an extra session be called special elections would have to be held in the counties where senatorial or re resentative vacancies exist. There are seven of these vacanies, effecting thirteen counties. The resignation of Jesse E. Wilson as respesent dive to accept the federal appointment of Assistant Secretary «f the Interior, would call for an election in Lake and Jasper counties. The state pays the expense of such elections, but no ap> proximation of the cost can be secured.
