Politics at MandaIe.
BY w. H. DUFFY.

Copyright, 1902 by Daily Story Pub. Co.
All during the sixty days strenuous eff
forts had been made on the part Of the
majority to select a senator, but during
the campaign of the fall before it had
been openly stated that the legislator Of
the coming session who did not go home
fixed for life would be foolish Both
sides were expected to use enormous sums
of money, and the senatorship was ex-
pected to be the prize of the man who was
willing to pay the most for it. This was
the sentiment of a large number of peo-
pie during the campaign.
Long before the first ballot for the
senatorship had been cast on the second
Tuesday of the session, the leaders OF
the majority had decided that as they had
elected majority of the members of the
body, there would be no necessity for
them to buy the votes already theirs.
They held that the men could not have
the gall to go back on the constituents
who had elected them, and besides, a
clean election would give their party a
large amount of prestige, as it would
serve to give a knockout blow to the
rumors of corrupt uses of money in legis-
lative halls, when their party was in con-
troll.
When the first ballot was cast the votes
of the majority were badly scattered, but
day by day, as the balloting proceeded,
and the session came nearly to an end,
it was evident that the votes of the ma
jority We're simmering down to two candi-
dates, but it was also evident that this
state OF affairs was the result of the
clever wire-pulling of the opposition, as
the candidates were old rivals and one
would never give way to the other.
The minority, on the other hand had
been hanging closely together, and it was
clear that they were being unanswered by
clever political Schemer. During the
early part of the session that had cast
their S. votes for former Representative
Moore, a man who had borne a spotless
reputation, but on the forty-ffth day Of
the sitting they switched and cast their
vote solidly for man who had the repu-
tation of being the smoothest politician in
the state-John Flaherty-who since his
defeat for congress four years before had
held a fat federal position and had built
up political machine powerful in its en-
Vironment When the minority switched
to Flaherty the leaders of the other side
began to look worried, for they knew that
the skillful politician would stop at moth
ing to secure an election.
Thus 1t went on during the remaining
days of the session, enough members to
cause deadlock or elect the minority
candidate, remaining stubborn and mean,
on account of not receiving the price for
their vote.
The session had just taken a five-min-
ute recess, after a twelve hours sitting,
and the members were just getting back
to their seats from the saloon across the
street. The floor of the house was
crwded with lobbyists for the minority,
who had been brought from all parts of
the state to lend moral courage" to the
men who were to be purchased, and was

Everybody listened as if expecting an
answer, but none came, the members to
whom these burning remarks had been
addressed continued to carry their half
ashamed, half-defiant look
Who is hep repeated the speaker
Inc silence became painful but still
no reply was forthcoming Just as the
awful quiet seemed to reach the point
where 1t was unbearable, a shriu. sharp
voice was heard
why don't you elect Hines?'
This seemed to strike the popular chord
and great hurrah for the old-time ex
governor went up from the majority
side. The members who were supposed to
have been purchased looked upon that
cry as their salvation, and they. too. took
1t up.
When the din had subsidized. AxteIl
raised his voice to it's highest pitch and
yelled to the clerk:
Record my vote for Hines
Inc excitement Quoted bit and the
vote proceeded. z Every man who had
been elected with the majority cast his
vote for the big-hearted ex-governor. At
its conclusion, amidaa deafening roar. the
clerk announced the result: Hines. AZ:
Flaherty, 35.
With a shout the president announced
the election of Hines, and then gave two
sharp raps with his mahogany gavel.
The hour of midnight having arrived.
l now declare this session adjourned sine
de-, he said. hses
An hour later, the house was practically
deserted. All had gone except two or
three members, who were still packing
their belongings. "A newsboy entered
with the morning Enterprise" telling all
about the election of the senator. Each
member remaining bought a copy, and
the boy fingered minute as he watched
them tie up a number Of large bundles of
paper.
Amt it funny that you fellers never
thought about electing Hines until 1 hol-
Tered 1T out from the back corner of the
lobby" he said.
The lawmakers looked at the ragged
boy, but said nothing.
