killed finally for this session of con

The vote TO override the veto was
261. and TO sustain it 1876, with two
members voting present. a total of 399
members in attendance. 1t required a
two-thirds vote of those present to
override veto, in this instance 266
votes. So the veto was sustained by five
votes. The result was so close that il
was necessary to recapitulate the
vote before announcement was made
by Speaker Clark that the attempt to
override the veto had failed.
Representative Burnett announced
that the bill thus killed would be
brought back into the house with the
that the friends of a restricted immi.
grafton would force its passage by

law of the land.

Springfield. H.. Feb 1.-Two dis.
ttnct movements looking toward the
breaking of the speakership deadlock
in the lower house of the legislatures
were under way here today Both
contemplate the election of republi-
can with the aid of democratic votes.
The Lee O'Neil Browne faction of
democrats has been ready for several
days to vote for a republican. but so
far have been unable to muster sufii-
cient votes to put over a candidate
The second movement, which took
definite form today, is designed to
unite The anttBrowne democrats with
a sufficient number of republicans to
elect a speaker. 1t was reported that
il this plan materializes either former
Speaker Edward d. Shurtlef or Homer
!. Tice might be selected.
The proposed new combination Of
democrats, it was said. would be made
up Of the fgoe and The Hubbard-Hus-
factions. They are divided
on the wet and dry issue. but it was
reported this issue would be elimina-
ted with an agreement that both sides
should have square deal. The
Browne faction is comprised entirely
of vets, who are endeavoring to or
ganize the house on strictly wet lines
The house took two more ballots
yesterday afternoon, running the total
roll calls up TO 80. and then adjourned
with an agreement that no further
business will be attempted before
Tuesday of next week. Some OF the
