KURT7ITES CAN'T AGREE.
Several Democrats Refuse to Vote for
Republican for United
Statcs SenntOr,

Columbus. o., Jan. l0.-The caucus of the
Democratic members of the legislature at
the Great Southern tonight recessed at
II 30 till midnight to enable the steering
committee to confer again with Mr.. kurtZ.
There Were absent from the caucus on ac-
count of sickness Senator Jones. of Wayne
county, and Representative Cramer. of
Paulding. The claims as TO the number of
Democrats who had purposely remained
away were various. but the most accurate
information places il at five. There were
said to be at least five Democrats in the
caucus who refused TO vote for any one
except Democrat for senator. and efforts
were centered in bringing these members
into line TO vote for Republican to de-
feat Senator Hanna.
The Democrats who refuse to vote for a
Republican talk of casting their votes for
John j. Lentz, the present congressman
from the Columbus district. II is said that.
mt "A conference of the steering committee
with Mr.. kurtZ. the latter claimed that he
could produce eight Republicans to vote
against Senator Hanna. and that he had
two and probably three votes up his sleeve.
il was claimed that aflidavitS We're pro-
duced 10y Mr.. KurtZ from the eight Repub-
licanS. but this was denied on good au-
thority. The prospects are that the caucus
will last all night. though several of the
Democrats stated that if conclusion Were
not reached in II reasonable time they
would retire.

His Term of Service Did Not End
With the COnveninE of the
LegisIature.

examined the precedents say that the ap-
pointment of senator by the governor, as
in the case of Senator Hanna, holds until
the legislature elects or adjourns. Con-
gress having provided by law that a legis-
lature cannot elect until after it has been
in session two weeks, would provide for a
vacancy if the appointee of the governor
held only until the legislature met. In the
past senators appointed by the governor
have held their offices until the legislatures
have chosen their successors. In one case
a senator held through an entire deadlock
in the legislature, and tried to retain his
seat when the legislature adjourned. but
after the matter was discussed in the sem
ate the seat was declared vacant on ad-
journment of the legislature.
