At the caucus after the adjourned session.
Senator Casey appe; red and withdrew from tho
race and asked that the caucus should receive
and act upon his withdrawal in the interest Of
the party and with a view to the parsy's preser-
vation-
There was tinse of bitterness in his remarks
when Senator Casey said he would not dwell
upon the absurdiuy. the unfairncss and almost
cruelty of SONS of the charges against him.
He expressed appreciation OF the loyal support
given him by large contingent and couclud-
ing, said:
1.-THE interests of the party are very dear to
me- an not willing TO leave QUO single excuse
to those who are cndangering its unity and
strength. Iprefer TO suffer wrong rather than
to let my personality stand in the way. Seeds
of dissension are now being sown which, unless
subdued will spread abroad and cover every
political pathway"

Wednesday, February 8.

The Republican caucus accomplished nothi as
at its meeting this morning.
Two ballots were taken and no increased
strength was shown for any candidate.
Senator Sorely. of Grand Forks, moved that
after one vote to day the joint assembly adjourn
sine die. This would give the governor power
to appoint.
The caucus adjourned without having con-
sidered Sorely's motion.
It Is believed that Gov Shortridge will appoint
w. II. Roach if the legislature does not elect.
Like SOrely. Roach is Grand Forks man, and
the action of Sorey can be taken as an indica-
tion of a disposition cropping out among mem
bers to the effect that the senatorial struggle
has been sufficiently prolonged, and that some
definite action must soon be taken by the dom
inant political party If they ever succeed.
The joint session dissolved after one ballot,
taken according 10 republican program, as fol-
