failed to deliver his votes to Funk to-
day, and as result the latter only
reached a total Of IS in the balloting.
Judge Kenyon himself personally
appealed to his followers to be as fair
with the Funk people as they had been
with him. and to give Funk all their
votes. but twelve Of the Kenyon fol-
lowers refused to consider his interests
ana broke away from tho program. OF
these four continued to vote for Ken
yon and eight went to Young.
How They Voted.
All Of the original Funk men re-
turned to Funk. The Kenyon men who
refused to desert him and remained
with him today were Brockaway. Felt,
Hammill and Schee. The Kenyon men
who voted for Young were Ames. Fry,
Halgrims, Hogan. Jacobs. Jacobsen.
Patterson and Cripley. and OF these
Ames, Hogan and Ripley alone have
been classed az progressives. These
eight added to Young. with one absent.
made him q votes. Had the entire
twelve Kenyon votes been delivered to
Funk he would have been within ten
Of an election.
Young Men Disappointed.
After tho BALLOT today 1t was stated
that the Young men were disappointed
that they had been unable to secure
larger proportion OF the Kenyon
strength, 10 they had made great ef-
fort to secure others. The Kenyon
managers were disappointed over tho
failure to recIprocate with the Funk
men, On the previous three days the
Funk men had delivered to Kenyon
nineteen Of the original Funk men;
but today only twelve of the original
Kenyon men came to Funk. Only four
OF the men who went over to Kenyon
are farmers. which Is taken to indicate
that his plea Of opposition to Taft on
reciprocity is not working very well.
Proaressives Get Together.
There is q distinct advantage for the
progressives OF the legislature In the
plan which has been worked out for
ali voting together. On three success
sive days 66 votes were cast for the
progressive candidate. Leaders Of the
party figure that II nothing else Is ac-
complished It is at least worth while
to demonstrate that the progressive re-
publicans Of the state are able to get
together and act as one body.
ITS q good thing for us to get into
the habit Of all voting together in
this body" said one of them last ev-
enin1. There seems to be disposition
on the part Of the standpat faction to
force matters 30 that we will have to
stand together on a great many mat
ters. In preparation for that we are
getting together. 1t may be that we
will have to confer as a body on what
we shall do as to some measures which
como IN here as distinctly factional in
nature and are proposed solely to give
the standpat faction an advantage.
Will Vote soIidIy.
Leading republicans desire 1t to be
understood that while there has been
no compact or agreement as to voting
solidly they expect to continue this
and not only to cast ballots for Kenyon
but for Funk and for others. and thus
to make It very plain that they are
making an honest effort to elect a SEN
ator. Yet the vote cast for Kenyon
was neither formal nor complimentary
but it was so cast in the hope that he
would be elected. It is believed that
every man who got back of his can
didacy the past three days stands ready
to get back Of him for the primary
campaign Of next year. now fairly
opened. IN case he should be elected.
Youne's Tactics Amusing.
The action Of Senator Young in send
ing nightly kilograms to the members
beseeching them to vote for him to re-
buke the president. is causing much
amusement among the members. They
expect him home in day or two when
he VIII again take steps to make Sc
cure the standpat line.
A leading lobbyist for Young stated
last night. 1--WE are going to put the
progressives on record on the primary
first: then we are going to elect Claude
Porter to be senator"
There Is disposition to adjourn the
legislature tomorrow over until Tues
day which will give time for members
constituents how they like the way
things are going.
