Ilarvell, Dyar and Sampson were appointed the committee; and the votes having been collected, as- sorted and counted, Mr. Ilarvell, for the committee, re- ported as follows : — Whole number of votes, 39 Necessary for a choice, 20 George R. Jones of Melrose had .... 39 Mr. Jones was declared elected, and was conducted to the chair by Messrs. Fletcher and Sullivan, and addressed the Senate as follows : — FELLOW SENATORS: For the great distinction jrou have bestowed in choos- ing me as the presiding officer of this honorable body 1 wish to return to you each and all my sincere and heart- felt thanks. Great as is the honor of the office, I feel the cordiality and sincerity which have attended its be- stowal to be far greater. I sincerely trust that the same spirit of harmony and good feeling may be apparent throughout all the deliberations of the Senate. This office I accept at your hands with a profound appreciation of all that is involved. It has been held in the past by many of the most illustrious sons of Massachusetts, and 1 now consecrate to its duties all that T possess, to the end that the high parliamentary standard which the Com- monwealth demands be maintained sacred and inviolable. May I ask of }rou in return your kindly sympathy and co-operation. The session upon which we are about to enter bids fair to be an important and busy one. Massachusetts is a progressive State and her people are a progressive people. One result of our great development is the ever-increasing amount of business presented to each succeeding Legisla- ture for consideration. My own judgment is, after long experience, that the legislativo e sessions can and should be shortened. There is a restiveness at over-legislation and over-long sessions which shows itself in many ways not desirable for the best interests of the Commonwealth. At the same time I am tirmly of the opinion that the quality of the legislation is of the first importance, and I do not think that there is either any public demand for the fixing of a Constitutional time limit for the legislative session or for any striking change in our present Consti- tutional system. All that is necessary I am confident can be accom- plished by a faithful adherence to a few simple methods of procedure, and by doing away with certain of our present methods not required by rule, but which by lono- usage and custom have the same practical force. There are many matters presented each year simply to be kept alive. They must of necessity wait until sufficient pub- lic sentiment is behind them to make them law. There is nothing new to be said on either side. Regarding such, I think the present custom of unlimited hearing a waste of legislative time. There are also many trivial matters where this seems unnecessary. No rule requires an advertised hearing upon any matter except when re- ferred with instructions, and I sincerely trust that com- mittees will exercise some discretionary power in this respect. I desire also to make the following suggestions. First, that the chairman of each joint committeesee to it that his committee is organized promptly and that matters be taken up immediately upon their reference, not wait- ing until the docket of referred matters is complete. In this way much business may be disposed of in January. Second, that it be a matter of pride that all hearings begm promptly on the hour assigned. We must remember that we are servants of the public, and that it is not right to impose upon petitioners the vexation of a long delay in the committee room. ° Third, that in matters where a great many petitioners appear and the testimony adduced must necessarily be cumulative, it is entirely proper for the committee to ask that the matter be presented by a specified number of peti- tioners and that a time limit be fixed for each speaker Fourth, that the committee refuse any unreasonable continuation of hearings. The custom of the courts' generally is to recognize that engagements of attorneys before committees of the General Court are paramount to all others, and, while in some intricate matters time must be given for proper development, I feel that there has been a tendency to impose upon the time and patience of the legislative committees. Fifth, that as soon as practicable after the hearino- is closed the matter be acted upon and reported. I most respectfully urge the adoption of these sue^es- tions as rules of legislative conduct. This Senate Chamber, in which we are assembled upon the opening day of the session of 1903, for more than one hundred years has been the Massachusetts forum. It is hallowed by many memories of the past, as well as by its association with the great men who have served within its walls and given their best to the service of Massachusetts. Their memory we delight to honor, and their example should arouse in us at once a spirit of emulation and in- spiration to be worthy of the trust imposed on us. In that spirit let us take up the duties of the session. On motion of Air. Nye, — Ordered, That a committee of three be appointed to cierk.

    Party Leaders in the United States Congress, 1789-2019 Valerie Heitshusen Specialist on Congress and the Legislative Process Updated September 4, 2019 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov RL30567 Party Leaders in the United States Congress, 1789-2019 Summary This report briefly describes current responsibilities and selection mechanisms for 15 House and Senate party leadership posts and provides tables with historical data, including service dates, party affiliation, and other information for each. Tables have been updated as of the report’s issuance date to reflect leadership changes. Although party divisions appeared almost from the First Congress, the formally structured party leadership organizations now taken for granted are a relatively modern development. Constitutionally specified leaders, namely the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate, can be identified since the First Congress. Other leadership posts, however, were not formally recognized until about the middle of the 19th century, and some are 20th-century creations. In the earliest Congresses, those House Members who took some role in leading their parties were often designated by the President as his spokesperson in the chamber. By the early 1800s, an informal system developed when the Speaker began naming his lieutenant to chair one of the most influential House committees. Eventually, other Members wielded significant influence via other committee posts (e.g., the post-1880 Committee on Rules). By the end of the 19th century, the formal position of floor leaders had been established in the House. The Senate was slower than the House to develop formal party leadership positions, and there are similar problems in identifying individual early leaders.
