IS nes Noines Feb. 1.-The republican
feeders declared following the joint ball
lat TODAY that in all probability there
viii he the same ballot tomorrow. as
nobody expects a change. The kenyon
men have asked that the entire pro-
Rre.siye vote be cast for him at ieas'
once more, and intimate that unless ne
makes some substantial gam on the
ballot tomorrow they will be ready LOT
consideration OF a plan to throw II all
70 Funk on the following day. or to
some OF the others who are candidates.
A great many OF the Funk contingent
received protests this morning from
constituents who did not understand
the Significance Of the plan to cast the
vote for different candidates In turn.
and they accepted the theory OF the
KENYON organs that Funk has com.
pietely withdrawn. 1t Is expected Ken
yon will be here tonight.
Crisis on Thursday.
"On Thursday comes the crisis" was
the word which went forth Tuesday
afternoon from the Kenyon camp.
The Funk following had consented
10 70 to Kenyon for ono or possibly two
ballots, for the purpose OF electing Ken
yon senator II that was possible. II
WAS confessed that some OF them did
II very reluctantly, but they voted that
way fairly on Tuesday.
II was an open secret that the Young
following was badly scared and sent 10
the state house biggest lobby yet seen
there TO surround every Young vote and
keep II in line for the senator. Inc
lobby did its work well; not soldier
was lost.
They said they could and would do
~ another day. Then the cry went up
that on Thursday a break would come;
and this was used to induce the Funk
,nen to continue voting indefinitely for
Kenyon.
Two OF the Funk votes went to
Young. Harvey, OF Osceoa, is normally
a standpatter and was held to F'unk
only because OF locality. Allen, OF Jef-
ferson, went to Young and viii prob
ably stay, on the theory that II ne Is
not able to land a progressive he wants
a thoroughbred standpatter and no nan
and half proposition.
May Turn to Funk.
It Is not improbable, after vote OF
two has been taken for Kenyon. that the
regular proRressives will make propo-
sition that both the Funk and the Ken
Won men all vote as many times lot
Funk. That would be only fair. some
OF the Funk men feel that the Kenyon
machine has not treated them fairly.
hut they have shown their fairness ana
NAV soon be in q position to call Tor
return OF favors. Then II Funk can
not win try Garst, and II not MIN theh
Deemer or Wallace or Pickett or some
other worthy person.
Tho most senseless thing IN cohnec-
tion with the whole matter was an
effort yesterday on the part OK the
Young organ to break tho force OF the
movement to Kenyon by starting
story that the concentration was due
