SENATOR KYLE The VICTOR
Is Elected With the Help of the
Solid Republican Vote.
IonQ and Bitter Contest Ended With
the Return of kyic--Conserva-
tives Pleased That the
Trouble Is Over.

Pierre, Feb. 1S.-By a combination OF
republicans and the stalwart friend of
Kyle, the senator was reelected to the
United States senate today. To the OPP
position the result was a great surprise.
They have feared for some time that
some republican votes would go TO Kyle
the avalanche was not expected to-
day and when the republican members
changed their vote to Kyle, which they
all did, with but a single exception there
was CONSERVATION in the opposing
.amp. All kinds of parliamentary tao
tics were resorted To to break the force
Of the blow. but il was Of no avail. The
50 votes for Kyle against SO votes for all
others told the story that the agony was
over; hat kylc's opponents had met
with defeat, II that the senator would
return to the desk at the national cap
ital a veritable free lance wearing the
shackles of no party II owing but very
little to the party he did SO much to put
In power in his state. Politically the
result of the election will make no ma
terlal difference. as during the election
it was tacitly understood that should
fusion win Kyle would be elected. the
only difference being that the fusion
that did elect him was not contemplate
Personally the election will mater
tally modify numerous ambitions, but
all are pleased that the bitter and ac-
rimonious contest is finally at an end.
