The Republican caucus to select a
candidate for United States senator last
night brought forth nothing new in the
senatorial situation. 1t developed the
fact that the lineup on senator Is al
most as had been figured out for sew
eral days.
One funny thing happened. The bal
lots were all open, taken by roll CALL
and that. too, against the wishes Of a
majority of the caucus. Senator Cub
bison made the motion, it came TO
roll call. and nearly every member was
afraid to vote against it.
Some members are ungraciOus enough
to say that Cubbison was playing to the
grandstand when he made the motion,
and that he himself did not want the
open ballot. Tt started almost immedi-

ter Senator Morrow as chairman of the
caucus had raped for order, Cyrus Le-
land moved that each OF the Sena tOr1al
candidates be allowed to name sec
retary and teller in addition to the ones
named in the state printer caucus the
night before. This was so every man
could have representation on the count.
The following We're named.
For Bowersock. Stubs and Crum.
For Calderhead: King and Kirkland.
L.uTrfg- Jones of Cove and E8T
bach
For Long. Porter and Campbell of
Meade.
For Stanley: C'Donneu and jerks.
Then the roll was called and it show
ed 129 members present, every one ex-
cept Senator Fullingtou.
Then it was that Cubbison got into
the game
II mave." he said. that the balloting
on United States senator be open: that
the roll be called and each member state
the candidate for whom he votes"
Senator Pestana second the motion
and then Senator Cubbison continued.
when I made this motion ] did not
expect 1t to carry. I do not expect it TO
carry now. But believe the time has
come when the representatives of the
people of Kansas should be open and
above board i'm what they do. Our con-
stituents have right to know Just how
we vote on this matter This can be
only accomplished by open ballot. Every
and be counted"
The motion was put and perhaps 20
voted for the motion as nearly could be
distinguished by their voices. Probably
the same number voted against it, and
roll call was demanded Then it was
that the members began to finch. Near
ly every man realized that if he voted
no he would be suspected of an inten-
tion to flop Some of them probably
had some such intentions. others
thought they knew of members who
would dop their way and they wanted
to give them a chance, but they did not
dare to 90 on record against the motion.
Only two members did so. Senator Al
len and Adams OF Butler and their
names came among the first on the list
When the vote by voice was taken
Senator Fred d. Smith was among the
lOudest to vote against the prOpOslti0n
but when the roll was called he meeIzlv
voted for it, The reporters al the press
able gave him the laugh
What are you fellows laughing at2''
he demanded, holding up his hand.
TDidn't you see had my fingers
crossed when I voted2"
Stavely Of Usage moved that the floor
Of the house be cleared Of everyone ex~
cept members of the caucus and the
newspaper reporters but Snator NOftz-
ger said he had constituents there whu
had come To watch how he voted ana
they had a right to stay and see him
He spoke with much vehemence ana
shook his head fiercely. Tt was sug
gested that the galleries could be openef
to the spectators, but the motion was
voted down.
