if, at the end of those seven ballots
nobody had been elected, the joint
session would dissolve and the as

The First Ballot.
The first ballot tonight showed
Speer (dem.) 81; Ammons, tdem.l 80;
Roof (rep.) "a Two were absent. On
the next ballot with the full voting
strength present Speer got SO. From
the second to the seventh ballots the
anti-Speer democrats threw their en-
tire strength to various democratic
candidates while the republicans di-
vided their favors also. The Speer
strength remained firm
At the end of the seventh ballot,
before the official vote was announced
a number of legislators made pleas
for caucus at the last moment but
it was too late and a motion to dis
solve the joint session was adopted.
The houses Immediately went into
separate session but could do nothing
towards the election of a senator
The failure of the assembly to
elect a senator leaves Colorado with
only one representative in the upper
house for the next two years when
the legislature will be called upon to
elect two senators, one to fill the va
cancy and the other to succeed Sen
ator Guggenheim. AS the Oregon
4 direct election plan will be in effect
/ then, no deadlock is anticipated.
Governor is Powerless.
/ The United States senate will not
recognize any appointment that the
governor might make.
4 In every case where governor
appointee has sought admission to the
senate after a legislature has failei
to elect, the senate has decided against
the claimant.
! If the governor should convene an
5, extraordinary session OF the legisla-
4 ture for any purpose, another attempt
s. to elect a senator might be made, but
sopA authorities hold that the COVER
nor has no right to convene the
legislature for the purpose OF elect

Within half an hour OF the dissolu

adjourned sine die, bringing to an enc
