DENVER, Col, Jan. 20.-Both houses
OF the general assembly balloted for
United States senator today, and Hen
ry M. Teller received fifty votes, only
one less than is needed to elect. SEN
ators Mcclure, a Democrat. refrained
from voting, but he has frequently said
ne would vote for Teller if it should
appear that he could be elected. Only
TWO republican senators were in the
senate chamber, and they did not re-
spond when their names were called.
Soon afterwards the nine regular
republican senators, the two who were
expelled by the Democratic majority
and the eight contestants who had
been sworn in on the steps of the capt.
tol last night, assembled in the lieu
tenant governors room and formed q
separate organization. Senator M. z.
FarWel was electd president pro tenn.
=. II. Hogan secretary and Thomas Nc
Mahon ergeant-at-arms, the senate
officers previously chosen being order
ed removed. A ballot was then taken
for senator. A resolution was adopted
notifying the governor that the senate
mad organized and was ready for busi-
ness.
Disguised Republicans.
Two Republican senators, Drake, of
Laramie county, and Cornish. of Ell
Paso, left the Haggott senate and re-
turned to the senate chamber. where
they announced that they would act
with the regular senate" and would
no longer participate in a farce" I'm
der the constitution, Lieut.. Gov. Hag-
gott is presiding officer of the Joint
session, Which is to meet tomorrow to
vote for senator. He will insist that
the body over which he presided TODAY
was the regular senate, and it's vote for
senator should be accepted, The speak
ef OF the house will then be called upon
TO decide which senate shall be recog-
nfzed as regular. Comparison of the
Journals will show that no one has
been elected senator. 1t will then be
necessary for the joint session to pro-
ceed with balloting until senator is
chosen.
II the Democratic senate is recog-
nized and the house remains with Ifs;
present membership, as seems likelv.
Senator Teller will be reelected. On
the contrary, if the Republican senate
IS recognized there is likely to be no
election and the balIoting will con-
tinue Indefinitely.
The vote in the house for senator
was as follows. Henry M. Teller
(Dem), 25; Edward o. Wolcott
(Rep). IS; Frank c. Goudy (Rep.), 13;
irving HoWbert (Rep.), 6; N. w. Dixon
(Rep), 8.
The Republican senators met in
Lieut.. Gov. Haggott's chamber and bal
loted for senator. The vote was: Ed
ward o. Wolcott, 9; Frank c. Goudy,
4; Irving Howbert, 2; John w. Spring.
er' 1; Jesse Northcott, 1; N. w. Dix
on, 2.
Governor Won't Interfere.
Edward o. Wolcott, the leading Re-
publican candidate for senator, and
his followers are urging the governor
to call out the militia to place Hag-
gott and the Republicans in possession
Of the chamber.
Gov. Peabody said today that he
would not interfere. His friends are
advising him to keep his hands off
and they point out that if he recog-
nizes the Haggott senate no legislation
can be enacted at this session and the
state government must go without
funds for two years. as appropriation
bills could not be legally enacted.
The Republican leaders in the house
today refused to carry out the Wolcott
programme and unseat the eleven
Ara pahOe Democrats. The senate re-
mains in continuous session, but will

further aggression by the house. When
asked today regarding his attitude
with reference to the split in the sem
ate Gov. Peabody said:
Il am governor Of the whole people
and not Subservient to any clique Of
any political party and I will be guild
ed by the law and constitution in de-
Gliding which side of the senate should
be recognized. [ do not contemplate
limo militia %hinIx a
Colorado national guard too dignified
a body to do police duty, and that is
all that is required. There is no oc-
casion for bayonets. I think that the
police can keep ORDER
Rumors Plentiful.
Aside from variously credited ru-
mors there is little material change IN
the situation tonight. The house held
a short session tonight, but did no
business, adj0urning until 10 o'clock
tomorrow. 1t is understood that un-
less the two branches of the senate
shall have settled their differences be-
fore noon tomorrow the house will re-
fuse to enter a joint session and may
adjourn for three days.
There is we'll defined rumor that
Gov. Peabody has notified Lieut.. Gov.
Haggott that he will not recognize the
Republican senate nor give certifi-
cate OF election 10 the senator elected
by it. This ruInor cannot be confirmed.
Another rumor is that four Of the Re-
publican senators who have been
meeting with the other Republicans
and the lieutenant governor will re-
turn to the senate chamber and resume
relations with the Democrats tomorrow
morning. Conferences looking to a
settlement of the trouble have been
going on all day and tonight 1t is said
that the Republicans asked that the
two senators unseated last night be
restored and that some of the Demo-
Gratis are in favor of reinstating one of
them, thus making the vote a tie on
joint ballot.
The Republican senate has adjourn
ed until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning,
While the Democratic senate is still in
session, and its members declare that
they will not leave the chamber until
a senator is elected or the session ex-
pires by limitation.
