The caucus nominee. Senator Gribble
took occasion to thank those senators
who supported hi scandidacy. The
statement reads. as follows:
while lost the election for the

to me TO know that; ] had the strong
support Of such a large number OF sen.

or combination, or. from any outside
influence. political or otherwise. They
gave me their support, believing that
I measured up to their idea as pos

"The election OF Senator Sinsel as
president Of the Senate will be accept

no feeling growing out OF this contest.
Senator Sinsel Is q very high class
man, capable, and will make an ideal
presiding officer.

of the Senate will receive from the
president the same consideration, and
that his administration will be able
