The standpa tiers held an informal
conference yesterday afternoon after
the close Of the days work and dis
cussed the situation sor a short time
In regard to the eenatorship.
They stated that they had determined
upon no course other than that which
they have been pursuing for some time.
They received reports as to tho situa-
hot iv,o
are voting for the candidate who Of the
three candidates is in the lead and has
been for some weeks, 1t was not their
place to make overtures for a change
in the situation. They will continue to
vote for Judge Deemer.
This much was brought out, that
some Of those attending the caucus did
not feel very we'll pleased with the in
formation they had to the effect that
now the main purpose of some Of those
who are supporting Judge Kenyon Is
not to elect him burt to encompass a
deadlock and to leave the state the
next two years with only one senator.
Information was brought to tho Deemer
people that the Kenyon men were
openly declaring this to be their pur-
pose and intention and that they have
no hope whatever OF electing senator.
but expect only to prolong and make
permanent q deadlock.
Some Disagree.
One Of the senators stated in the con-
ference that IL this was the true stu
alton then 1t was hardly necessary for
the majority to give way now. but
rather that they would be willing that
the minority should take responsibility
for the situation.
There are four or five Of the Deemer
men, however. who would be willing to
vote for Kenyon. and they protested
that this Is a hardly fair statement Of
the situation, but rather that the sup
porters Of Judge Kenyon must be given
credit for sincerity Of purpose and
honest desire to see their candidate
elected at this season. It was denied
that the Kenyon men would Ds wiii;nE
the end without an election in order to
at the primary to their advantage.
