throughout the caucus, but State
Chairman Walton took his place and
urged the remaining ones of the mi
nority TO continue voting for Suther-
land.
There was no change in the seventy
fourth nor the seventy-ffth ballots.
AT the end of the seventy-ffth, Rep
resentative Fisher proposed that when
the assembly dissolved, it be until
Monday at 1850 a. m. The motion was
carried without opposition, and then
Representative Cook moved dissolution,
but the motion was lost-20 ayes to 80
noes.
The seventy-sixth ballot gave the
same result as the first one taken on
reassembling, the only difference being
in Mrs. Cannon'S response TO the roll
call for the first time during the after
noon. The ballot gave McCune %:
King, II; Powers, 2; Cannon, s; Suth-
erland, IL.
The seventy-seventh ballot was the
same, and so also was the seventy
eighth Between these two ballots
Representative Wheeler moved for a
dissolution, but ~ opposed and only Is
favored the motion.
During the progress Of the seventy
ninth ballot Representative Belts said:
Il understand that this prolonged
balloting is for the purpose that our
friends will get assistance from the
Republican side of the house. If that
is the real fact of the case, l hope the
gentlemen contemplating to win such
a feat as that will do it and ease their
minds. l cast my vote again for w. H.
King"
by way Of reply, Representative Han
sen said: Representative Belts has
just stated that the prolonged balloting
this afternoon, in his opinion, is for
the alleged purpose of the majority side
securing the Republican VOTE The gen
tleman is entirely mistaken. The fact
is that we are simply trying to win
over such Democratic members with
mild dispositions as Mr.. Bets
A moment later Representative
Wheeler said: IF the McCuneites ex-
pect to get any support from Kings
solid 10. they are badly mistaken"
While the next ballot was in progress
Representative Farr took opportunity
to say:
81 have just been informed that the
assembly is continuing balloting. eX-
pecting me to change my vote. My
friend Cook, here, is waiting for me to
go over to o. w. Powers, I wish to
say that, I shall not change my vote
again today"
Il wish to state in reply to Mr.. Farr,"
said Representative Lapish. that the
entire Powers push voted for adjourn
ment a few moments ago. I vote for
o. w. Powers again"
WEIGH INDUCES IN IRONY"
On the eighty-second ballot Represen-
tative Welch arose to say:
This question is certainly assuming a
serious aspect. 1t has been stated here
that this continued balloting was in the
hope that the Republican members
would help settle the senatorial ques-
Il aur11 COW css~s ~
present we much prefer to have the
majority settle this question. We have
been asked by the gentlemen not to in
terfere, and viii comply with this re-
quest We certainly cannot afford at
present to allow this to continue, be
cause l imagine that two years hence,
when the ballots are presented to the
people, it will be written underneath
the rooster, instead of let it go at that
words like this: Thou art weighed in
the balance and found wanting 1 cast
my vote again for George Suther-
land"
At the conclusion of Mr. Welch's re-
marks, Senator PeeTy proposed a dis
solution, but the motion was voted
down.
To vary the monotony of the next
ballot, the eighty-third, Representative
Belts said. as he voted again for Judge
King, that he wished to tell his Re
publican friends that in two years from
now the Democratic rooster will still be
growing.
Then Senator Shurtliff moved for a
dissolution, but the noes overwhelmed
the ayes
the next ballot, the eighty-fourth,
and last of the day. developed no
change. 1t resulted just like the sew
enty-siXth, and intervening ones.
This time the motion for cessation Of
balloting and adjournment of the joint
assembly till Monday noon came from
the right side. Senator Evans, the Nc
Cune leader, made the motion. It pre-
vailed by vote of AZ ayes to Is noes.
