that his name occupied on the list gave

He voted for Henderson, as before.
When the name of Senator Cannon
was reached, that lady asked the privi-
! lege of making an explanation. and I'M
mediately received the close attention
of the assembly. When she had de-
cided upon her preference for senator,
she said, she had chosen two candi-
dates, a first and a second choice, and
both were thoroughly competent and
worthy. AS a Democrat she realized
that the great silver battle was now
on and while the silver forces owed
everything to the Democracy, the
Democratic party owed much to the
silver forces; the legislators owed their
present position to the great wave OF
silver sentiment. Therefore she had
selected as her choice a man who
would carry the banner of silver to
the very citadel of the enemy and hold
it there; a man OF power, known as the
champion fighter of the inter-mountain
region-Hon. O. w. Powers.
Senator Cannon's announcement was
delivered with such eloquence and fer
vor as would have done credit to her
silver-tongued candidate himself, and
the applause that followed was partly
for herself and partly for her candi-
date.
The three Republicans cast their
votes for Arthur L. Thomas, and the
announcement of their choice provoked
a smile, bat nothing more.
The roll call was concluded without
further incident, and resulted as fol-
lows: Thatcher. d; Henderson, 10;
Rawlins, IA; Nebeker, l; Powers, 1;
Lawrence, 4: Thomas. 3. 1t developed

The Henderson supporters sought to
take advantage of the favorable tide
by proceeding with another ballot at
once, but this was opposed by the COM
bined Thatcher and Rawlins forces.
Mr.. Shepard, the Rawlins leader of
the house, moved an adjournment to
11:50 O'Clock today, and the motion was
seconded by Senator w. G. Nebeker,
from-th Thatcher side.
Senator Hamer moved, as a substi-
tute, that the joint assembly proceed
to another ballot. This substitute was
supported by ali of the Henderson mem /
bers. but was defeated by the united
Thatcher and Rawlins vote, who ap-
parently did not care to risk another |
ballot.

then carried and the joint assembly |
