specified by the constitution, the su-

TAKE FIFTH VOTE
ON SENATORSHIP

Springfield, Ill, Feb. 20.-The fifth
joint ballot on the long and short
term senatorships, taken today, was
without result
The senatorship deadlock will not
be broken this week. When both
houses adjourn today they will stand
adjourned until next Wednesday.
Governor Dunno last night issued a
formal statement declaring for the
election of James Hamilton Lewis,
democrat, for the long term senator
ship and Lawrence y. Sherman, re-
publican, for the short term.
The governor called upon demo
Gratis, republicans. progressives and
socialists who believe in the right
of the people to advise their represen-
tatives by primary vote to go into a
Joint conference and agree upon Lewis
and Sherman.
Republicans and progressives alike
opposed Governor Dunne's proposition.
The republicans refused to go into any
conference which would bind them in
advance to support Lewis for the long
term.
The governors statement caused an
explosion within the democratic ranks
fractional warfare has broken out with
renewed vigoT.
Arthur Charles, chairman Of ths
state committee, made a scorching re
ply to the governor. He declared il
would be "inexcusable and shameful
for 81 democrats to surrender to Il
republicans the fruits of victory wher
they have state and federal admins
trations to support them" He insisted
that the Bipartisan deal proposed II
indefensible and will be disastrous tc
tho democrats of the state
Mr.. Charles said that Lewis and
Boeschenstein both could have beeI
elected before this if it had not beeI
for the governors policy of seeking t.
elect Lewis first.
Indications are that no such confer
ence as is proposed by the governo
will be held. A Sherman-Lewis dea
still is possible, but only on condition
that the democrats agree to take tn
short term.
