"After nearly four weeks Of fruitless
balloting the senatorial deadlock con-
tlnues to irritate public opinion and to-
interrupt the work of the legislature

ton and devotion menace the public
welfare. Any one Of the party camps
may indefinitely defer the election of
a senator; insofar as 1t satisfies to keep
other men from winning. there is satis-
faction for s,l, but this mean motive
should not be permitted to control the
situation for single day.
"since settlement thru the usual me-
dunn Of a party caucus has been aban-
doned. it seems likely that the strain
Of events Of the passing weeks makes
more and more remote the chances OF
who have been most promi-
nently considered. Senator Young and
Judge Kenyon may not so conclude.

lease my loyal supporters and urge
them as best they may to contribute to
the quickest and best possible solution
Of this difficulty.
$50 with grateful acknowledgment
for the consideration given my candi-
dacy and indulging the earnest hope
THAT in this act am making some
measure Of contribution to the welfare
Of my state and my party T cheerfully
accept the situation as it has de-
veloped.'
