mum, and doubtless not "A little policy

torial campaign OF w, II. Andrews
The votes east at the joint session
indicate little of the strength of any
enc of the leading candidates, because
Mr. Bursum has at his disposar quito
la number of votes. Sometimes he
votes them one way and sometimes
another. The worst sufferer In fact is
Judge Fan, and II Is difficult for the
judge to control his temper at times
as a result of Mr.. Bursums playful-
ness.
Judge Fan leads all other cand-
dates. as It is. but he might receive
many more votes than are credited To
him were II not for the fact that BUR-
sum each day persuades certain of the
legislators who favor Fairs election to
scatter their votes among favoritc sons
and others who have no chance of cleo

Bursum prefers to swell the vote
for Governor Mills to nearly twice II
legitimate strength, or pass out few
complimentarIes to Others OF the
minor candidates. Also II Is fair to
state that on any day he desires. Mr..
Bursuin can raise the Andrews vote
from IA or f5 to about 2s, and there
he would stop. for the present. at
least. Aside from the fun he in hay-
ing, that IL the real reason for not al.
lowing Fall TO get more votes. He
prefers to run no chance OF electing
any one candidate until he sees whom
the votes are coming from to put An
drews across the line also. Then ho
enjoys seeing Fall get wrathy. He
even had one vote cast for Judge
Falls son, In order to hold down the
vote cast for the Judge.
There is growing belief that the
deadlock can not he broken until An
drews Is elected or until II Is shown
that he cannot he elected, IN which
case his strength probably would go
largely to Fall and Catron. the COM
blnation backed by solomon Luna.
But II is by no means certain that
the elimination OF Andrews would
elect Catron. There is positive oppo-
sition to the sage Of Santa re. as
there Is to Andrews.
There Is much talk OF q new man.
Luna Is being urged even by demo-
Gratis. to go In and break the dead
lock and allow legislation to proceed.
So far he has not yielded. Some say
he will consent within less than
week to allow the use OF his name.
Others quite well acquainted with
him say the contrary.
