epAciaf 70 Tlmss-Rspublican.
Dss 1Gotnas, Jan 7l-Ths senatorial
matter has not been cleared IN the least
today, 20 the leaders say. Tue Kenyon
ana Young men are demanding thst the
candidates who receive small number
Of votes shall withdraw. and insist that
It should be brought down to not more
than three candidates.
Last night Byers asked his support
ers to deliver their votes to others, at
least for the present, and this will be
done. Tho supporters Of Garst do not
believe this would help matters any and
will continue to vote for him tho he
has not asked them to remain.
standpats Disturbed.
Il was learned today that the stand
patters arc greatly disturbed over the
restlessness which Is manifest and that
they are planning some way to get rid
Of the annoyance Of being compelled to
cast their ballots at least once each day
in order to maintain the deadlock to
the end Of the session. They have asked
lawyers to investigate and see II there
Is not some way they can arrange 1t
that the balloting may be abandoned or
that a vote be taken once each week by
making legislative day for each week
and merely taking vote at noon. thus
voting only one day out Of the entire
week.
They have set Harding. Of Woodbury..
to this task Of devising some way for
getting them out Of their dilemma, and
no will prepare an argument to show
that 1t IL not necessary to ballot ev-
cry day to maintain the deadlock thru
the session.
No Hsadwsy Made.
Tho determination on the part of
leading legislators that this week at
least shall sec some positive steps in
the direction Of loosening up the dead
lock II very strong with the members.
Leading republicans realize that IL Is
up 70 them to do something. that no
headway at all is being made by the
old familiar scheme Of 1ockeying as
between the candidates and each one
trying to steal away few Of the weak
Aistero from the other. None of the
really big mon Of the republican party
afs open to the kind Of arguments that
arc being used. None of them are maxi
'1nE any changes. The shifting about
II nothing more than a symptom Of
I1estlessness.
Kenyon Men Busy.
The Kenyon mon are doing the most
work. They have the only real lobby
which has been here during tho ses-
sion. They have an abundance of
workers and have avenues for reach
inG the public that arc closed to all
Others. Besides they have started the
policy Of building back fires for the
Legislature. One member who stated
last night that he would have to
change to Kenyon at once declared
they have had agents in his county and
have been bombarding him with let
tors and petitions until he can no
l1onEer resist the pressure. The plan
lof the Kenyon men Il, and has been all
IaIorg, TO gradually gather strength for
their candidate so that at the critical
tirns they can elect their man with the
otandpat votes declared to be pledged
for him and ignore the leaders among
