Two distinct movements were start
Cd today 70 have some effect on the
senatorial matter. The first was by
tho a.semocrats and some of the stand

which the democrats would secure leg
islation they desire. and especially to
prevent any harmful legislation on the
LIQUOR question. and in return they
would help secure the I'LL for q special
primary. Tho mtater has been taken up

Break in Lines Imminent.
The breakup is imminent in the sem
atorial matter. That became plain the
moment the first formal ballot was
taken. the one in the joint session OF
the assembly. !,
Senator Young has plainly reached
the maximum on his vote and will not
he ablo at any time to reach his claims
az forty-one or even the thirty-eight
he has said would stay by him all the
time. The fact that he yesterday only
received thirty-two Of the forty-fouf
recognized standpat votes shows DIS
nosition on. the part OF the standpat
people to disintegrate.
AZ present Senator Funk stands the
best show Of combining all elements
and securing an election. II their votes
would elect he could probably at once
secure at least forty OF the progress
ives, possibly forty-flve or more OF
them.
In case the deadlock holds on few
days It Is certain that strong efort
will be made on the part OF the stand
patters to throw their entire vote to
Kenyon, 70 thus elect him senator and
to place them In a position to claim
they did 1t and to assure his adherence
70 their cause. This IS part Of the
standpat program.
II neither Funk nor Kenyon reach
near to an election within a few days.
then the progressives will try to con-
centrate on either Byers or Garst. per-
haps on one and then the other. or they
may put up some other candidate. as
Clarke or Pickett or Hubbard and by
siv;ns hin, all their vote leave the full
responsibility for the failure to eject
with the standpatters.
Ono standpat member stated yester-
day that the standpat program, SO far
rs outlined now, is to rush the special
primary bill to the floor of the legis-
laAure ana to compel a vote on that and
thus have q record made solely for
election purposes, then to throw the
solid standpat vote to Kenyon and
make him their candidate. This as
sumes that the entire standpat vote
can be handled Just as a few bosses
dictate.
Yeuns's influence Wanss.
A prominent newspaper man, editor
Of a standpat paper in the northern
part Of the state. who was yesterday
importuned by Young to come out for
the. primary, declined to do 30. and
stated to Senator Young that he is dead
opposed to the primary and that he is
going to do everything he can to Sc
cure tho election OF Kenyon. He also
declared his belief that this could be
done this week.
Senator Young has been engaged the
past few days in making personal ap-
p6ais to members to stand by him in
the balloting. He has closed his big
headquarters in the Savery but is ct
work among the members doing per-
oonal work. He has also set In motion
