The adlCcked States.

The breaking of the Utah senatorial dead
lock leaves but two state legislatures wrest-
ling with the problem of choosing members
of the upper house of Congress. In South
Dakota ii is a plain case of the dominant
party being unable to agree upon a can
didate. The populists have 62 votes in
joint ballot to IS controlled by the republi-
cans, but those g. votes are split up among
three men, and the combined votes of all
three would alone bring about result.
But there are signs of disintegratiol in the
blockade and an election is looked for daily
The situation in Oregon is more awkward
and may lead to a very complicated case.
The senate refuses to recognize the organi-
cation of the house and a contest before
the national Senate later is among the
possibilities. 1t is interesting to note that
in Utah. as in Idaho. republican cast the
deciding ballot In Idaho this republican
was the only one of his party in the legis-
lature. and in Utah the balance of power
on the last ballot was held by one of the
squad of four republican legislators.
