cratic vote. Then they forced a third
ballot, and it was this move that won
the Perkins victory. The third ballot
was taken without any change until
Senator McGow&n'd name was called,
The senator from Humboldt arose and
said that it was plain that majority oil
the Republicans were for George O.
Perkins, and he would. therefore with
draw the name of FELTON, and vote fol
Perkins. Everybody knew that this was
the deciding vote. and hearty cheer
greeted McGowan's announcement.
DR.. Noble Martin, the Democratic
senator from Dutch Flat. was on his
feet a moment later declaring his pref
erence for Perkins. He ssid he had
been Democrat for years before some
OF the senators were voters. He and
George G. Perkins had been In the sem
ate together and were friends for years.
Perkins was q friend OF the miners. and
he had their sympathies. They wanted
him to help them start the mining in
dustry again, and he would vote for
him. His people would approve his
action. The doctor was greeted with
Republican applause.
THE AssE MBLY HEARD FROM.
That Perkins had secured q majority
vote in the assembly became noised
about the senate chamber. and IL was
known at once that the votes of Nc
Gowan and Martin meant the election
of Perkins. There was great confusion,
and it was some minutes before the
president was able to announce that
Perkins had received 20 votes. one more
than required to elect. Then there was
more cheering. 1t was impossible to
resume business at that time and
recess was taken until 3 O'Clock.
Soon there was report around the
capitol that the senate had mot acted
within the law in taking more than one
ballot. it being asserted that the law
provided strictly that only one ballot
should be taken; but this was soon
found to be all wrong. Senator Perkins
is undoubtedly reelected and his cleo
ton will be declared by the two houses
in joint assembly at noon tomorrow. .
Tonight the politicians are all talking
about the manner in which this unex-
pected result was brought about. for
even the Perkins men did not believe
that their man would be elected on the
first ballot. There is no doubt that
DeYoung's managers were terribly sur
prised and that some OF their supposed
supporters "feli down." Their pro-
Rramme had been to divert Perkins
strength by bringing in numerous other
candidates and thus prevent an election
for several days. They had hoped
eventually to cause a stampede to
DsYoung. One senator and three
mblymen arc said to have been
relied upon by DeYoung's managers to
stand aloof from Perkins and vote for
sx.Lieutenant Governor Rsddick. This
action would have prevented the cleo.
ton of Perkins today. Not vote was
cast for Reddick. however, and the
senator and three assembly men voted
with the Perkins men from 6rst to last.
Senator Voorhees, and Ausemblymen
Tibbitts. Coleman and Dunbar had been
counted by the politicians as likely to
vote for Reddick.
