BILE and 50 they voted for adjournment.
1t was regarded as almost certain that
a second ballot would have resulted in
his election.
peemer Will BE Choice.
The Kenyon men called a conference
for l o'clock to decide upon a course Of
action. Some of the leaders are In IA
vor OF Joining in the vote for Deemer
and electing him, but others insist on
continuing the deadlock. 1t is regarded
as almost certain they will decide for
Deemer and elect him tomorrow. as the
standpatters have agreed to vote for
him again.
It has been arranged that the Garst
progressives will hold a conference this
evening and decide what they will do.
The Kenyon conference was not COM
pleted and no decision was made.
Specializing has already turned to
who the governor would name for SUI
preme judge in case of vacancy. and
n : suggestion that It might be Berry.
Of Warren county: Roberts. Of Wapello.
or Senator Saunders.
Why They Wers Scared.
The standpatters who first raised the
opposition to second ballot now assert
that they feared there were 80 many OF
their men absent that Keynon would
be elected.
It Is now known that many hot tele-
grams passed between here and WASH
ington before Young consented to with
draw. and the presence Of Roberts here
was what turned the scale.
0tatement lssusd BY 9tandpats.
A statement given out by the stand
a. o%
the roll call In the joint session said:
'Tt has been urged upon the support
ers 6f Senator Young that tho people Of
Iowa want solution of the deadlock.
With the sanction and advice of Sena-
tor Young and after conference among
themselves they are today putting into
the contest Judge Horace E. Deemer,
one Of Iowa's great men, In the hope
that his years on the bench have freed
him from factional prejudice so that he
may be acceptable to all the republic
cans Of Iowa. This is offered as sin
cere attempt to break the deadlock.
Leaders Of the faction having urged US
to bring out a harmony candidate on
which there could be no basis for quar-
rel, we believe we furnish such wher
we give our support to Judge Deemer.'
Young Forced TO Consent.
A telegram from Senator Young was
also made public, as follows:
Il am reasonably in close touch with
the situation IN Iowa. want a settle
ment for the good OF republicanism
more than any man in the state. l do
not want settlement that means a
sacrifice Of the priciples that we have
been fighting, for, but IL my supporters
think there is something standing for
these principles on whom the leglsla-
ture can unite l am willing to stand
aside while you make the trial. and
Join with you most heartily in making
such an effort at solution"
Roberts on the Seene.
George e. Roberts. director Of the
mint, fresh from Washington and the
councils where big games Of politics
are played, Is taking an interest in the
senatorial game here Ostensibly and
publicly he is lining up the forces for
a center rush play to carry his neigh
Dor. Judge Kenyon. over the goal line
at an early day. On the side 1t is ru-
mored that he Is here to feel out the
situation and in case 1t develops that
Kenyon can not get the standpat vote
to suggest a compromise candidate.
"How would you like to vote for
Roberts as compromise candidate? ?"
was asked by Young standpatter Of
a Kenyon progressive.
The response was not favorable.
But the question and answer showed
the spirit of restlessness.
Incidentally Mr.. Roberts placed him
self on record as positively against the
direct election Of senators. But his
main game is to see whether or not
there is any chance for the election Of
anybody to the senate and IL there il
to get a result.
Trading Propositions.
Another interesting rumor broke
loose last night. It was SC the eject
that now with the Oregon plan out OF
the way. the printer and binder po-
sitions were to be used for trading
purposes. Originally these offices were
dangled before the democrats. They
were offered either one Of the positions
II they would aid in the election Of q
certain candidate notorious for not be-
Ing scrupulous In his methods. But
now the proposals for trading are
wholly within the republican party.
Tho matter Of election Of printer and
binder could be brought up at any
time during the sessions OF the Joint
assembly. Tho only thing which deters
some OF tho persons interested. % Il
u said, II the fact that any deal at
fecting these offices would become ap.
parent ana would for all time b Q
blot on the record Of the legislature.
