,-**%*4*++*+++%++<+%<<%*%


and Feely two on the joint ballot taken
in representative hall today.
In the vote the first change was
that of Finlayson, who Changed from
Garst to Feely. In moment later
Fraley. of Polk, changed from Young
to Fcely.
Tine only absent mcmber was Mil
ler, of Bremen. democrat The next
change down the line was that of Neal,
who had voted rcr Wilson yesterday.
but changed to Byers today.
The joint assembly met just ut noon
for the first formal ballot for senator.
All last night and this morning the
friends of candidates had been busy.
but none of them would state that amy
great change was expected in the vote
today In fact. they all admitted that
no changes are expected for some time.
The Kenyon men came to the city
in great force last night and spent a
large part of the night at work to
increase their vote, but the regular
progressives We're sure that the vote
for Funk would not be decreased.
There were many rumorS of with
drawals and the dropping of this OF
that candidate, but nothing definite
was known at the time the vote was
to be taken.
No One Wants primary.
With tho t;tEin" of the first joint lsai-
lot il, tn. legislature there was conl-
menced the long expected and much
planned for deadlock in She Legislature
over the senatorship. The opinion is
common that 1T Will be some time
before there is any tendency to break
away and to secure an election. iTol
one thing. 1t has Been fully disclosed
that absolutely nobody wants anything
else than an election. The talk for
l~,l toll ,,,r;, has. a
appeared and nobody is willing to even
talk about 1t. In fact. the members
say they have been bored to death on
that subject and that when there is
business to be done i'm the way OF
trying honestly and seriously to elect
a senator they do not care to talk.
A frantic editorial in the Capita
lowers not TO desert him. but to con-
tinue the deadlock indefinitely, was
taken by all to indicate fear that the
standpat support will leave Young al
most any time and go to one of tho
conservative candidates for the place
1t is known that some of the mer
who at first would vote for Young in
their votes will do good. II Is known
also. that very great pressure is be
ing brought upon the Young contingen
to 80 in body to Kenyon and tina
the ns..nagers of the latter expect tina
this will he Gone.
