What May BE.
If the constitutional amendments should not
be adopted. or If found unconstitutional on
account OF being retroactive, which question
has been suggested, the election will 90 into the
legislature, which at the last reports stands 10
republicans 10 l2 fusion In the senate and S6
republicans to 65 fusion in the house, aud the
republicans will elect the L. S. Senator who
Will of course be republican.
The Result Uncertain.
The figures are SO close that only the official
count can decide the result unless decided gains
ale made or one side or The other in the re-
aiming towns. Owing TO errors, which must
occur In returns received in THIS way, even the
olfeTenCe between the tabUlatIOn OF the state
officials and the legislative committee may
change the result so that we can only report
the result as uncertain.
