DEADLOCK IN KENTucKY.
BecHman or No senator, Is the Cry
of His Friends.


FRANKFORT. KY, Feb. IT,
The Kentucky general assembly has
balloted for exactly month in an
effort to elect a United States sena-
tor to succeed James B. McCreary
and today is apparently no nearer an
election than 1t was ON the day the
first ballot was taken. On the first
vote former Governor Beckham, who
had been nominated at the demo-
cratic primaries, received sc votes,
former Governor Bradley, republic
can caucus nominee, GA votes, while
seven democratic votes were scat
tered and one republican has been
absent through illness.
The relative strength Of the two
candidates IS practically the same as
when the voting began. During the
four weeks intervening, however,
the limit of politics has been played
by both democrats and republicans
in the effort to secure an advan-
tage in the race and break the dead
lock. The principal vehicle for
charges and counter-charges has
been a bill to extend the provisions
of the county unit local option pro-
hibition law uniformly to all coun-
ties OF the state. The republicans
have charged that /the Beckham
democrats have used this bill as a
legislative football trying first to
deal with the recalcitrant democrats
first by holding up the bill, and fall
ing in this, to hang 1t over their
heads as a punishment for their re-
fusal to support the democratic nom
inee On the other hand, the pro-
hibition democrats assert that the
republicans have violated the en-
phatic declarations of their last state
platform by voting with the so-called
liquor democrats to delay the bill.
The constant effort of the demo-
Gratis who are opposing Beckham has
been to present the name Of some
democrat who might prove powerful
enough to induce some of the Beck
ham men to desert him. Senator
McCreary, Henry Watterson, former
Senator Blackburn, Colonel ]. r.
