Another brief conference of the
senate compromise committees TO
night proved as fruitless in breaking
the deadlock as any of those preced-
ing. There was no chance for a set
tlement as there is a chord of dissen-
sion among the fifteen Democrats over
the tentative selection of Senator
French as their candidate and an ad-
journment was asked until tomorrow
in order that a caucus may be held
during the morning and the problem
threshed out. Diplomacy is the pro-
gram in getting the seventh district
man out of the way and though an
open clash seems sure to follow in
any event. there seems a spirit OF
procrastination prevalent that would
delay the inevitble as long as pos
sible. "Wednesday is the last day OF
the six day extra session called by
Governor Glasscock. IL has been with
out result The deadlock is on as
hard and fast as ever and there is no
indication that compromise Will
come before next week at the earliest.
