STILL REMAINS UNSOLYED|
rWO CANDIDATES WITHDRAW AND
ANOTHER ENTERS RACE.
ASsemhlymAn MeGreecr Looming Up in
the Balloting and Deadlock Interest
Unabsied Difficult 10 Prophesy
Where the Tosa will Land.

At Madison, early last week, the
withdrawal of Congressman Cooper fol-
lowed quickly the 'tirement of Mr..
Lenroot from the race for United States
senator. Naturally, these Withdrawals
would have suggested an end to the
long -draWn-Out contest. The tension
appears to have frightened with Steph-
enson, Esch and Hatton as trio. To
add to the complexity of the situation
number of the supporters of Lenroot
and Cooper centered upon the we'll
known former Platteville Normal prin-
cipal, Assemblyman Duncan McGregor,
and they have made his vote quite equal
to the best of them.
Stephenson has been leading for a
week, his highest vote going to 81, or
20 less than a majority of the republi-
can caucus, and less than half the votes
necessary to elect in joint convention.
Hatton's best vote is 25, Esch, S %, Nc
Gregor 23.
Later-Last night came near the cri-
sis, when Stephenson S caucus strength
went to As votes, lacking only four of a
majority. The men who had voted for
Mr. McGregor, lead by Speaker Ekern,
went in body to Stephenson. Amid
much confusion the caucus adjourned.
ToDAY'S JOINT SESSION.
Todays joint ballot gave Stephenson
A, Esch 2S, Hatten 26, Bird Demo
craft II. There were 16 scattering votes.
Motion to adjourn joint session until
7:30 this evening, was carried by vote
of IA to 40, the Stephenson forces OPP
posing the recess.

THANKS. BRO. SESSIONS.

One Of the brightest papers In the
state Is being published at Philip,
Stanley County. The paper is 26 weeks
old. but is a neat, 7-column Quarto,
filed with ads and news. While In
Philip last month with the Sioux
Falls boosters brigade, we visited the
Review Office and found 1t In fine
shape. But the question is, where
does Mr.. Ra!ney get all his ads? His
raper Is one of the best boomers
Philip could have. One would think
to look at 1t that Philip was town
of at least 5000 people, But 1t is only
a year old. Yet 1t is advertising a
lecture course for this winter.-Sioux
