TWELFTH DAY OF VOTING
BEGINS WITH A DEADLOCK
The Leading Candidate Holds His Own and the
Others Gain Nothing.
LapSh Wants Only One Ballot Daily For the Next Forty
DayS-He Goes to Powers.

Hanson, both Republicans, were alb
sent for the day
On the roll call for the fifty-ninth
ballot Representative Lapish said:
L am going to change my vote to-
day, and as my course may disappoint
some of my friends, 1 viii give my
reasons for so doing. l think when a
person is elected to represent others
in a legislative capacity if he is in
structed as to any certain point it is
his duty to obey those instructions; if
not, to vote in accordance with his
honest judgment. 1t is our duty to
elect a United States senator to repre-
sent us in congress, and it is a very
important duty and one that should
not be hurried through. The law is
that one ballot shall be taken every
day and the legislature is given until
the end of the session to make a choice.
/ am opposed to tanning this thing
through hastily. I take it that it is
my duty to cast my ballot for my first
choice until some one is elected or the
session nears its end. If the time eX-
pires before any choice is made L will
80 to the majority candidate; until
that time I shall again vote for my
first choice. 1t is a matter of convic-
ton with me. My friends may be dis
appointed, but [ cannot help ii. l vote

ed the same, except that Kings vote
