KENTUCKY DEADLOCK STILL ON
Months BaIIOtinR for Senator with
out Result Except Preventing
Legislation.

FRANKFORT KY, Feb. 16-The Ken
lucky general assembly has ballotted for
exactly a month in an effort to elect a
United States senator 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 nom-
mated at the democratic primaries, re-
ceived 66 votes, former Governor Bradley,
republican caucus nominee, GA votes, while
seven democratic members were scattering
and one republican absent through illness.
During the month in which the balloting
has proceeded Beckham gained back Sena-
tor Tabb, who voted against him the first
day, but lost Representative Blair, while
Representative Denman, who was i'll, has
recovered and is now voting for Bradley,
making the relative standing Of the two
candidates practically the same as when the
voting began.
During the four weeks intervening. how
ever. the limit OF politics has been played
by both democrats and republicans in the
effort to secure an advantage In the race
and break the deadlock.

BoNESTEEL, 8. D., Feb. 16.-(special)-
A bitter county-seat fight is now in full
swing in Gregory county. About the first
OF January the towns of Herrick and Burke
started out with petitions. and both were
successful in procuring numerous sigma
lures, praying that the county seat be
moved from Fairfax TO their respective
towns. When the county commissioners
convened the first OF January both towns
were on the ground in fun force, and each
was we'll supplied with legal talent OF
various grades. The county commissioners
could not determine whether or not they
had the authority TO settle the question.
There seemed to be a question among law
yers as to whether or not Fairfax was a
permanent county seat and the commits
sioners refused to act on either petition
until the courts had ruled on that question.
The town of Herrick forthwith got out a
writ OF mandamus and the circuit Judge
ordered the commissioners to meet at once
and consider the Herrick petition. The
county commissioners forthwith convened
at Fairfax Large delegations from Her
rick and Burke. as well as lawyers from
all parts OF the county are In attendance.
