THE SENATORIAL DEADLOCK.

| AAAA SkAN%AAORAAA OkbADAOCN.
Judging from the daily associated
press reports it is very doubtful of
either Delaware, Nebraska, Montana
or Oregon legislatures being able to
break the senatorial deadlocks that
now prevail in those states. It is to
be regretted that the Republicans,
when they are in power, Of the Dem
ocrats, when they are in power, or
any other party when such party has
the majority Of the members of a
legislature, to not be able to decide
upon candidate for the United
States senate. 1t is folly for two,
threes four, or any number of lead
ing men Of a state, regardless Of their
political power and prestige, to ex-
pect to be elected to the United
States senate at the same time. Only
one can be, inasmuch as there is but
one to be elected, and when men
worth their millions are contending
and struggling in the various legis-
latures for a seat in the United
States senate, it is very evident that
fraud and money are being used
almost lavishly for the purpose of
bribing various members into fight
ing for this or that candidate for
the United States senate. Almost
without knowing it, the members Of
such legislatures find themselves on
the auction block and being cried off
to the highest and best bidder for
their vote for a United States SEN
ator, and it is remarkable the amount
IF money that is expended on such
occasions. When a member Of the
legislature is offered all the way
from $4,000 to $4,000 for his vote
for d United States senator, it shows
very conclusively that there is but
little hope Of honest, honorable men
ever being elected to the United
States senate. While there are few
men who would turn such PROPOSE
ton town, The Republican is Of the
opinion that such are few and far
apart. Every time a United States
senator is to be elected, and dead
lock ensues from such election, it
should more convincingly prove to
the general public that United States
senators should be elected by a pop
ular vote. Many Of the states now
favor such proposition, and it is
to be hoped that the United States
congress will favor and likewise sub
nit it to the voters at some subse-
quent election.
