SLIGHT CHANGES ONLY
Everybody Is Waiting for the
Grand Jury.
A SCRAP IN THE SENATE
a Lively Discussion-All the Bal
lots Will Be Recounted-The
Vote for Senator.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.

Helena, Jan. li.-Ine slight changes
in to-days senatorial vote have no spe-
cial significance. Clark lost one vote
through the absence of Eversole, who
/ on Monday changed from Toole to
| Clark. Conrad lost two, Senator Clark
| and Senator Norris who, after voting
| for Conrad for two days, went back
! to Toole as their first choice, thereby
| increasing yesterdays total for Toole.
| No sensational developments are ex-
! pected at to-morrows joint ballot, and
1t may be several days before the pres
ent situa ton will show material change
in any direction. All the members and
| in fact all the people in Helena are
| pricking up their ears eager to hear
news from the grand jury ROOM You
can hear almost any kind Of rumor you
want Tonight but it is extremely i'm
| probable that any of the reports are
backed by anything better than
guesses The grand jury, it is said,
made fair progress in it's work. Some
of the Clark people were on the wit
ness stand. The sheriff's officers were
around the hotel tonight subpoenaing
been subpoenaed?" is the one question
which everybody is asking everybody
else. How long it will take the grand
jury to complete its work is proble-
| matical, possibly it will not be ready
to report before Monday.
There was preliminary SCRAP in the
senate this morning over the Whiteside
introduced a resolution that only the
bailots cast in certain precincts of
Flathead county where Geiger, the re-
publican contestant, alleges irregu-
larities occurred be brought to Helena
to be counted by the senate. This was
contrary to the spirit of the report of
the committee on elections, which rec
commended a recount of all the ballots
cast in Flathead county. An amend
ment to Hoffman's resolution embody-
ing the committees wishes finally pre-
vailed by mighty close vote All the
republicans and all the Clark demo-
Gratis except one, Senator Cullen voted
Tor the Hoffman resolution. All the
