SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Jan. 20. -Ex. Con.
Rressman William E. Mason wss nosni.
mated for United States senator at tho
Republican joint caucus last night
after one OF the most bitterly fought
battles in the history Of the Republican
party in Illinois. Although he had
been canvassing the state as Q soma
torial candidate for two years Mr..
Mason's selection was regarded BY
.smachine'' politicians as an lmpossl'
bility up to within two hours OF tho
time of his triumphant and unanimous ~
nomination, the choice being the result
of the sudden withdrawal from the
race of Congressman William Lorlmer'
who, had held a.
The Almost Solid Vote
of Chicago and Cook county. The con.
test had been SO long drawn out and
the battle SO fierce that the: legislators
were in q mood to be stampeded at any
moment as the hour for the caucus
drew near, and the sudden shifting OF
the Cook county forces to Mason car
ried the other candidates off their feet.
The tide turned toward the ex'congress-
man with q rush that carrled every
thing before it and the nomination was
made without the most feeble show OF
opposition. :.
MIR. Mason's selection was distinct
defeat for the combination OF polltl-
clans known as 1.-The machine" and
clear victory for the Mckinley forces
ot the state. 80 =.
