AntI-0uayItes Divided Votes,

United States senator leaves the result
very much in doubt IL is Senator Quay
against the field and the indications are
that there will be a deadlock lasting
some days at least. The Republicans
are divided between Mr.. Quay and
eight "favorite sons, and the Demo
orats are united on George a. jerks,
The senate and house voted separately
and they will take ballot today IN
joint session.
There was no election and should the
ballot show no election today the bal.
loting will continue daily until election
is made. Senator Quay's total strength
in both houses was ll2 votes, IS less
than the number necessary to elect ON
Joint ballot assuming that the full men,
bershlp OF 254 is present, a condition
that does not seem possible, as there
.are several on the sick list now.
The first ballot showed that there was
practically no break in the line of
either Of the Republican factions. Of
the original signers to the anti. Quay
pledge Senator Samuel A. Losch of
Schuy kill and Representative John l.
Shaw of Allegheny voted for Senator
Quay. Representative Frank L. Sny.
der Of Luzerne, who was too i'll to quail
NY when the legislature organized, took
his scat. de was claimed by both fac.
lions and pleased neither by voting for
Alvin Markle, the HaZleton millionaire
coal operator and banker. ,
The 81 Republican senators and mem.
bers who signed the second anti. Quay
pledge voted as they promised. Repre-
sentative Clinton Rogers Woodruff of
Philadelphia, who was opposed to Sena.
tor Quay, but declined to act with his
opponents, voted for President Judge
Charles Il. Rice of the superior court.
This made 52 votes which the anti. Quay
leaders claim Senator Quay cannot get
while he Is candidate, Representa-.
tiye Timhn (Dem.) of Lackawanna,
cast his ballot for Superior Court Judge
Peter p. Smith of Scranton. He was
the emily Democrat who failed to vote
for jerks, the party choice.
The essence of the situation is that so
long as the anti-Quay Republicans are
united and the Democrats vote TOR
jerks, Senator Quay cannot be re.
elected. His friends are confident.
however, that he will steadily gain
votes after today, while the leaders of
the other side are just as confident that
he has reached the high.water mark.
Governor Stone is the senator's friend |
and is aiding him in his campaign.
The senator is on the ground managing
his canvass, and expects to stay during
the early stages of the contest.
The antl-Iuay Republican senators
and members agreed to meet daily until
the fight is settled. They are divided
on congressman Dalzell and Stone ana
other independent Republicans. Their
leaders say 1t is too early to concentrate
on one Candidate against Senator QUAY.
There does not seem to be any prospects
OF a combination between the anti. QUAY
Republicans and the Democrats on the
senatorship. Although not a single
vote was cast in either house for sen.
ator Chris l.. Magee of Pittsburg, he is
regarded as most important factor in
the contest.
He has for years been opposed to
Senator Quay's control of the state, but
he declined TO stay away from the Re.
publican caucus, of which he was made
the nominee, and voted for him during
the balloting. The Pittsburg senator
and his friends took part in the caucus
and showed their opposition to Mr..
Quay by voting for b, +. Jones of Pitts
burg. Before the vote was announced
Mr.. Magee moved to make Senator
Quay's nomination unanimous. The
motion carried, and the Pittsburg sena.
tor has since abided by the decision of
the caucus. This has made him popu.
lar with the friends of Senator Quay
and did not apparently diminish his
popularity with the anti-Quay Republi.
cans. Many of Senator Magee's friends
In both factions are predicting that
their favorite will be chosen to succeed
Senator Quay IN the event of it being
demonstrated that the latter cannot
win.
When Jne senate met Lieutenant
Governor Goblin announced that agree.
