WISCONSIN BLUE BOOK


  Each house elects its own officers, except that the Lieutenant Gov-
ernor, under the constitution, is the president of the senate with
power to cast a vote in case of tie. The corresponding officer in the
assembly is the speaker, who is an assemblyman elected by the mem-
bers. The other Officers are a chief clerk and sergeant-at-arms in
each house who are elected by the members. All the employes of the
legislature are appointed under civil service rules. These employes
are under the direction of the chief clerk and sergeant-at-arms of
the respective houses.

  Meetings of the legislature are held in the senate and assembly
chambers in the state capitol. Under rules of the houses daily ses-
sions are held which, unless otherwise ordered, begin at 10 a.m. and
usually last until noon or a little later. Frequently the houses be-
gin work earlier than 10 a.m. and they often hold night sessions.
Toward the end of each regular session the houses meet practically
continuously.
