ILLINOIS ELECTS
TWO u. S. SENATORS
lewis Chosen for Long Term,
Sherman for Short.
LONG DEADLOCK is ENDED
Governor Dunno Wins Fight for Com
bination of Democrats and Repub-
Leans, Despite Bitter Opposition
Of Party Organizations.

Springfield. H., March 2S.-Col. ].
Hamilton Lewis, Democrat. on We'd
nesday, was elected to the United
States senate for the long term and
Lawrence Y. Sherman, Republican. for
the short term on the fifteenth ballot
taken in the joint session of the two
houses OF the Illinois legislature.
They probably viii be the last men
to be elected to the senate from this
state under the present system.
Springfield, ILL.,, March 27.-Col. ].
Hamilton Lewis. Democrat. was elect
ed to the United States senate for the
long term and Lawrence Y. Sherman,
Republican. for the short term on
the fifteenth ballot taken In the joint
session of the two houses of the I'LL
nois legislature. They probably will
be the last men to be elected to the
senate from this state under the pres
ent system.
This result was brought about by
combination of Republicans and Demo
Gratis, large majority of each party's
representatives united to end the long
deadlock by electing the two men who
received the Endorsement of the voters
of the state at the senatorial primary
last year.
Colonel Lewis received the support
of all the Republican members except
six, all OF the Democrats excepting
seven, and the four Progressive votes
which were cast for him last week,
giving him a total of 1874. Mr.. Sher-
mans vote was somewhat smaller than
that cast for Colonel Lewis, some OF
the Democrats Withholding their sup
port from the Republican candidate.
Organization Democrats fought the
deal to the last, and most of. them
went down to defeat voicing their pro-
test. They had made despairing ap-
peal to Governor Dunno to withdraw
his support of this proposition. prom
ising to unite on Colonei Lewis and
some other Democrat. but the COVER
nor refused to listen to them.
Some of the Republican leaders also
opposed the deal, taking the position
they should not shoulder the respon-
sibility of electing a Democratic sen.
ator on whom the members OF that
party were not united. They were
outvoted almost five to one, and the
movement to end the deadlock was
given an impetus which could not be
checked.
To Governor Dunno more than to
anyone else is given the credit for
bringing the contest to an end on the
basis of the peoples choice as ex-
pressed at the primary Several weeks
ago he saw there was no possibility OF
electing two Democrats. and he then
took the ground that a combination
for the election of Lewis and Sher-
man was the only logical one for the
legislature to take In view of the COM
plicated political situation existing
there
From that moment he has bent his
energies in the direction of bringing
about the result which was accom-
plisbed. He was opposed by large
element in his party. but he hewed to
the line he had marked out.
